Its his first build so Im hoping end april...I didnt ask about timeline (I should have)...as for pricing...Im in a situation where the dealer is righting a previous wrong so the pricing will not be relevant to anyone negotiating a deal....what is relevant is that by doing the deal the dealership has proven they are very honorable and will get my and anyone I can refer's business in the future...

Who told you that it will take 3-4 months? Dealers will have LCI X5 by 3rd to 4th week of April.

Based on the US price guide it seems that the style 214 wheels will not be available for the xDrive50i. Is that the case or have I misread? I cannot say that I am a fan of the style 336s and paying the hefty premium for the style 128s or style 215s seems absurd.

That seems to be the case. You can work something with your dealer. Depending on your relationship with the dealer they can accommodate you with 214 wheels as there is always somebody else who likes style 336 wheels. I am sure there are some members here who will swap the wheels with you.

I suppose it is bundled in the original nappa leather option. Will that also be the case for the 2011?

Thanks for all of the great information that I have been able to find so far!

Check with your dealer. I will not use 2010 X5 configurator at this time.

SO....I have been wondering...when will we be able to configure a 2011 on the bmwusa website? I understand it is hard to say for sure but I was curious if Lemans or any other long time bmw enthusiast could venture an estimation based on past experience..I realize that little remains to be seen but I like to build my bimmers on the site first haha creature of habbit

More than a month away based on past experience. World premiere is just 2 weeks away at Geneva. My guess is they will wait till US debut at NY auto show.

Has anyone been able to order their 2011 X5 with the side camera or with Deep Ocean Blue? My CA told me that they were greyed out in the BMW ordering system.

Thanks!
