New 2011 X5 i35d ordered ! ... Almost at invoice!

[HadoukenZR]

Hey all,

First off great forum. I got so much useful info before the purchase.

2011 X5 i35d Build
Alpine White
Black perforated Nevada leather

- Premium package
- Technology package
- Cold weather package
- Premium sound package
- Rear climate control package
- Active ventilated seat package

- Convenience access key
- Space saver tire
- Matte roof rails
- Running boards

Originally I didn't want to get cold weather package but when the order was submitted the factory said theres a restriction. If i wanted the active ventilated seats i "HAD" to get the cold weather package. Kinda sucked but paid an extra $305.

The total car price w/ all options was only $215 OVER INVOICE cost ! In addition, applied the $3,500 eco-credit PLUS $1000 incentive BMW Ultimate drive event.
So that should be $4285 UNDER invoice before tax, tag, title, etc... Yeah it took several trips and hours of negotiating to get the price down though. FYI, initial profit margin asking was $1599 over invoice.

I thought about getting the smart phone integration + BMW apps but in the end the iPod USB cord should do almost everything except video play back right? .... And even with video playback you cant watch while vehicle is in motion so ... wasn't worth it to me.

Car goes into production this Thursday ! .. Only 1 day after putting order in Cant wait till it arrives !

Congrats HadoukenZR! Looks like you have a great SAV heading your way with all those options. I just ordered a 2012 X5 50 last night so we will be in production at around the same time. I agree with you completely regarding "I CAN'T WAIT TIL IT ARRIVES"!!!! The 4 weeks is going to be torture.

Congrats! You will love it.

I haven't heard about a recent "$1000 incentive BMW Ultimate drive event". Did BMW recently have another promotion???

Its a event they have a BMW dealerships to test out their newest cars. Usually by invitation or you call to sign up.

My SA just told me to show up and register. Once you register, you still get the promotion code to apply $1000 off any BMW car purchase.

Is BMW currently running this Event or was that in the past, such as January or February?

I just went to the event this Monday 6/27. The events are still going on but you need to find which dealership near you is holding it.

Not all BMW dealerships hold this event from what I understand.

Can you please do me a favor and let me know when your order goes from "On Order" to "Start of Production" via BMW's online tracking system. I ordered my 2012 X5 50i with M Sport Package 3 weeks ago and it has yet to go to production. I think something is up with my dealership, so if you go to production in the next week or so, then I will know for sure that I am getting the run around. Thanks in advance.

THE TIME IT TAKES OTHERS IS UNRELATED TO YOUR ORDER!!!

Do a search, this is an incredibly common issue.

Every dealer has a set number of 'slots' per month. Once they sell the slots for June, or July OR AUGUST, they can still TAKE orders but you will not be seeing the car until they have an open slot.

SO asking another buyer when their car goes into production is about as useful as using sunspots to predict YOUR order.

People ask the wrong question. They should ask "how many slots do you have, and which one is mine". Instead they ask "when will it go to production and are told 'BMW hasn't told us'
