I know! I was thinking about it. Althought I would love the styling and 555 hp. The one thing that I know I would eventually regret is the 6 speed transmission. I am a daily driver, 40 miles to and from work every day so the 8 speed will save me tremendously on gas mileage when compared to the M. Not to mention when the Dinan Stage 2 comes out + the Dinan Intercoolers are released, the 50i will be darn close to X5M territory anyway. Spoke to Dinan and they claim 503 hp on the 2013 50i when released stage 2 tune + 20 hp / 10tq with the intercooler kit to bring you up to 524 hp / 583 tq at the crank which has to come pretty darn close to matching the performance spec of the 555hp x5m.

Plus, I currently ordered the M Perf Package with 440hp so I may wait a few years until I get the Dinan Stage 2 + Intercooler Package. Heck, I may be completely satisfied with my 440 hp for the entirety of my 50i owning days.

Cheers fellas!

oh yeah... guys.

1.) Usually when do we get the build production video sent to us at BMWUSA.com to watch our car being run through the factory? I heard it is 4 days after production starts?

2.) When I go to track my order on MYBMW website. My model is correct, 2013 X5 50i and my color is correct: Black Sapphire Metallic. But my options are incorrect. It lists m sport, m perf, prem 2, prem audio, but it doesnt list the dark burl walnut trim color, it doesnt list multi contour seats upgrade, it doesnt list bmw apps, and it doesnt list 20" wheel upgrade. not to mention it doesnt list Adaptive Drive. Is it normal for the specs to be messed up on the order tracking page?

Thanks fellas, as usual!

If the dealer used an existing build slot, your order/options just might not have caught up in the system yet. The color and options on mine was wrong for about 5 days.

Sounds good man. I was thinking it was just a glitch and you are probably 100% right about that because to be honest when I first entered in my production number the night that I placed my order it was a completely different truck. It was an X5 35i Titanium Silver or something like that. So, I am thinking the dealer just used that pre-suv slot to get my car through the line ASAP. If my car gets here at 3 weeks I am going to give a big thanks to my sales rep George at the dealer.

im not sure I could handle the wait.

ive been mulling over dumping my 4.8 for a 50i every single day ive had it for the last 3 months ive owned it and I actualky love it.

its just to ponder how much more awesome it could be withthe 8sd, more hp and twin turbo.

Best thng I can suggest is to go pay a visit to your local stealer.
It's my 3rd TT (or Twin scroll turbo for the X1) and it is a pretty pleasant feeling (even for the X1 when floored".

Maybe not such a good idea after all.
If you try one out, you may end up buying it on the spot...
It's that much fun !

As for the 8spd, I had it on the X1, and it's a nice addition. Less jerky than the 6spd but for the 4 cyl, it was always looking for the right speed, unless you used the Sport mode.

If it's still that way today, I would call your rep and have him confirm that your specs are entered correctly and/or he gave you the correct production #. Once it hits the build stage, you're screwed if anything is wrong.

I just went through same experience with my 2013 335 order - the online info on my build was incorrect until the vehicle entered production. All along the way the dealer was confirming he sees correct info in his ordering system, and the day it went production, the online info has updated to correct one... The web site is well known to show incorrect info up until last moment, so I probably wouldn't worry much.

i think dealer has to receive the code 150 to really signify your car went into production. My online info was incorrect until the Dealer emailed me "code 150, production started" After that, the online info was updated and correct. Seriously took 2 weeks for my car to finish/deliver. Hope you get yours soon! Wait was agonizing, and I was in Italy for vacation, racking up a international data bill checking on the progress!
