No Special Order
 

Found out from dealership today that BMW distribution will not special order 19 inch rims for my X5 3.0si.
I liked these rims and wanted to keep the standard soft suspension but I guess I cannot.
So the only option I was left with was to take the Sports Package !....
Production starts this week, so I accepted and took SP !

There aren't any sports package demos around here to test, so I guess I will have to wait and experience the stiffness ! :confused:

I really loved the smoothness and softness of the standard susp but did NOT like the standard 18' rims.....

Now I'll be able to take corners though with a little more confidence.

Have they told you when to expect delivery?

Nice! Hope you have fun!

SP, although I haven't driven a E70 w/ one, is usually too hard for me..But it makes it a ton more sporty...And you probably don't have as many potholes in Canada... :thumbup:

Well I just read truex5er report that his car was due for Feb prod and hes getting it in 2-4 weeks.....I was due to get it in Mar but mine is also in prod right now ( status 12 ) and originally I had 2 weeks from yesterday to make modifications but today I get the email requesting final requirements.....

Sales cons tells me the backlog is gone and everything is running !.....

So I am quite excited now.....sales cons was great in arranging for a loaner car....2005 330xi so I can still enjoy some European flare !

Whats status 12 by the way?

I have no idea how they got me in so early, somebody must have backed out and left an open slot. I gave them the order the second week of January.

It really just depends on the dealer....

BMW OC online says "scheduled or in prodcution" for me. I don't see any status codes. Where did you get that?

I was notified of status 12 code from dealer !

Things have definitely sped up. My car new X5 was projected to be here in March...it's already at the dealer. Picking it up tomorrow...can't wait! It only took about 3 weeks.

post a ton of pics!! :thumbup:

335i2X5,

Mine is in production this week as well, the dealer says to expect to see it in early to mid-March. While I am really anxious to get my hands on it, part of me says that March would be better - I can drive my 04 X5 til then and wait until November to get snow tires (I ordered the 20" package so I won't have the no season tires).
