Info. Needed on Midwest Delivery Timeline
Hello All,
My x3 scheduled for production on week12, I called in this morning to 800 number to check the status since website shows on-order starting 2/21 till today, I was told it just started production and it will be going to paint shop next, also they mentioned production will be complete on 3/25 My questions are: 1. Does any of us here (especially from midwest, USA) have a rough idea as to how long it took for them to take delivery since production completion date, I am from minneapolis, MN, I know few of our members are from IL and MN, so any timeline information will be great. I am asking this because I have signed up for x3 drive event with my dealer and its scheduled on 4/12, so I wanted to plan on taking delivery either before or after the event. 2. I am also planning to add the mud flaps for the front and rear, would like to know if its going to cost me more (installation charges) if I have the dealer install it for me, during delivery. I am thinking I will need to pay only the cost of the product and it will installed for free if I add it before delivery, but not sure, so thought to check the experience of our x3 team here. Any effort taken to respond is appreciated. Thanks. Jay. Last edited by jaymk5; 03-16-2011 at 12:09 PM.. |

At that time (first week of Feb.) the website timeline was lagging about 48 hours behind the "800" number in reporting vehicle production/shipping status. |

Anyway thx much for the response. On a side note, I will also implement the screw change on my car, following you and MA78. I try to pay attention to detail as much as I can, and I liked that simple touch very much. But I am still yet to decide on my license frame. I think I saw 2 of them, one with "X3" on it and other one saying "ultimate driving machine", so thinking the later one will be good, but have to see once for real to see how its going to go with my car and color. If both don't work, I will probably go for a simple black frame like MA78 |

If I were you, I'd let the dealer know that you absolutely don't want anyone "test-driving" your car before you receive it. I made that extremely clear to my CA and when I picked up the car it had 2.9 miles on the odo. |

I told them not to detail, wash or even look to hard at my car when it arrived. I had to take all the plastic off the seats myself, and that's how it should be dammit! |

And thanks for the idea of letting dealer know my thoughts, I would do that first via phone and then drop in a email to my CA and SM, to avoid this from happening. Thanks Jay. |

I actually have a concern that the detailing person in the dealer ship trying to clean my wood trim or external of the car and create fine scratches. I have to think about it. Let me know how much time it took for you to do the prep work for the first drive? also would like to know if you took help from dealer to perform the initial idrive/electronic setup or you did that yourself ? |

WoW you spent a lot of time to prep the car. I think dealer would have spent may be 2 or 3 hours at the max, but I am thinking your end result would have been much better than dealers work. I think I will let my dealer do the work, but let him know very clearly not to let anybody drive my car and be extra cautious to avoid any scratches on interior trim and on paint work. Thanks for the taking time to respond.

Ordered my X3 Jan 11 with an open build slot during week 4. My BMW build video showed up on 1/28 and the car was at my dealer in Texas on 2/3. Cannot beat that.

I have a 4.30pm slot on 12th at Moterwerks, so I think it will be pretty close to your completion and my start, may be we might meet-up. For trikincurt its in the first half of the day, so it will be too late for him, until ours start.
