Thanks! Just wanted something that was similar to Tesla's system, I test drove a Tesla model Y earlier this year and I thought it was incredible, this driver's pro package should give me something similar (not autonomous) during highway driving, which just helps relieve a lot of the stress that you don't even realize is happening..

How do they know what number you are? There's a lot of people here that are getting completed 2,5,6 of August. What positions could we be? 😁😁😁 I'd love to know

Yes, that's what the dealership told me...I'm assuming there's something in the ordering system which tells them.

Doing delivery at the Performance Center, not sure when yet but I would assume sometime early to mid September..

Maybe I'll see you there!

The dealer said #23 in production for the US...

I think that would be very cool, always a pleasure to meet a fellow enthusiast!

I went with the boring "Black Extended Merino Leather Interior." Everytime I order a car I say "this is the year I'm NOT going to order a black interior"...but I always end up doing it. I had REALLY wanted to order ivory, but my wife said that would be not smart, so...

[Baylorguy]

Hey folks, wondering if there has been any movement past "production begins" status?

Not from my side!

I talked to BMWNA late last week and they mentioned that the system is finicky. We might get a bunch of steps happening all at the same time as we approach vehicle completion, per their comments. This is what might be happening with our cars. My car started July 14th and still shows as "production begins." Seems unlikely…

So just my two cents so far.. Ivory is scary.. but I did get whatever is considered "ceramic" coating done on my interior.. and so far even when I accidentally got in with clay mud on my shorts .. it wiped right off with a towel and water. I sometimes get caught with my X3m in a fishing situation that I can't turn down lol.

not saying that other things wont happen to it.. but I am a bit less worried now.

My brother had an oyster interior some time ago. WHAT A NIGHTMARE. Stains everywhere.

No way I'd pick anything lighter than a brown for a car. But that's me. The amaro brown stayed in perfect condition throughout 3 years of ownership of my M3.

Had ivory for over a year, not a single stain. Have a son and 2 giant dogs in it all the time. The only thing I don't like is the white cloth on the sides of the back seats. But I would highly recommend it for anyone in a warmer climate. Probably will order an lci with tartufo though, just love that color interior.

It depends on the user then…

How much can you take care and how much do you want to do it?

I'm not up for it 😁. Rather have something more manageable.

Shit frozen dark grey!!! Man

Was just told Week 35, so looks like I have at least another month of waiting for the car to be built + whatever additional weeks the PCD delivery adds...

GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS GUYS

My X3M has been moved up, slated to complete production on July 29th!!!

No movement yet on the online production tracker. The BMW team told me the system won't show any of the progress... which was obvious at this point anyways.

In any case, we are all getting closer! Maybe call and ask for an updated expected completion date. There is an automated system that tells you over the phone, you don't even need to talk to a person.

Generally, PCD adds two weeks. But, there's air fare to buy and setting up the date for the visit.
Funny thing is I had a week and a half where mine was "in transit". Factory is a 2 minute ride from the showroom
Email to performancecenterdeliver@bmwmc.com will usually get a quick response (1 day) on any questions you may have.

no change for me either, scheduled to complete on Aug 4th

[Max Well]

Didn't call as suspect many of us with same Week # will be rolling off the line together, but did check our garage and the tracking status bar hasn't moved.

Even though the LCI's Cd hasn't officially changed, the front and rear diffuser lines are different so still suspect they made some wind tunnel-based adjustments to those design areas.

Are you trying to buy 1 in every color? What color did your dog get 😜?

That's great! Mine should be completed 8/4!

We should be able to input our VIN for the driver's guide and decode the VIN once it's in quality check, so likely next week!
