Just talked to my dealer and putting my order in tomorrow.

I also decided to upgrade myself to the equally equipped M40i...I've been spending to much time on this forum.

Do you have an official date as to when the order can be executed? ( Assuming you are talking about a 2019.......,)

At 6PM today the dealer told me "allocations are available for 2019, I'll place your order tomorrow (7/6/2018)"


I'll confirm tomorrow.

Does anyone know when production on the xDrive 30i will actually begin and what we might expect for delivery if ordered today? I get different answers from different dealers and none seem confident of these dates. I probably will order today, and I really want Active Cruise (5DF) so I might get caught in a delay over that.

Start of production for X models is August, but I haven't heard if there is a specific date in August when that happens. I had understood that the first deliveries would probably begin in late August or early September.

I just got my production number for my 2019 M40i. Scheduled for week 33 (8/12/2018) with a delivery 4 weeks later. Putting me right in the middle of September!

I can't wait!

You beat me by just a little r3t1cal. I placed my order (2019 xDrive30i) less than two hours ago and my production number currently shows only "order received", but I assume that will update soon. When did you place your order?

From what I learned from a few dealers, all 2019 X3 X drive models will start building that week. But some don't have allocation yet.

Best I could get from 2 days of research is 9.5% off msrp. This is with a couple dealers who have allotment. Others might give a better discount, but your order may sit for a month or two. Anyone do better?

I got around 12%, but it was because of issue which occurred with the 2018. Overall an amazing deal, thank god I've learned patience!

I guess with the $1500 rebate, I could say I was then getting about a 12% discount, but I imagine your deal would then bump up to about 14%.
Either way, considering the 2019 pricing was just released and the vehicles don't start assembly until the middle of next month, I think we did pretty well. Of course, like with anything, a few months from now, the discounts will be better. They always are.
Well at some dealers anyway.

I'm changing from the current 21" to the 20" wheels and getting the Adaptive M Suspension. Even though Phytonic Blue looks great, this time I'm going with Alpine White.
This is precisely what happened to me after a visit to a dealer yesterday for color shopping. I was all set on blue; then I saw a sold M40i in white with the blue stitching on black leather and changed my mind instantly. The contrast of the M Performance upgrades contrast so well with white. Plus, white is an easier-care color here in New England.

The car that stole my heart has oak trim; I want the matte wood trim.

What a stunner the M40i is in white!

Good news, finally! I got my production number! The website doesn't have any dates on it for me to post officially so I'm going to hold off on revealing the dates I was given so as not to jinx myself.. but with any luck I should have my new car fairly soon after production begins!

I just placed an order for 2019 X3 M40i. Order received correctly showing colors and options along with standard features. I noticed under standard features, it states Sport leather steering wheel. I hope it comes through with the M Sport leather steering wheel like the 2019 M40i's are supposed to? Hopefully as the process moves along, it will show up.

It's probably BMW just not updating their ordering system, but I'd pester your sales guy about this. It's not the right description.

From the pricing guide, the "Sport leather steering wheel" (option 255) is standard on the x30i, but that's not the M wheel. You want to see the description, "M Steering Wheel" (option 710), which is supposedly standard on the M40i, again according to the pricing guide.

(I get the impression that BMW builds these cars via these option numbers. If so, it's probably in your best interest to make sure the numbers are correct. BMW should have checks in place to make sure that M40i's are built with the proper options, but perhaps they haven't yet updated that for the 2019 cars.)

I'll check with my dealer in a couple days. Hopefully before then, BMW's system will update the info on my build.

My order is just like Bob’s and I’ll also follow up with my dealer later this week or next. Would hate to have the wrong steering wheel.

I'm going to join the club!

Placed order yesterday, delivery around 10th of October in Holland, for the following:

X3 30d M Sport - 2019 Model
Black sapphire
Alu trim roofrails + alu window trim
Individual Piano High gloss interior panels
Vernasca Black leather
Sport seats (with memory)
High Executive
HUD
M brakes (part of M Sport package)
M steering wheel (710)
Adaptive suspension
21" Individual V spoke wheels style 726I
Parking assistant plus
Driving assistant plus
Moonroof
Harman/Kardon speakers

Lot of these options are standard in the US but in Europe it's all additional, so mine is quite specced. Couldn't get sensatec dashboard as it's now exclusively linked to the Luxury Line and not available for production before week 18 in 2019 ! So I really miss this option as it gives more luxury interior but didn't want to wait for another year. (Maybe dealer was exaggerating on when it would be available again but I was in his office when he tried to put the order in and system just denied it, so at least something is going on with that option)
