21st for me and no status also. It was supposed to be delivered last week but we're still waiting.

[spangle1980]

BMW is a German company, and they screw you equally as the rest of us? Apart from US who seem to get REALLY great delivery times :-/

Granted those guys have theirs made in the US, but it still sucks ... Nine months for me.

Well my status changed to 182 and they expect delivery any day now!!! They've also received a few others these last few days. A lucky guy was picking up his M40i while I was there.

I'm sure yours was on the same boat.

My dealer said I am still at 165 but at this point i am just very irritated

[Ksams44]

I understand bro.

[miro9]

Did your dealer tell you of "status 182"?

I wonder whether there were any delays related to Christmas Holidays...

[Ksams44]

He only said it meant it was between the port and the dealership.

Have you been told anything

Just this: "BMW AG does not provide a public tracking system for US-spec vehicles. The last update I received was on 25 January (status 165), means your BMW has arrived at the port in Charleston and went on a ship. The next update I receive from BMW will confirm the arrival of your vehicle at the port Bremerhaven, which I expect to receive towards the end of February".

When you picking up your car bro? Don't forget to post pics

[Ksams44]

They've gone dark again! I paid for the car yesterday and got my insurance so I can register it as soon as it arrives. Hopefully it arrives today and I can pick it up on Monday... wishful thinking on my part!

Lol not they went dark. But yea that is what I am doing also because once it is ready I want to get in the car and leave

Note: picture is not my car (thank you to the owner), but the closest I could find. Mine has red calipers and Cognac leather, and will get H&R coilovers and spacers.

MY '22 X3M40i SPEC:
TZN blue
Cognac vernasca
Shadowline package
Parking Asst Package
Premium Package
Remote start
21" 726i wheels w/ throw-away RFT
NO spare
M Sport diff
Trailer Hitch
Red Calipers
Rear window shades
Carbon Fiber trim
Driver recorder

Discounts: -750 Loyalty
-1000 Finance with BMW (1.9%)

changed, added, subtracted from order several times. Don't recommend. caused no delays, but could have. Plus, drove my very nice sales advisor crazy

Ordering Dealer: Santa Fe BMW (Susan Grab, CA)

Dates:
Ordered 12-28-21
Assigned build week 7
Got production number 1-18-22
Last change made 1-31-22
In production, got VIN 2-4-22

Cancelled factory delivery (US) due to Covid concerns

As far as I can see, I am getting everything that I ordered. Was never offered HK. Trailer hitch came later. Shadowline never an issue. Tried hard to get NON RFT's on 21's, BMW didn't even consider. Don't know yet if ordering TZN Blue will delay order, but it's worth the wait.

With a fully loaded M40i, I came close in cost to a base X3M! No regrets, but something to consider.

As soon as I get the car PPF'd and Ceramic glazed, I will post a full compendium of photos. After break-in, I will fill the car with skis, and take a run over the "High Road to Taos." Will report.

Again, thanks for the help.


Thanks to many of you for the online help. There are a lot of decisions to make when ordering, plus all the interaction with like-minded BMW nuts makes the wait a little easier! I am happy to return the favor; any questions about my spec or the process, please feel free to ask online or thru private email. In particular, I thoroughly studied wheels/tires. I think that BMW needs to get rid of RFT's altogether, but until they do, there are solutions.
