I've never seen an individual color move up in the production week. It is always a delay, in my experience

There are no notifications for status changes, so you will need to log in to check. Also, it is possible to progress through several stages in a single day.

Are the days of sub 2% financing over? This is kind of making me pause on ordering one. My credit score is over 800 and my current APR is 1.9% on my 2021 X5M (paid off in April). Trying to get a similar deal.

Those days are LONG gone unfortunately. When you financed your X5M the Fed Funds rate (what banks pay the fed reserve to borrow money) was less than 0.1% most likely. So, a bank could borrow at practically nothing and then loan that money to you at a higher rate. In November of 2024, that rate is about 4.6%, so BMW Financial is charging 5.29% to still be profitable on these loans.

Now that rate is starting to trend downward, but without the manufacturer subsidizing the rates, I doubt we will ever see sub 2.0% rates again.

X7's have 1.99% now, it would be rare to see that on a true M model like the M5, but if it doesn't sell, look for large rebates late next year, like the XM has now

My Ind color was approved today. No update on my build week but it was a week 20 prior to the special order color.

Congrats! I just saw you're in Franklin TN, me too!

My Touring has been stuck on "Order Received" for a couple weeks now, but the salesman said January production date. Not sure I put much stock in that until I see it on the BMW My Garage, but fingers crossed.

Did you go through BMW Nashville?

I started there, but when I went in to ask, they started off with a ridiculous markup on the car. I left and called several other dealerships within a 3hr drive, and ended up ordering from a dealership in Hunstville.

Tried to send you a direct message, but it said your box was full.

When I went into the configurator to look at a possible tweak to my order (locked in on 10/29), the configurator shows the original $121.5K base ($122,675 with DC), but then changes to $124.1K base when I launch in to tweak the build.

Thinking it was a software glitch, I did the same build on 3 different devices - all with same result.

My 10/29 order Vehicle Inquiry Report shows Priority 1 - 'customer sold' with order status of '047 - Spec released - no quota'

255G M5T
416 Carbon Black Metallic
LKIA Silverstone
ZDY Driving Assistance Pro Pkg
ZPX Executive Pkg
1GB 20/21s 951 Wheels
1MB M Drive Professional
2NK M Carbon Ceramic Brakes
43P Carbon Fiber Trim
7ME M Drivers Package

Dealer is selling at MSRP - no packs, no adds. I have the first M5T slot that gets allocated to them. Deposit since early 8/14.

Ordered base Price is $137,000 + $1175 = $138,175

New Configurator shows $140,775 - which is super strange...

how much deposit?
