Why is it that there aren't any 2019's available yet? Is there too much '18 dealer stock?

From Edmunds Website:

Hi, my car is about to start production, for delivery end of January - so does that mean it will be the 2019 specification? I paid extra for these things, I wonder if the dealer will reduce the price of the car :-)

The 2019 X1 has not been introduced at auto shows yet. I expect you will get a 2018 model.

SOP for the 2019 X1 is/was 11/18. However, I have not seen a pricing or ordering guide published yet. You might want to ask the dealer what model year your vehicle will be.

Hi, the online BMW agent today said I would be getting the 2019 model. He was a bit grumpy actually and said that as it was now 2019 and the car is being built next week - why wouldn't it be the 2019? Bit rude, but I had a bit of a go back and asked him to triple check and he said it was deffo the 2019 model.

My dealer isnt working today, but I am dropping off some paperwork with him tomorrow and will double check BUT - I do know that the price I paid/will be paying incorporated the 1st January price rise. I argued that one quite a lot, but apparently its a hard and fast BMW rule that the car is the price it is on delivery and not on the date of the order ....Mmmm...

Anyway - all indications are that it will be the 2019 model

I'll report back tomorrow on what the dealer says.

I am getting VERY excited as apparently my little car is in the paint shop currently and I watched a YouTube of the paint process. How clever!!
Build starts next week and apparently it will be with the deal week 4 - thats very quick but Im not complaining

I think you'll be fine. BMW's model year change is usually late in the calendar year from memory, so features that it adds/(removes) occur in builds after around Aug-Sept. Hence, builds after that date (and sorry, don't know precisely for 2018) are referred to as 2019 MY (model year) cars, even though built in 2018

It's well-known in motoring circles that there are differences between the model year of a car, and its make year. That's why you often see 2019 MY BMW xxx versus 2019 build BMW xxx etc. A helpful BMW online agent should know all this and have taken the time to explain.

thank you for taking the time to explain that to me TTimbo, I often wondered what 'MY' stood for - but didn't like to ask as it was bound sure to be something simple and so make me look stupid

When I see the dealer later today I will ask about those things that have been added to the MY2019 - because I re-checked my invoice and I was charged for them as they were part of a package I bought.
As I managed to get a very good discount (4% more than carwow), plus top p/ex for my car, I doubt they will make any adjustment.

Thanks again.
I am getting silly excited now as, with any luck, I only have 3 weeks to wait yayyyyy...

So what did they say?

Hi, the dealer confirmed it is a MY2019 and it doesn't come with the above options included - and it isn't in the foreseeable future as he did a 'dummy' build for June and those addition/options were not showing up as included in the UK build.

The great news is though, my car is actually built and on its was to the Port! So a little ahead of time .. yayyy.
Might even get it a bit earlier too.

I'm even more excited now
