My 2020 X5 Sdrive Order and quick production!
Ordered my 2020 X5 Sdrive July 29 and went into 150 Production status next day July 30 with an Aug. 7 competition date and an expected delivery probably no later than Aug. 21
Now that's Fast. Anyone else order a new Sdrive? Last edited by rayshelbygt; 07-31-2019 at 08:55 PM.. |

I thought the 2020 GO5 ordering/pricing guides show a start of production date of August 19?

I assumed the pricing guide showing 8/19 meant August of 2019 (ie as soon August 1st). Didn't occur to me it could have been the 19th of the month. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

No... It's August 2019. If you look at the MY 2019 order guide you see SOPs of 11/18, 12/18, 4/19, etc. So it's obvious it's the year and not a date.

That's makes sense, so the 2020 production could start anytime during the month of August. But apparently they are building 2020s in July! There may be updates to the pricing/ordering guides we haven't seen.

Obviously if BMW doesn't have anymore 2019 orders, they're not going to halt production until August 2019. They'll start the 2020's as soon as the last 2019 rolls off the assembly line. |

I'm figuring the first batch of MY2020 examples is rolling off of the production line, at the latest, by this Thursday or Friday. Right from there, a vehicle should be submitted for the tests/certifications. Even if that takes one week, your dealer saying there's a possibility of delivery by Aug 14th - I am a skeptic. Even with a two day push on both ends, I'm a doubter on a delivery in your posession by Aug 16. Does anyone on here have insight to this cert/hold process for Model Year changeover with no powertrain changes? (Yes, M50 is in a different bucket here) Let's all hope I'm way way offbase, and the CARB/EPA certificates are in BMW's hands by next Monday.

Apparently EPA and CARB want to retest every model year for compliance, independent if there have been any powertrain changes. The M50i, I fully get that going through a review and hold - but for the N58's, there should be no need. It is what it is though, we're all subject to it right now. I went digging in the F15 forum for early 2015 build owners to see what their order/delivery deltas looked like - from what I could tell the EPA hold looked like 7-10 days on the high end from the end of first build week MY2015's. Who the hell knows - I can say if BMW knows as much as we know, they have no business managing their own supply chain. All of these things should be QR and instant database feed - then the online tracker would be minute by minute accurate. You'd think BMW never sold cars in the USA before, as not a single person seems to have any insight on to the expectation of hold length. I've been asking all around this forum since I pushed off my 2019 build allocation to get a 2020, but it seems largely like I'm speaking into an empty room.

It's just a fun distraction really, this obsession of tracking builds - it all matters for naught once the car is home and first thousand miles or so have passed. For me, it's just a harmless outlet for the anticipation that builds from the moment spec decisions start to come into focus. I will say that I feel like I 'care' less about the condition and preservation of such with the cars that I've bought right off the lot versus cars that I've personally specced/ordered.

My build timeline update:
Ordered my 2020 X5 July 29, dealer used first set of allocations, went into 150 Production status next day July 30 with an Aug. 7 competition date then pushed ahead to Aug. 9 today and now assembly started per Tracking status. Expected delivery sometime next week my guess Aug.14 exceeding my expectations |
