Looking at you pictures, I wonder if this means the US will get the side M badging after all…..

That is a Sharp looking car. Even though it shows the fender badges, they won't come on the car (USA). You can order them and apply them yourself though, or have the dealer do it like I am, if it's important to you.

She hit "quality check" this morning. I am thinking a September delivery is very possible. Who wants to share a ship?!

seems a bit long to expect delivery in 4-5 months. I'd assume 6-8 weeks tops. Saw your last post stating it's already in quality check, that sounds about right. Waiting for my status to even change to production started, been stuck on order received for 2 weeks now....

this is my 5th BMW I've ordered: avg delivery time for me in the past has been what I stated above.

Individual paint so I was told I have a week 43 delivery…..We will see.

She has left the building!!🎉

[MongoTom]

Congrats!
Mine is at Quality Check now, so I expect it will leave on Tuesday or Wednesday.

[Ever Green]

We may be on the same boat!

My Carbon Black over espresso is due for Wk 36 build and WK 39 delivery to the UK.

Please post photos of the espresso interior when it arrives, it is the only piece I haven't seen. I have watched as many photos and as seen as many photos of people on this forum have helpfully shared, but more cant hurt

From what I can tell and I hope the configurator does not do this interior justice and it has potential to be slept on...

We’re picking up ours at the Performance Center in SC.

You will have a blast!! I've done a couple of deliveries at the PC. Also, I think they do an amazing job prepping the vehicle.

I was told the 550e can’t be picked up at the performance center. Did things change?

[MongoTom]

Why not? I’ll ask my dealer about that. This has been the plan from the get go.

She made it to the port! Would that mean she is assigned a ship?

No. Technically, yes, but the ship might not get to port for a week. You won’t know until your car is actually loaded onto the ship.

This is incorrect. I emailed the PC and our delivery is on their list. They are accepting 550e deliveries at the PC!

Glad it worked out for you. Perhaps this is a recent change……I’ll be taking advantage of the driving school in Thermal so looking forward to that.

From the Performance Center as of today....Apparently my CA was mistaken previously:

For a brief period in late 2023, it was true that imported vehicles were not eligible for Performance Center Delivery. Eligibility for imported models for our program resumed in late January 2024 and remains open. An internal bulletin was sent out to the retail centers informing of the change in late January 2024. We are happy to say that all BMW models (except the CS, unfortunately) are eligible once again.

Well I've hit status 111 - Order Accepted at AG for my individual color. Looks like I'm on track for production the week of Oct. 20.

[aherman18]

My 550e is finally in quality control.

Anyone with a 550e order actually on a boat to the US?

Thanks.

[Ever Green]

Mine went to in transit today.. assuming means it's on a ship!
