I did not get to pick up my 550e yesterday as it did not arrive in time to give it 95-100% charge. I did have them do ceramic inside and out today before pick up. $1,100 is a bit pricy but don't want to deal with taking it somewhere else at this point. This is the first 550e in this dealership, my SA said it looks pretty impressive in the showroom... I told him to keep the fingerprints off it

I too have been sitting and waiting. Welcome to the party!🎉 After 8 weeks in QC, I have been awaiting carrier assignment for over 2 weeks. I called the Genius line and discovered that a carrier has been assigned but the car has not been transported to the carrier.

So, I was released to the trucking carrier on Saturday. However, according to the Genius, they haven't picked up my car yet.

I'm only 7 hrs from the port, can I drive it home myself? Haha.....

Another update - A peek using the "Chrome trick" a few days ago showed a build date of 11-21 (tomorrow), but I just checked today and I've already moved through 150, 151, and 152 and on to 153!

Model of G60 You Ordered: 540i
Date of Order: 11/2/24
Date VIN assigned: 11/6/2024
Production week assigned: 47
Production started: 11/20/24 (or perhaps a day or two earlier)

Current Status on myBMW: "Entering Assembly Line" (as of 11/20/24)

Awesome news! Love the color too. 4NB has to look better than the hotdog holder. Can you take some pics of it later after you take it home?

Today was raining, plus all protective stuff still on car.

I did get to drive around the block, no electric charge, but B58 has a fantastic sound. We did all the paperwork today. The car is showing in my app. They must have put it on the charger - showing 87% charged and 37 mi range. I'm sure that is not accurate, but gives an idea.

PU on Friday, so probably more pics over the weekend.


BTW, anyone know how to turn the photo?
