Yup, looks like training webinars have started.

Which models? Only i5?

CaboM4 · 05-17-2023, 05:34 PM

I asked my dealer, he told me that pre orders will open at 8 am May 24 in the BMW website, they will be handled like the I4. Place order and deposit trough BMW and select a dealer, after the bad experience with I4 orders I expected a different method, but we will find out on the 24 th

What are going for or do you just want a slot/allocation to allow you to decide a bit later?

What models are ready for pre-order?

Seems like the vehicle will be unveiled the day before in continental US time zone.

Awesome!

What pricing are you getting from the dealer? MSRP or it’s basically up in the air at this point?

Can you withdraw your pre-order and get deposit back if the delay is too long?

TCBavarian · 05-24-2023, 10:05 PM

Pre-Order placed around 8:05am. M60

Order bank is open and my dealer is asking for my build. Have been driving all day but need to see if pricing is out. I have all the packages and options though.

Did your SA share the order guide with you? If yes do you mind sharing with us?

I placed the order at 8:03am and my number is ~9,250. I wonder if it starts from 9,000. My SA has not reached out to me yet.

Edit: M60

No ordering guide. Just order bank options.

This is great. Really appreciate it!

Seems no sophisto grey or cape york green as color options. That helps me narrow down color options to fire red or phytonic blue.

I really wish prices were available. Hard to make these decisions.

True. Someone said BYO will be available on 6/20 so it's just one more month to go :-)

according to that snapshot, there is room to scroll down more. so it might just be hidden. additionally i think fire red is coming out later in the year?

and sophisto grey is dark graphite metallic here in the states which is listed in the picture.
