2015 M5 Ordered

After thorough research on this Board, I found a replacement for my 2012 e93 M3. I ordered a 2015 M5. Specs are as follows:

- MCB
- Full Silverstone Leather
- ZCP w/ Black 343's
- Enhanced USB
- M Performance Pedals
- M Performance Black Grills
- M Performance Exhaust w/ CF tips

Very excited! Production is not until the the third week of January so now the long wait begins.

Anyone know roughly how long it takes to arrive on the West Coast after production is completed?

plan abt sixx weeks after production starts....i ordered mine with production starting on October 24th.....it arrived at Port Hueneme(sp) on december 2nd. i picked it up at the dealer on the 12th. So plan on at least 6 weeks from beginning of production (which takes a week in and of itself) and then about another 3 weeks at least to ship it and about a week after it arrives. the waiting is a killer ....

production build dates are just estimates. Your car can go into production earlier or later then the date supplied by BMW.

Once the car starts production you are looking at 6-8 weeks till it hits your dealer.

Thanks!

BTW, I would have liked to buy from Steve Thomas but the allocation timing didn't work out. Maybe next time; you guys did a great job with my M3.

I just noticed on MyBMW tracking that my car is now showing as Production Started. Does that mean what it says, or is production still a couple weeks away? The website does not seem very accurate, which is why I ask.

Call BMW Tracking at 800-831-1117. You need your production number. They will tell you when production starts and when it is expected to end.

Congrats !! Build looks sharp

This was my timeline for a baseline:

Week 35 production date ( Aug. 25-31 )
Sept. 4 – Finished Production
Sept . 8 – Awaiting Carrier
Sept. 12 – Left Port (Themis Leader) ETA (10/10)
Oct. 9 – Arrived Port Hueneme

The exhaust gets better with age...

I did and it indeed has entered production. Better details through the telephone than online. Thanks!!

So, it looks like about 4-5 weeks to port and then another week to the dealer?

Congratulations on your new car, very nice color combo! And good to hear you are one of those who doesn't have to wait too long. I ordered mine last Oct with a tentative Dec build date because of the dealer allocation I was told. Then Jan build and I just found out yesterday it's pushed to Feb. Not sure what the reason is, perhaps because I ordered an individual color. But, not happy.

Talking Awesome!

Very nice setup! Please post some pic of the M Performance Exhaust fitted with the CF Tips. I'm looking forward to get a MPE but I'm still not sure which Tips I should get

Thanks, I just copied the combo from the Auto Show when I fell in love a few years back.

In terms of your delays, did your SA provide a reason? Your dealership might be giving up your allocation.

They assured me that they didn't give up my allocation, but who knows. They do not sell many M5s here I know that. I am coming off a lease and they gambled/guessed that BMW would have a pull-ahead program and it looks like they don't for any M's as of the Jan 1 bulletin. I think, but don't know that that played a role. I was told today by my CA that they traded an allocation with some west coast dealer and my car is supposedly going into production. We'll see, no production number yet.

How do you get the black kidneys as part of the order? I'm asking because the dealer doesn't have a list of parts to upgrade. Neither does the website.

Those are M Performance parts. They are installed at the port, and possibly by the dealer as well. But not at the factory.

Your dealer should have information on the available MP parts. If not, check here:
