Ordered! 2016 Individual M5 ED // Questions
After literally more than a year of lurking in the boards and learning from you guys, researching, planning (and day dreaming!) I finally signed by buyer's order sheet and locked in my build!!
Here are my build details: 2016 F10 M5 Individual in Frozen Cashmere Silver Metallic European Delivery date TBD (requested Oct 2015). Amaro Brown Full Leather with White Contrast Stitching. Headliner in Upholstery color. Piano Black trim. Competition Package. Drivers' Assistance Plus. Executive Package. B & O Sound. Now, for some questions: 1. When is the deadline for making changes to the build? I believe the window closes once the car hits status 150 (Production Started), correct? My CA doesnt seem to know this fact and I wanna confirm. 2. I requested the car to be fitted with Michelin PSS tires but its not stated anywhere in the order sheet. Can I absolutely request Michelin PSS instead of P-Zeros? 3. How soon after the order hits 111 status do I get my ED date? I wanna make sure I get my first choice Ed date. I emailed BMWEuropeanDelivery@bmwna.com and they said they should have an answer next week. Thanks as always! Folks on this forum have enabled me to feel confident about my build and ordering process! f.

1. I think it's a decent amount before 150 with an individual car, with a non individual car it can pretty much be changed until the last second. On my last individual order I needed to make a change and I had to get a new allocation slot to do it even though the car wasn't in production yet. That change added another month to the order.
2. no clue 3. I got my ED date confirmed the day of or day after 111 status, but it took 2 months to get to 111. I am guessing Sabrina.Knudsen@bmwnaext.com replied to you, she is great to work with. I will be picking mine up September 8th, my first ED as well. I was annoyed at first since it took 2 months to get a date. But now it seems to be smooth sailing. |

Sorry, cant help on your questions but that's definitely a tasteful build. I also have the Amaro Brown Leather (with matching headliner but no contrast stitching) and Piano Black Trim too. Like many here say, the wait will be the worst part but worth it in the end.

2. Good luck with PSS. Those are hard tires to come by. I have P Zero's on my car and they are fine. I haven't driven her hard yet, and they have been just fine. 3. I have no idea about codes. Online I could never see codes, and when I called BMWNA, they didn't know codes either. You will get your ED date soon my friend!

My delivery person said that M Studio tour can be arranged. I was returning my car next day and really wanted to put in some miles then watch a studio. Look around on forums. You may be able to pre-arrange it prior to taking delivery. Take plenty of pics, and hopefully you get to drive a decent bit!

Great build. Definitely jealous of the interior.
Are you ordering mods yet?

After more than 7 weeks from placing order to today, I finally got my confirmed ED pickup date ---> Oct 10 2015. My first choice date!
The approval from BMWAG took longer than usual due to some customizations... Either way - happy day! :-) f.

Congrats! At least we know they are consistent with the individual orders. I placed an order right around a month before you, and my ED is a month before yours.

Congrats to you as well! Cant wait to see pics of your car. Dunno why it took so long - I guess they must be getting a lot of requests for individuals these days and they're backed up. I think they hate me by now because I kept emailing them for updates. ;-) f.

Yep. $5000, which is normal for individual cars. Usually its $1000. I didnt mind since it was refundable and hey, I got some extra Amex Platinum points. ;-) f.
