[jeremydb212]

So I must be the weird guy... I like the badging on the BMW's now. Dont yell, I did admint I am the weird one.

Scott - can you post a picture of the clear side markers. Would like to see if that is a change I should make or not. Did they mention in the factory tour if the performance upgrade is an aftermarket kit also? I didnt have the option at build time to get that put on mine.

I am pretty sure it is a dealer "accessory" for 2011 ...

For sure I like them way better than the 2010's IMO. Deadly.

Agreed! I definitely think they look better than the 259's.

The (new) 335's and the (y-spoke) 214's are the best for the X6 ... IMO

WOW, those rims are sexy! Great looking car!

Thanks RAC10000. I will press the dealer further when the car arrives. He knows nothing of them.

I guess I am hoping that my dealer is right on the week. :-) If/When I get a build date, I will reply back so that we can build anticipation together. If you get a build date before me, be sure to let me know so that I can call to replace your build... err... congratulate you! HA!

I just put in my order though on April 22nd so you have a much better shot at an early build date. I wonder if they do all X6 one week and then X5 or if they build mixed on the line... would be good to know.

As I was just literally just in the factory during my performance pickup I can tell you definitively both X6 and X5 are made together on the same lines. I took a 2hr+ tour and saw both being built. the factory is amazing to see. the robot are so cool, as I watching the robots doing their dance i couldn't help but think terminator and skynet.

If you don't mind saying, what date was your order placed for your new X6? Did you get confirmation that you X6 will be in production next week?

I ask because I ordered my new 2011 X6 5.0 on 4/03/2010, which was a modification of a car that my dealer had on order (we were able to make adjustments even though it was in 112 status). I spoke with Customer Service earlier this week and I was told that my X6 is scheduled for production but no actual production date.

LCann - I just called the 1-800 number and they said my car is in production. It has an estimated completion date of May 5th! You should call and see if there is an update on yours. About 2 hours ago it still said it was unscheduled.

Scott - Those are great. Where did you get them if you don't mind me asking. Might just do that to mine. I would like to look to see how it will look against the alpine white. Thanks for the pictures. Looks amazing.

Sick ride BTW, Tint that biotch and debadge.
When I see a well executed X6 on the road I am amazed at how Sweet they are...especially compared to "Normal" ones

I totally agree! Too many stinking badges! Sweet ride though! Congratulations on a awesome ride! Enjoy........

Congrasts man..nice pics..for every 100km how many liters it needs?

[bavarian19]

nice!

[madentx]

OMG!! Awesome!!! Space Age Grey rocks!!!

Performance Center? Is that the SC plant? I'm tracking my 2011 X5 5.0 ordered 4/15 and it says it's at the performance center-how long until it arrives at the dealer in Colo???

[LCannonX62011]

Madentx,

Your car ordered 4/15/2011 is ready for Shipment?

That's amazingly fast for production!

[madentx]

I know-my CA said 6 weeks. When I checked on 4/25, it was still "on order". But now the website shows the car at the performance center. Too good to be true??

[LCannonX62011]

You may want to check with your CA, since they have an online system that Customers can't use ("Dealer Speed"). This way you can confirm what your seeing online!

[LCannonX62011]

Batke,

Any update on your production and shipment dates?
