New X6 40d help!
Hi gang,
I've just found this very interesting forum about the X6 with lots of knowledgeable people so I thought you guys might be able to help me out. I have just ordered an X6 40d in Alpine White due to be delivered to the UK next month! I am so very excited but I was wondering if anyone could give me some help. I've added dealer fit square exhausts as I'm not a fan of the small round standard ones but I however could not find any information about the Angel lights! Whilst I was in Paris for the weekend I saw a brand new 5 Seres GT and it had STUNNING Zenon Angel light rings. I desperately want these on the X6 and not the yellow ones!! Unfortunately the dealer didn't seem to know anything about them so I am at a loss. If anyone could help i'd really appreciate it! Many Thanks Amy |

P.S Does anyone know if the lights are different (front and rear) on the 40d from the 35d? I know the 40d is the replacement for the 35d, just wondering if it was any different.
Thanks again. |

 Thanks for all the links Scott. haha It's funny cause I also have Space Grey. Only sad thing is I did not put my order in fast enough for leather dash.  Boo. Keep up the good work, let me know your next mod so I can copy that too. BTW what tint level are you going with? Do you install tint on top of Privacy Glass?

4 weeks is very tight but in 5 weeks It should be just about do-able!
A lot of dealers place unsold orders in safe easy to sell specifications. BMW allow spec changes until approx 1 week before build so if a customer comes along the spec can be changed up to a week before build date. Time from build to delivery in the UK (Bearing in mind all X6s are built in Spartanburg South Carolina) based on my experiences should is about 5 weeks: Build and delivery to Charleston SC - 7 Days Transatlantic Voyage to Charleston to Bremerhaven - 14 Days Delivery to UK BMW VDC (Via Either Immingham or Southampton) - 7days Vehicle Checks and VDC & Delivery to Dealer and Dealer Preparation - 7 Days So I reckon 5 weeks as a rough guide however much depends on the Transatlantic shipping dates and vessel routing. Roll on Friday ! |

Yes thats right, i'm not sure on the technical terms but the dealer had a slot reserved that was coming up the week we ordered so we took that over with our car. I was lead to believe that BMW are not building any new X6 40d's until September for the UK so if we ordered from new without finding a dealer slot we would have to wait 4 months! Its due middle of June and we ordered 1st week of May so that will be about 5 weeks I guess, we haven't got a delivery date as yet. We have been told that she's built and sprayed already!! |

Hi,
Just had a call from the dealer and the car is here! I would imagine the dealer will have to carry out safety and quality control checks, clean and prepare the vehicle, Register the Vehicle and Transfer my Private plates etc. This will probably take a couple of days. I am going over to the dealership tomorrow to have a look at her. Hope the weather will improved for the weekend! Anyway here Is my Spec for those that missed it previously: Here is my Spec Vehicle FH02 E71 X6 xDrive40d N57 3.0 475 Black Sapphire NASW Black Exclusive Nappa leather Options 330 Dynamic package 2SK Star Spoke Style 259 10/11Jx20 456 Comfort seats, front 760 Exterior trim, High-gloss Shadow line 775 Headlining, Anthracite ZXB Media package 609 Navigation-system Professional 612 BMW Assist 616 BMW Assist online portal 633 Bluetooth phone prep + telematics 654 DAB digital radio 6FL USB interface 248 Steering wheel heating 319 Universal Remote Control 322 Comfort Access 323 Soft-close doors 328 Running boards, aluminium 3AH Reversing Assist camera with Top View 430 Ext. mirrors - folding, auto dimming 488 Lumbar support, driver and front pass. 493 Extended storage 494 Seat heating, front 4AD Brushed Aluminium Trim 4UP Adaptive Fixing System 524 Adaptive Headlights 536 Auxiliary heating with remote control 5AC High-beam Assistant 5DF Active cruise control + Stop&Go function 610 Head-up Display 620 Voice Control 677 Loudspeaker system - LOGIC7 Professional 761 Sun protection glass 8TH Speed limit display 601 TV Function I originally had the roof rails but deleted them as I decided that I prefer the clean roofline look (More Coupe than SUV) I also deleted 5DK Side-view cameras As it is not available until build week 24 ( I did not want to wait another 10 weeks for side view cameras)  |

Yes, Vey black.
It will be fun to keep clean! I was not brave enough to go for a bright coloured leather plus I wanted the soft Nappa leather which really restricts colour choice to Black and Beige ( If you stay away from Individual leather). Not keen on beige ( but each to thir own - Colour is a very personal thing especially on the inside of the car). I could have been tempted with oyster but it was not available in Nappa. I think the black leather looks great with the brushed aluminium trim as the Silver metal in the trim breaks up the black very nicely. Off to the dealer now - will take some pics. |
