Congrats, about to bite the bullet on a X6M

are there any significant changes for the 2010->2011 X6M?

My X6 is "on the rail" and supposed to be here May 17. It has to ride a train to Calgary, Alberta. Then a 3 hour truck trip to Edmonton, Alberta. It was loaded on the train April 29. I hope it does not really take 17 days to train from SC to Calgary, Alberta. Does that make any sense?

Hey Scott,
Your car looks great. I am picking my 35i next week at the pc. Can you post a pic of the whole front of your car so I can look the euro side markers as it blends with the entire car.
Thanks

Scott. Congrats on the new ride. Can you tell me where you purchase the clear side markers? Is it possible for you to link their website? How did you install? Easy? Thanks Scott.

installing the side markers is dead simple. took all of 5 min at most. use dental floss and slide into gap where the metal clip is located and pull clip with floss carefully, use the new markers as a guide.

Actually, this does make sense. Rails can be very slow, especially sense BMWUSA is likely partially loading up a single train car. Typical US trucks would not make runs to Edmonton, so international rail (this would involve Canadian Customs) does take this long. I know the anticipation is killing you!! What was the date of your original car order?

Thx Jeremy!

I checked the 1800 number and received an update that my vehicle is in production with a scheduled completion date of 5/7/2011!! Now I'm getting excited! Unfortunately, I didn't take advantage of the Performance Ctr delivery option. I will next time God willing!!

Woo! That is great news!!

Until I read this forum I didn't know there was an option to pick it up there. I agree with you and all goes well I will do it next time!! But, I will give me dealer a hard time for not suggesting it

I am not sure of the exact date because I had originally ordered a 2010 35i then I changed it in Feb. I will just have to be patient.

New X6 Arrived Today!

What torture, it arrived on the truck today, but service is closed and it cant be prepped until Monday! Oh well, just adds to the anticipation. If anyone wants to see the color combo:
Alpine White
Oyster Nevada
Aluminum Trim

I can upload pictures for you this week.

She is Here!

All - It arrived today and I wanted to share a bit of good news and a few pictures. In looking at the window sticker they are now giving the 50i an EPA rating of 14/20. Compared to the 13/18 on the 2010 that is great news! (Sorry if someone else already posted this)

Here are a few pics of the Alpine White / Oyster Nevada / Aluminum.
