How long does the X5M take usually to get delivered?

Hey hows it going just wondering how long it took for most people near nyc to get the car delivered, i would think since the factory is in south Carolina it would not take anywhere that long? Thanks.

Ordered mine in bay ridge Brooklyn on May 22nd and received it June 28th. The process in south Carolina is quick, its the transit and prep that takes the better part of the time..

Congrats man. i would have had it a week earlier, but life quality started using a different transportation company via train and at one point they had no idea where it was. At least thats what they told me.. scary.

Who doesn't hate waiting, although I'm not getting an M, mine is scheduled for production as well... But, the good thing is, when it's delivered, we'll both have a huge smile on our faces at our respective dealership(s)...

Didn't actually get a production date, just an update on bmwusa.com.

Ordered Car on July 2nd
Scheduled for Production July 12 (10 days)

Our Cars are probably on the same line, just they are going to drop the 4.4TT in yours, and a 3.5T in mine

Have you ever taken the factory tour? It's cool to watch "just in time" manufacturing at work. X5's, X6's, base & Ms, US, export, LHD & RHD follow along one behind another. All parts for the cars coming down the line are delivered to each station just in time. The right radio, color of wood, seats, options, everything for each specific order. Each part has a bar code and a computerized "build sheet" is scanned to confirm the correct part prior to installation. They build 600+ vehicles daily in two 10 hr shifts. That's one every 2 minutes, or 200,000 world wide per year. It takes 3 days start to finish, including body & frame assembly, paint, dry time, drivetrain marriage, final assembly, and check out.

Does not take long to build the car but the wait time to get a date for production seems to be the longest part.

Monday, done by Wednesday/Thursday, then probably take another week/week and a half to get the car up to NY, then probably another half a week to the dealer, so, 2-3 weeks before delivery... Rough estimate...

Yea if it actually goes to production on Monday that is, hope dealer knows for sure. Also how come it takes a week to get the car to nyc from SC, it's like a day drive at most.

Like I said, Rough Estimate...

Monday - Thursday (Next week) : Production
Friday & Monday (beginning of 2nd Week) : Quality Control (testing)
Tuesday : Get the batch of vehicles ready for shipping
Wednesday : Load the vehicles for shipping
Thursday : Ship the vehicles out
Friday & Monday (beginning of 3rd week): Vehicles arrive, offloaded, inspected, etc...
Tuesday - Friday : Vehicles are picked up / delivered to their respective dealerships
Monday - Friday (4th week) Vehicles are picked up by customers

OF course my weeks may be way off, and I said it's a rough estimate, but figure its going to be something like the above...

Any idea on how many X5M's they're going to produce in 2011?
I heard a figure of 175 units made in 2010.

No idea but if 175 would be pretty exclusive, btw even bmwusa.com has it scheduled for production now with the right colors. Hope yours is on the line also army.
