My dealer also Southern California but he heard nothing

Their response

“Yes as far as we know 10/5 is the confirmed date! There was not an official release but that's what our rep told us. “

Mine is dispatched from factory. I assume I’ll have it early October. I’m in Southern California.

Ugh..hopefully same here cuz i have to take flight at 10/17 which date my dealer confirmed(

[NewToBMWinSac]

Mine had a build date of 9/19, but has been stuck at Quality Control since 9/18 which is odd. I hope everything is fine…

[puckhead85]

Mine was stuck at QC for a while but now it's still waiting for carrier assignment. When I called to inquire they are still doing inspections... I wonder if since it's the first few coming off the line they are being OCD... or just holding off until later for the "official release".

I was at my dealer a few days ago to renew the tire/wheel insurance etc and set up September 30th to pick it up judging by what was showing at the time on their end. We will see.

I don't really care I just want to know for certain what date I can pick up my car so I can schedule my PPF install. (and also write a large check )

For those of you that have hit the dispatched from factory stage, what was your production date?

I'm still having second thoughts, however. As of today, I still have not seen one in person.(let alone test drive one)

They do offer it.

Is the spare tire standard now or additional cost?

[Stockwell]

in Canada, X3 G45 standard come with "tire repair kit"... and I have to pay C$400 for Spare tire with tool setup.

I find the "tire repair kit" or a spare somewhere between an absurdity and a last-century anachronism for enough times/use cases to make them quite unacceptable as a complete solution. Imagine nightime on the side of a highway in the middle of nowhere or in an undesireable part of an urban area, in the rain/snow, when more formally attired, etc. I certainly would not want my wife sitting vulnerably in such a situation waiting for a tow truck if I was out of town. If you may be well abled, in good conditions, without an urgent schedule, in a nice area, in clothing you are ok getting soiled, by all means, fix or replace your own tire. For cars not heading to the track, I am staying with run flats, now that they ride and perform so much better than when first offered. The subtleties of non-run flat superiority experienced in normal daily street driving for errands or commuting don't come close to justifying the exposure IMHO.

[Stockwell]

Sportstick,,, I fully aware your concern! I've been very aware the value of Run Flat tires benefit from my X1 and X3 ownership. It did saved a few nail situations. BUT the ride quality, also noise level still not equivalent to standard tires. So, to choose between tire repair kit or a "REAL" spare.. I choose real spare!!!

Also, in Canada with lots of snow.. we need to switch between Summer/All Seasons tire to Winter tires.... Either swap yourself or carry it from my home to a tire shop, I still need to put those tire around and load it into my trunk.. RunFlat just weight TOOO much (heavy)!

I was told 10/5 by my dealer but not counting on it because I seem to be the only one being told 10/5.
