I'm curious, did the dealer tell you that the Apple CarPlay is free?

Everyone seems to be ordering M50s..am I the only lone 30

What was everyone looking besides the X3. I was looking the X1 M35. For 60k it didn't seem like a good value and small. What killed it for me was the transmission and no I drive. It was peppy but I thought I was small. Ive always like the x3 size, (almost got an x3m but wasn't happy with ride - night and day between the x3m/x5m) not too happy the increase but it only an inch from what gathered.

How much are people paying % over/under MSRP? Before incentives.

I was quoted MSRP, no flexibility in pricing at all

Obviously discounts vary by dealer, timing etc. but here are your targets by region. This is what Next Level Auto Brokers has been seeing.

6% west coast
7-8% east coast
5% south
5% midwest

I put my order in the beginning of the month, current status is scheduled for production. How do you see the week it's been scheduled for?

Give Genius a call and they can tell you. Once you hit Production Begins then you can use the "F12" process to get your production date.

FWIW been seeing some “in transit” 2025 X3s start showing up at a number of dealers around Chicagoland. Called a few and they all said they expect them in around 2 weeks.

Looking forward to being able to test drive one soon!

[MidnightLight]

Yep, same here in the San Francisco Bay Area. The dealers all seem to have a few G45s in transit.

I think, Stevens Creek BMW may have 1 for demo by mid Sept.

[ptomula]

What is the official date of release in US?
For Europe it's 30.11 - that said, there is no chance to test drive nor pick the car up from the dealer before this date.
Some G45's are already in transit to Europe and will most likely await ~2months to be delivered to the end customers cause of the 30.11 release date

I'm curious about matte PPF on arctic race blue.

I'm in the same boat (arctic race blue), and still deciding on PPF (whether to go for it or not). I imagine matte would definitely look amazing on the gray colors (esp skyscraper). but wondering if you happen to have any links/pics of matte on arctic race blue?

There is unfortunately no skyscraper grey on the M50. I would bet this is because skyscraper+stealth PPF is absolutely the same effect as the frozen Gray they sell for a price premium lol. Definitely interesting to see how stealth ppf looks on arctic race blue !

[PeteLee]

Excited, mine just hit the status 150 production begins with a Vin and Prod Date of 9/15. I got that by using Come and the plugin. Does the F12 show more data? If so, I couldn't seem to get it to work. Is the Prod Date the day it starts actual production or finishes?

[puckhead85]

My 30 has entered production and I got my vin #!!!

Unfortunately, I searched high and low but couldn't find any pictures of arctic race blue with matte ppf. The closest thing I found was Portimao Blue with matte ppf. Once I get it done, I will post some pics but it won't be for a while. Apparently it's a 2-3 weeks process to get the car wrapped so I am looking at November probably when I will finally drive the car.
