Smile Ordered: Azurite Black w/Silverstone Ext

I've been forum lurking for awhile now and reading all about this fantastic car.

Tonight I pulled the trigger!!!http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/ima.../happyanim.gif

Here's my build:
XM5 M
S34 - Azurite Black
LKA - Silverstone Ext Merino
4CV - Fineline Oak Wood Trim
ZPP - Premium Package
ZTO - Connected Drive Services
5DP - Park Assistant
6NS - Convenience Telephony w/...

Dealer says May production and mid June delivery!

Here are some ramblings of my journey thus far:

Spartenburg delivery is not available for Canadian cars

6WB is not available

Production tracking is not available (updates are only available via dealer)

Added 2yrs/120,000Km extended warranty - Dealer claims this is a carbon copy of original factory warranty $4,899

Added Appearance Protection (6yr/200,00Km) (Siliverstone and PDR protection)$1,150

Managed a measly 3% off list. http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/ima...ilies/sigh.gif

No ability to test drive anywhere in my area

This forum provided the order guide, a sense of pricing discounts and invaluable product detail.

Thank you all!

Fantastic order. Congratulations!

If it were me though, I'd add that little bit more and go to the "Full" silverstone interior. It makes all the difference in the world to the feel of the cabin....

Thanks alistairg. Full leather is 5K and would knock out the extended warranty for me to be able to attain.

The preproduction torture of rethinking about option changes has already began!

My doubt at the moment is dropping the fineline for piano black trim at an additional 1K.

Congrats!!
Where did you buy it? I live in Toronto but I bought mine at BMW Sainte Catherine : better service and better prices than dealers from Toronto

When I buy it, there was no drive test possible but yesterday my dealer called me and they have just received their HEA.

I will test this Friday morning and I'll change my M5's tires at the same time

Congrats!! Beautiful color combo. IMHO, personally I would consider CF interior trim as opposed to "Fineline Oak Wood Trim", it blends better with Silverstone interior and more exclusive. Regardless, it will be an awesome ride, can't wait to see the pics

Congratulations on your order

3% off for a new model is pretty good in Canada since the dealer made 8% on the last generation of X5M.

Is it an X6M or X5M?

$4899 for 2 yrs/120km (100k) extended warranty is WAY TOO MUCH. save the money and use it for potential repairs that should not occur during that short time span.

I'm weary with repairs and this is my first M car. I don't know what to expect post 4 yrs and have been saved by CPO warranty in the past. New crated engine in my 2001 E38 10 days prior to CPO expiration made me a believer!

This car isn't getting flipped in a couple of year. I plan for us to be in a long relationship for at least 6 yrs until we separate.

As an alternative to extended warranty I'm now thinking of putting those funds towards Full Silverstone and engaging the dealer to CPO the car post 36 months.

Has anyone had any experience adding CPO warranty prior to new car warranty expiration?

Purchased at Parkview BMW. I had my 2001 E38 serviced there and was happy. Town & Country BMW serviced my 2007 E65 and I was okay with them as well. Wanted a dealer close to home.

Did you swing a deal better than 3% off list? PM if you like.

I got $3600 off on MSRP and the best trade for my M5 and X3 ($100 000).

Before to sign, I asked few quotes from others BMW (Toronto, Mississauga, Oakville etc.) and BMW Sainte Catherine was the best Deal.

Here's the modified build that went in tonight.

F85 - XM5 M
S34 - Azurite Black
LKA - Silverstone Full Merino
4MC - Carbon Fibre Trim
ZPP - Premium Package
ZTO - Connected Drive Services
6NS - Convenience Telephony w/...

The Premium Package adds 776 Anthracite Alcantara Roofliner over the standard Roofliner 775 Anthracite Roofliner

I've asked to swap Alacantara 776 with the standard 775 roofliner.

Any opinions on what they'll say?
