Congrats! I ordered mine 3/23, and my production began yesterday as well. I bet we have close VIN's...

Looks like a great build.

I didn't go for the dynamic handling package. I chose to have premium sound in stead. I'm a sucker for good music.

Not unheard of to get between 7-10% off MSRP. Too many variables to list, but seems to bet the avg across the boards

I got about 7 and had to push for every bit. Dealers here in FL don't want to deal. And the M550i is rare around here so few allocations.

But I'm happy with what I got. Now just waiting for it to arrive. Production began yesterday so hopefully it'll move quickly from now on.

I have seen few cars on the road with European license plates in the front. Do they have any relation to special ordering the car?

Congrats. Looks like a solid build!

They probably did European delivery and kept their plates before coming home. There's an OG X3 that has Euro front plates at my work.

I had a guest from Germany stay at our AirBnB and he brought me a real plate. You can also get ones that look exactly like the Euro ones with stickers and all on eBay. I'm torn between using the real one he got me or getting a repro one with an M first letter, designating Munich, home of BMW.

Also have to figure how to mount on the front without drilling... But I do like the look of it....

I ordered mine on 03/29. My dealership told me that they were able to secure a modifiable build for me cutting down 1 week of time.

My status changed to "Production Begins" on 04/04.

Are VIN#s given out in serial order or by a random number generator?
