Wait Time for BMW Individual
Ordered a 550i with Individual interior (leather and trim) this past weekend. Was told by the dealer that it would probably take ~ 6 weeks for the car to start production given the Individual interior and then another 3 months for production and shipping.
Can anyone tell me if these durations sound reasonable based on your experience? Last edited by drlonline; 11-10-2014 at 04:29 PM.. |

The OP's situation may require a larger car than the M4, kids traveling in the back, or maybe they just LIKE the 550i better... they're two VERY different cars. Your statement is like saying, "you should have bought a house-boat instead of a condo" - the M4 isn't being cross-shopped by most people considering a 550.

Waited 8 Months for a 3 Series with Individual paint and the factory is only 1,5 hours away from here, so no shipping lag involved.
They do them in batches, so you could be lucky and get it quicker or just miss the batch and have to wait till the next. The build time is the regular 2 to 3 days depending on the hold time in the factory buffers.

Honestly the MSport gives you the black anthracite headliner and Nappa leather. Paying a huge premium for a different color this or that is silly. I mean after a month or two its just a car for the next 3 years. |

It wasnt the wood... it was just ANY individual upgrade. I'm picking up my car tomorrow, in the sleet and snow. I'm thinking this is going to be a really nice call. Time will tell.....

As for the convertible itself; it's sporty and fun but not for me. Coming from an '12 F10 there is a noticeable difference in quality of materials and the ride. This isn't really a surprise, they're very different cars. But for the same money (in my case both cars were within $500), I enjoyed the F10 more day to day. I swamped the wheels and trim in the F33 and I get a lot of attention. I feel its too flashy and its not really what I was going for. The F10 got a lot of attention too but in a different way. 9/10 times when I valeted my F10 it was parked out front. It was a 528 and not particularity expensive by any means but it had a classic luxury look. This doesn't happen with the F33 but instead the attention comes from driving it. I get a lot of looks driving top down. Yeah a lot of time it's dudes but also a noticeable increase in ladies looking over For me... right now... I don't need that and I don't need flashy. At the end of the day it comes down to driving experience and for me the F10 was more comfortable and less effort to enjoy. The F33 is a very good car but I think the F10 is a great one. |
