"I just confirmed with my production manager that if you place an order now, it will be a 2014 build."
Correct and good luck with your order. Please post your order so I(we) and see it.

Love your spec that will be an awesome car, you will love the MFID - it amuses me for hours and I love the way in normal mode it goes from white to orange automatically at dusk. Thought they might add more customisation at the LCI but great as is.

Very nice config... My first choice was AW/Cinnamon, but no can do in MY14, then thought AW/Mocha, but finally settled on CB/Black/Aluminum Hex....Florida summers will be awesome with that combo.

When are you scheduled? We're picking up on Sept 13 @ 10:30.

Regards,

Thanks. I hope it turns out to be a good combination.

Unfortunately, the US 2014 5 series sedan does not have the option for the MFID. The GT does but not the sedan. I actually held out a year due to the rumors that the 2014 sedan would come with the MFID just to be disappointed. Very jealous that everyone else but the US has it! Another option I wanted was the Black Sapphire Metallic but you can't order it with the M Sport option. Not sure thy would not allow that combination. I had to opp for the Jet Black.

Guys when you placed order did you work out the # of the deal or that's when it arrives? $500 deposit to order?

Worked out every single detail. Only thing missing was Money factors and residuals just because they're not available yet.

But you need to settle on a price and other fees before committing.

Put in my order this morning for:

2014 550i
Dark Graphite
Venetian Beige Dakota Leather (with "exclusive stitching," whatever that means)
M Sport Package
Cold Weather Package
Driver Assistance Plus
Dynamic Handling Package
Executive Package
LED Lighting Package
Luxury Seating Package

I entered my production number on the BMW website and it says it's Jet Black--does anyone know if that's normal before they actually start building the car? I did a quick search but I didn't find another forum with someone freaking out that the color was listed wrong, although there's plenty out there saying that the website isn't very reliable.

request a copy of the build sheet from your CA. You want to make sure the order's right before it enters production. Once it goes status 150, no changes are allowed.

Thanks skillet. I have the build sheet (the one that only lists MSRP, he wouldn't give me the one with the invoice pricing on it, although I did get to check it over) and it clearly lists graphite, so hopefully I'm in the clear.

Web site always shows wrong color on the beginning. Don’t worry!

Brooksley: The dealer said it takes a couple of weeks before the correct options show up. I ordered Jet Black and it showed Dark Graphite under my production number.

You're seeing the Dealer allocated vehicle. The color will change when your car goes into production. Also, once in production the website is typically at least a day behind the toll free status number. One would think a state of the art factory like Dingolfing could give real time status, but that's not the case.

Thanks all, that's reassuring. I'm looking forward to two or so months of checking the website and seeing no updates.

BTW I just got confirmation yesterday that if you order any of the Lines (M Sport Modern...) Napa leather is no cost option. Unfortunately Black Napa is not available with M sport, so I have to go with Dakota.

Yep, I really wanted Blank Nappa and could not get it so I picked the Ivory White. The M Sport only offers 2 Dakota colors and 2 Nappa color options. Best thing about a BMW, its hard to go wrong with any of the options. Your car will be fantastic with the options you selected!!

My order now says it's in production and has the correct colors showing. Production doesn't start until 7/2 so i expect it to stay in that status for a while.

I submitted my $5K deposit and order with the dealer June 1 for a 2014 535ix with the following options listed on my build sheet:

416 - Carbon Black Metallic
LCLZ - Black Dakota Leather
4MR - Aluminum Hexagon Trim
453 - Ventilated Seats
Z5J - M Sport Package
Z5D - Premium Package
Z5F - Technology Package
688 - Harman/Kardon Sound

I'm still waiting for confirmation for my order and a delivery date. Can someone please share experience with the order process? Once my order is submitted to BMW, what information should I expect from my Canadian dealer? I don't even have a delivery date. When do orders typically get submitted/accepted?

Interior Seating - what's the consensus out there? Dakota or Nappa Leather? Can someone please share pros and cons. It seems like I have an option to go nappa leather with no extra cost since it's part of the premium package, but then again not sure whether this is true as I also order ventilated seats.

Here's my order:

550i Sedan
Jet Black
Ivory White Nappa Leather w/ Black Dashboard
Anthracite Wood Trim
M-Sport
19" 351M Performance Tires
Exec Package
Cold Weather Package
Lighting Package
Parking Assistant
Side and top view cameras

I'm hoping i didn't mess up by getting Jet Black. It should look great but it's going to show scratches more then the Metallic. I wanted the Black Metallic but it wasn't offered with the m sport package.

Production starts 7/2 but you can follow it on the BMW website. Get the production number from your dealer and create an account at MyBMW on the BMW website. You can follow it through delivery.

Nappa verses Dakota? Its totally a buyers preference. Nappa has a smoother feel to it. With the m sport package, you cannot order black nappa seats anymore. Therefore, the color drives your decision on Dakota or Nappa. If you want black or Beige color, you have to go with Dakota. If you want Ivory white or Mocha, you have to go with Nappa.
