Aah you're right. Forgot they switched it up soon after my last build was delivered. Nasty little trick they did there as the rebate is helpful for aftermarket mods but a drop in the bucket for anyone doing hefty mods or looking to count it towards overall price reduction.

Rebate should be more widely known as it's like leaving free money on the table.

I even asked my sales agent and he didn't know about it. Or claimed not to know.

Checked online status yesterday, and it was in Production Begins and a VIN was assigned. I hadn't checked for over a week, so not sure when it entered that status.

Seems in-line with the Sept 5-11 start date originally given... maybe a bit ahead of schedule, but this stage seems to vary wildly in terms of number it days it sits there...

Sometime today, or within the past few days, the build entered this status:



Like watching paint dry... (which was literal for a while...)

Dealer believe early October to them (New Jersey) based on their system

What build outs are done at the port? I thought by the time it reached the port it was done until the dealer did any final programming...

I have no answer for you. I’m only passing on what he was told.

Unless they're a BMW CCA member, don't expect them to know as it isn't a rebate that's applied when purchasing/leasing.

I've never seen that - only a rebate form on the BMWCCA site, which I've done multiple times in the past.

Yes, the form is via BMW CCA. Thus, don't expect a dealer to know unless they're a member and familiar with the benefits.

I see you are also pending an M850 - did you go with the B&W system? Not sure if the RAM issue is B&W only, or also for HK (I think B&W only...)

Honestly what you get wasn't worth the price (although this is subjective). Fancier lighting and better audio profile didn't really matter compared to some other stuff. Butt in seat time as drastically reduce since the pandemic and isn't changing anytime soon for me. Take the truck for further commutes and carrying passengers. HK was more than enough for my needs. Although aesthetically the B&W is beautiful especially at night.

If tune the HK just right and the right settings on your phone, it's pretty good for a standard feature.

Uhh, I’ll take that as a “no” on the B@W 🙂

I have the Harmon in my x7 and think it’s more than fine. But the 8 tester had it as well, and it didn’t sound nearly as good - had the B&W in a prior 7 and loved the sound - I’m hoping the better drives and amps and eq offset the smaller cabin limitations

yeah I guess so. Maybe on the next one though, never say never.

Keep hearing about the RAM hope two weeks is the case. Currently mines on the way to port where the real "fun" begins.

Dravit Grey on Fiona Red full leather, 19" wheels ( I prefer comfort over looks in that regard)


Will post more as it progress, and photos when I finally take delivery.
A friend of mine ordered hers from our Dealer here in NoVA back in early April, it is off the boat in Baltimore, waiting for the stop sale items to be installed, her advisor just told her expect 24 Oct delivery, so right at 6.5 months or so from order to delivery....

You will love that Dravit Grey, that is what I got in the GC and just pops in the sunlight! Enjoy

6.5 months!!! That ridiculous even by pandemic standards. Granted there's no rhyme or reason for who takes delivery first. Plenty of folks have ordered after your friend and didn't wait as long for the stop sale to be resolved. Props to your friend for waiting

Yeah, not sure why it took so long, but maybe it was because it was an M8 Vert….I ordered a '22 M3 Comp X drive two weeks ago to add to my collection, we will see how long that takes.
