Nice, yeh you’ll have one of the very last . I got one of the very last in the U.K.
Cant be more pleased with it Very nice spec , just about everything on there. You’ll get the enhanced autonomous features in the USA the extended traffic jam which we don’t get in the U.K. due to presumably regulations Stunning colour Now the hard part, waiting for it! |

That's my color! Aventurin Red, that's what I want!!!!!
My dealer, just this past weekend, said that I could not order a G30, that the books were closed, so you are not only lucky but incredibly lucky. Congrats!

I got mine after it had been discontinued in the U.K. and I ended up with an allocation originally bmw them selves
Apparently they keep a few back at the end for staff should they want to buy one . But yeh I think this is the last month they are actually making them One of thei best in my opinion |

Nice. So actually from ordering to delivery should be about as short as it can be.
Other than m5, last v8, last 5 that you can turn off ASS! |

Nice, I was debating Aventurine or Tanzanite and went for the latter in the end. Latest update from my dealer was [confirmed] delivery date 16 July. Not sure how the delivery date was confirmed but all the other dates were blank on the screenshot I saw.
🤞 it'll be in time for my cermaic coating & PPF before going on summer holiday drive to south of France. |

Since you've done a ton of research, you probably already know this.
The 19" wheel is speed limited lower than the 20" wheel, which IIRC is 135mph in the USA.

Congrats! I just got mine about six weeks ago and it’s amazing! I came out of a 2018 M3 (which I purchased new in early 2019) and was somewhat afraid I’d miss it. While I did love it, the M550i is a sophisticated monster of a car, with many personalities depending on your mood. I couldn’t be more pleased!

We're picking up our Skyscraper Grey/Black Nappa this Friday. Final assembly was April 22 and our VIN ends with...5887. Maybe you can compare your VIN to see how many were built during the last 50+ days. |

Nice. Savour the moment
Well worth the wait You’ll have a big grin on your face and in 6 months time when you park it next to a new g60, you’ll still have a grin on your face! |

My salesman offered me 2 M550s, but none is fully equipped, so not going to consider them (plus I'm interested in a lighter 540i RWD). But noticed something weird: They just got the first one, with VIN xxxCN58901 (build date 5/23), so a very late production one. And the one still in transit is xxxCN44451, which is a significantly older VIN. How is that possible? Just curious. By the way, they're at the south Austin dealership, if somebody is interested.

They may not be , they may have check digits in them to ensure that they have a basic level of checking that they are entered correctly possibly
Whatever, enjoy the 550 when it arrives as it is a superb car |

That’s a fantastic spec. Hands down superior to the 840i and E53.

Lovely looking car, makes a nice change to see one with black trim instead of Cerium.
Good choice looks stunning
