We are all BMW fans. I love keeping up with all of the posts. Here's hoping everyone who got their cars are enjoying them as much as I enjoy mine ... and for those patiently waiting for their cars that they'll eventually enjoy them as much as I enjoy mine!

Agreed! But back to the first topic...
My 530e arrived at the dealership on 11/19 and I took delivery this past Saturday 11/21. Have been so busy that I only had time to snap some pics this weekend. Timeline was: 9/25/2020: 112 Scheduled for Production 9/29/2020: 150 Production Begins 10/6/2020: 151 Body Shop Started 152 Paint Shop Started 10/7/2020: -- Entering Assembly Line 10/8/2020: 153 Assembly Started -- Quality Check 10/9/2020: 182 Schedule for Carrier 10/12/2020: 190 In Transit to Port of Exit 10/14/2020: 193 Arrived at Port of Exit 10/16/2020: Departed Bremerhaven on Volans Leader (NYK Line) 10/19/2020: 195 Shipped from Port of Exit 11/14/2020: Volans Leader arrived at Port Hueneme, CA 11/19/2020: Arrived at Dealership 11/21/2020: Delivery day Loving it so far. It's huge compared to my 2011 E90 335i, but very smooth both in ride and power delivery. Hoping the commute miles on this will keep my E90 around for a while longer! After a week of driving it, I went through the configurator and honestly I'd make no changes. I was really torn on sport seats vs. multicontour- loved the idea of the latter but I'm so used to sport seats and at a UDE event last year I just felt a lack of lateral support for my body type. That said, as many have pointed out, the G30 sport seats have bizarrely tight thigh bolsters- I'm 5'9" 140lb and felt the squeeze at first, though somehow after a couple days I stopped noticing it and am now super comfy. Those bigger will want multicontour, but really the competition's premium seats all have better lateral support so come on BMW! Couple photos: Delivery day: The many shades of Bernina: |

Since I started this thread as "Made Some Progress," here is the latest progress I've made with my car.
A big thanks to mattygnj, my son, for making this video and showing off my new 2021 540i xDrive. Take a look ... and give him some likes!

Royal PIA to take off old switch. Seems BMW changed the clips which hold it in place, which makes it about 100% more difficult to remove than the video. Either way, got the new switch installed... doesn't even turn on. I expected it to at the very least be functioning the same for the regular functions. Unfortunately, it's completely dead. I'm not sure if it's a bad switch, but it doesn't work. I tried coding the "gentleman's function" anyway, but nothing. The module itself seems identical except for the extra button and corresponding LED. I tried the old switch with the module coded (but with the new button), and still nothing. Either I'm not doing something right, or I just pissed away $100 (and I'm going with the latter). |

My order status for 530d x drive has been static at 155 since 17th December. I don't have a clue what is going on. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just as an update on the Gentleman's option switch. I ordered another switch...
The second one went right in, coded the 2 seat modules and it's working fine. Apparently the first one was just broken... I'm glad I ordered a second one to try out. |

A quick question:
How long did it take from "Scheduled for production" to "Production started"? I'm wondering since I'm in the "Scheduled for production" stage.

Mine was roughly a week and half in October.

Quick question:
Where do you view the estimated completion date?
