Quite a while. Ordered 4th of May but the paint took an extra month.

Anything missing from yours? Have been told that my 545e is missing the wireless charging, that I use quiet a lot. Have been told by dealer that he can retrofit it after I purchase.

Missing wireless charging, digital key and contactless tailgate. Was not told about these deletions - even at pickup.

That's poor.
So either the price should be lower to reflect the missing items or you have the chance to cancel as it's not what you ordered.

Of all the options on my list for the 545, Wireless Charging is probably the only thing I would be happy to lose. It is now appearing on the spec sheet, and I *was* told that it should have it.
Not sure on remote boot now - will be checking on that.
Digital key is not showing on spec sheet, so expecting it not to be there.
Again, not a deal breaker for that.
It looks very good in that paint.
I think mine is now due April / May.
I have still yet to see one of these in the flesh - anywhere.

I agree. BMW have been really annoying about it telling me that their website says availability is subject to change. Of course it is! But if you order something and what arrives isn't what you ordered then they have to tell you and give you the option to cancel or accept an adjusted price - it says exactly this on their order terms as well! So their attitude has soured me somewhat.

Nardo Grey is more Grey and without metallic particles whereas the Bernina Grey with Amber Effect is more brown/tan.

But I haven't compared them IRL side by side.

They sent me those wheels and I didn't order them. I went with Bernina Gray instead of Nardo, still, that's a sick ride. Looks good.

Here's a similar build out with the Bernina. It does have more of a gold to it than the Nardo. Ordered this back in September. She arrived 12/10 but the Germans gave me bi-colored wheels. I drove it for a couple of weeks and knew I wanted what I wanted and had them powder coated.

Thank you! And no. The windows are ceramic tinted, but haven't done ceramic on the paint.
