Does anyone here know what exactly the "Anthracite Alcantara Headliner" add on option does? The BMW website does not do a great job of showing what it changes.

With the option "Anthracite Alcantara Headliner" the headliner, a- b- and c- pillar and the parcel shelf will be alcantara (The b-pillar will only have alcantara down to the height of the windows. Below that its plastic). |

Looks like the shipping vessel carrying my M550i (and maybe others as well) "The Brooklands" in scheduled to port today approximately at 11PM Eastern Time at the Port of Baltimore.
Hopefully it gets assigned to a shipping truck sooner than later, but I'm still expecting to received the car by late September.

I do not know which ship my car is on, and I'm trying hard not to obsess over the arrival.

How long from placing the order + deposit did it take folks to get a production number?
My timeline is as follows so far is: - September 2nd - order placed with deposit made - September 5th - told build code was sent and waiting on production number - September 15th - start wondering how long production number takes |

Still curious what other people's experience has been, but I called into the dealership as I was getting zero response from my sales rep. Was told they have allocations and I'm next in line, but that the factory still hasn't picked up the order. Was told they don't have any insights into when the factory will pick it up. They have sent it in, and will just keep checking back for when a production number will be assigned.

Hmm reading on threads like this: https://www.bimmerfest.com/threads/c...tions.1424486/
Sounds like I should be able to be given a production number right away if a dealership has an allocation. Is this true or have things maybe changed in the last 6 months? |

I ordered mine 12 days ago and was told to expect a production number within the next week or so. That will be almost exactly three weeks after the initial order.

This whole ordering thing can be complicated and the terminology used is not consistently applied. When I was 550 shopping (looking for something in inventory) all the dealers that had something said that it was sold (or wanted stupid money for it) and said that they would order me a car. No one would commit to actually having an allocation except for my local dealer (they're straight with me) who flat out admitted that they have no allocation and had no idea when they would get one. One or two salespeople claimed to have an allocation, but quite frankly I did not trust them to tell me the truth.
As I understand it, you have to have an allocation before the dealer can actually place the order with BMW, then later it's assigned a production number, then a production week, and after it's built it gets assigned a VIN. So you could possibly have an "order" in place with the dealer, but the BMW factory has no idea about it, and you have no idea that's the case until you actually get that production number. Hopefully that helps and doesn't further confuse anyone. Assuming of course, that I communicated it accurately.

We did the whole dealer order sheet and deposit after that was done. This was all done remotely over the phone and email. |

My M550 was loaded onto to a truck last night and is headed to the dealership.
Sweet baby Jesus!

I was about to buy a used S6 on the Audi side to get the V8. Ended up switching back over to the BMW side and ordered the M550i. It wasn't quite enough to upgrade my A6 with Rivo stage 2, S6 suspension, and RS7 intake, had to have the real V8 feel. |
