Ended up with about $90k out the door with all taxes and fees included. Is this pretty good for an order?

Hard to tell without seeing the numbers.

What's the MSRP? What discounts were applied?

MSRP was 88295, about $4300 discount.
It's not a bad deal.

MSRP of mine is $92,385
Invoice is ~85k

I'm getting $1500 below invoice plus incentives of 3k.

A total of about $11k in discounts.

Question about a couple standard options

Where are the garage door opener buttons? I didn't notice them when I was test driving an M550.

Does decoding mean disabling or enabling? Anyone know what additional functions?
Decoding additional functions
Decoding for no-dazzle hgh bm

Does this mean from the recent regulations that the anti-dazzle coding doesn't need to be done by us?

I believe "decoding" means turning OFF. US DOT regulations do not allow for the anti-dazzle functionality right now, so even though we have the hardware, they "decode" the software to reduce it to the dumb high/low-only switch.

Mine has been in "Production Begins" for the past few days which by all accounts is normal. But this is almost worse than the 6 weeks it was just sitting at "Order Received".

I've taken to re-watching all the YouTube videos. Hopefully someone will post one of a MY19 soon!

I actually went through my history and deleted them so I stop seeing the car on youtubes front page. Feel better the less I think about the wait.

I've been wanting to add the night vision option to the car but I'm not totally sure. I drive on dark roads that don't have street lights on afternoon or night shift for work. For those that have it does it really make a difference? Can you turn it on at any speed? Are there limitations to what it can do? YouTube videos show a guy driving around and it would highlight people yellow in the display, does this happen with US vehicles?

I was thinking about it also but my CA advised against it as it only works when the ambient temp is below 85F or something, and then it doesn't work as well unless even cooler. I live in Atlanta so that would have nixed effectiveness for a chunk of the summer. Plus it adds the little lens in the grille that I wasn't a huge fan of.

I might have still gone for it if it was slightly cheaper but for the four figure add on price I decided to ditch it. I've survived this long without such a feature.

I went on vacation. I'm down to checking about once a day vs 400 while I'm here. No idea what I'm going to do when I get home 😜

I'm on a work trip overseas putting in 16 hour days, almost too exhausted to check. Almost. I just logged in this morning and see mine in the paint booth!

You are two to three days from leaving factory. I'm sitting at port waiting for boat. Where about is your heading?

Over the course of today I left the paint booth and am now at "Assembly in progress" - hooray!

I'm doing PCD, so just heading to the US east coast. Oddly enough I'm in Europe this week and next. I kind of wish I could hop over to Germany and say hello next week or something.

Awesome. I think my M550 is about 1-2 days behind you in production! Mine needs to get to the west coast, so still a long time away for me.

I'm hoping yours delivers earlier than January, I'm east coast so I'm hoping for it to be my Christmas present before New Year's Day.
