Question for you, I recently ordered mine and it didn't seem to offer the option for the black kidney grills. Any idea if that option was dependent on a specific package you got or some other contingency? I ordered mine similar to yours minus the executive/premium tiers and left mine with the 19" M Sport wheels. Thanks Chris |

I didn't get the M stuff or Multi contour, if I had to do it again I would probably have add night vision and Multi contour (fine with 18 inch and non M, I was more comfort oriented)

It will sit in production for a while and then a few more days when it actually starts the body assembly process. Then it will get built fast in those 16 stages! Fun to watch! I was looking everyday!

Yes, had to ask CA for black grilles. It's showing as option Z06 (vette came to my mind too). "Accessories Z06 Black Kidney Grilles" |

Also glad that the 704 suspension is standard on Msport. Went back-n-forth on DHP and the associated cost. Agree with clee1982 if I was living in NY metro. I'm in DC burbs and so far roads are pretty well maintained on my routes.

Your dealer should've assigned you a production order number. You can logon to your My BMW account, plug-in that number, and watch your vehicle go through the 16-step build process at the factory. That's actually pretty neat to watch it go down the line. I was checking mine hourly! |

If you want to obsess over how it's being built, check this out.

It's here. Picked it up 3/19. BMW of Sterling was fantastic on delivery. Car is amazing so far, really an uplift from the F10 535xi.
