Just placed an order today for my third M550i xDrive. I had two 2021's last year (Bernina & Dark Graphite), but had to transfer out of both of them for different reasons. Both of those were in-stock units. I really wanted my next one to be white, but with inventory levels the way they are, it's been impossible to find one. So figured I'd order one! Last time I ordered a BMW was pre-pandemic. Things certainly have changed. I managed to get a few percent off and buy rate, which apparently is a steal nowadays (unfortunately can't share dealer info for obvious reasons, sorry!). I'll share progress throughout the journey. I'm in Week 6 production. Very excited!
2022 M550i xDrive -Alpine White -Ivory White Nappa Leather -Fine Line Open Pore Trim -Shadowline Package -Premium Package -Parking Assistance Package (yes, this can be added by the dealer even though it's not on the online configurator) -20" Wheels Style 846M w/ Perf RFT and blue calipers -Heated Steering -Ventilated Seats -Massaging Seats -Leather Dash

Nice welcome back. Yeah I would plan on waiting a long time and just be pleasantly surprised if sooner. Hold ups for RAM are taking a month+ right now for cars.

Thanks man! Nice to hear from you. Yeah that's what I figured. But I kept my build pretty basic (no Nappa, no DAP, etc) so hopefully that helps lol

Strangely, my order had gone into 112 status for the last few days but suddenly bounced back to 111 today. So I took advantage of the opportunity and changed the wheels to the 20's. Hopefully this is the last of any other changes 😂

Congrats - I got super lucky found an in-transit to dealer Alpine white 2022 m550i in Dec (literally only one in all of FL) and called before Christmas to put a deposit on it and got it just before new years! Its gorgeous/ very similar to your build but black nappa interior. Just curious, what was wrong with your previous ones? So far the only thing I've noticed weird on mine is the siriusxm radio is glitchy, but I barely use that.

Any update?
I ordered mine back in Jan 2022, and after many delays it finally completed production today and is awaiting carrier assignment. Hopefully I can take delivery early July. |

Nice config there OP, good move on the nappa, it's worth the slight price bump.

Just thought I would add to this thread:
Placed an order for a 540i around last week of January. Just took delivery in Ohio last week, for roughly a five month delivery time. Super happy with the car. Kelly BMW was great to deal with. |
