Good evening, everyone!

I ordered my dream car one year earlier than my goal on my 39th birthday, February 3rd. It only seemed fitting as my first BMW ever was 1 year before my goal, same as my house. I always wanted a V8 5 series and now I find myself spamming the Genius folks with calls (once a day) and the tracking site (multiple times a day)...oh man I will always be a child!

Just wanted to chime in and say hello! I used to be active on e90post so it's nice to be back to the BMW forums. It's been a while but it's good to be back.

Nice spec! I love the Mocha Nappa. I see too many M550i's with Black Nappa. My birthday is February 4 so we are pretty close! I feel like the executive package is not worth as much as they are charging. If you want it for the ceramic controls, I would definitely swap that for the premium package, and just get aftermarket ceramic controls. Would be much cheaper.

Thanks! Yeah mocha is boss! My E90 had the Terra interior. I wanted something different again.

Ps, love your spec too! Pps, thanks for making your post so clean. Used it as a template for mine. Haha

Oh nice! Mind posting a pic? Never saw the combo in real life haha. Only separately.

Thanks for the kind words!

Sorry—just saw your reply. Here you go. Don’t really have any of the interior.

The salesperson I was talking to said that each dealership could only order 5 M/M performance cars each yearly quarter. I'm unsure if that is per M model or for all M models combined. This most likely means that your car will go into production Q2. They do not have an allocation for your car.

My dealer said week 11 so did the Genius folks. I am just being impatient. I am sure it will start up Monday. They did screw one thing up and I am glad I caught it early on. I think that change probably moved me down in the queue. They are using the allocation unit from Jan 28th.

Monday? That's the day my car gets unloaded from the ship! Hoping to take delivery sometime next week!

Hell yeah! That's awesome! Well I'll be in touch then if any update occurs. Dealer told me mine is the only m550 coming in for a while, so I'm hopeful.
