Car showing wrong configuration at the status of awaiting carrier assignment
Hi guys, I putted a custom order for 540i xdrive last month and now the car is finished assembly and awaiting for carrier assignment, but the car is having the wrong rim and missing the extended shadowline trim. Is it possible the website is outdated because I saw in one discussion that it says the configuration will be updated thru the process, but I am already at the status of awating carrier assignment. The salesman told me that they can swap the vehicle when it arrives the dealership, does this make sense to your guys because I dont think there is another identical one in my 200 mile radius region and I dont think they can swap any configurations beside rims between cars? Thank you guys for your thoughts!

Find out if it is possible for the extended shadowline trim and rims could be done at the Port of Entry Prep Center. If not ask for an additional discount as the car is not exactly showing up the way you wanted it. Especially waiting atleast 6 weeks for it.
a few questions 1. Did he submit the order and, was it was accepted with the shadowline trim and rims? 2. When did you find out the car was coming not the way you ordered it?

I find out the configuration is wrong as soon as I have the production number and I let my salesman recognize that issue at the same time. At another post, I see people say that do not feel worry if the options are wrong on the website because it will be updated thru the process so I am not worrying too much at the beginning but now it is at the waiting carrier stage and I feel if the configuration still has not been updated, it probably means that I am screwed. I will keep you posted when there is an update. Thank you very much for the help! |

Hmmmm. Not to get you wired but if the dealer is unwilling to give you an answer. Then I think you have your answer. One more questions. Did you see the build sheet before you signed off on the order? I had to for my incoming m340. If you signed off on an order that was exactly what you wanted. Then your car is not being manufactured as such, some one needs to either explain and / or compensate you for that. If needs be get BMW NA involved. Without knowing you, You work too hard to get your car and it should be exactly the way you want it. Just my 2 cents , ok I wil get off my soap box (lol)

Shouldn't you be able to view the exact build in your garage on the bmw tracking site. ? That should be accurate.
I say that because my broker put in wrong wheel color on initial order and I caught it within a day and he changed it. The photo on the vehicle build still showed the wrong wheels but the breakdown of the packages showed the correct wheel type. |

Did you confirm the production number matches the work order number on the website? Just wanted to make sure it wasn't a typo issue.

In attachment is the screentshot of my garage. In this discussion, they say "Do not be concerned if you enter your production order number into the My BMW site and it shows the wrong colors/options. That is normal and will update much later in the process." So I was waiting it to be updated at beginning but I also let my salesman know once I find it out but now it is in status of waiting shipment, I guess I am probably out of luck. https://g30.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1315141 |

Down payments are done when the car arrives and you do the paperwork. Usually you have to put a $500 deposit, but that is 100% fully refundable.

Update:
The car has already arrived the port last week and will arrive the dealership this Friday. The salemans tells me that they will order the parts and do the swap process. He told me that it was due to parts shortage when they ordered my car and the order changes the configuration automatically due to this issue. I will update again once I have more information. I hope anyone who has placed 5 series order recently does not need to go thru this. Haha |

Update:
Just got back from dealership with paper work signed yesterday, I hear from my salesman that among couple other cars that they custom ordered have the same issue. Most of them are missing luxury seating package and massage seat option due to the parts shortage. The dealer sucks up the swapping labor and parts fee. Anyone who is interested in custom ordering BMW recently, please consult with salesman about the parts availability, otherwise you may end up with my situation. |

The original configuration sheet is not a promise to subsequently install the missing parts without cost to you. I strongly urge you to get that confirmed in writing (you could do an email to the sales associate confirming the arrangement and ask him to confirm that you have stated it correctly).
