Sick! Great combo!

That is a "spendy" build! Nearing a $100k?

Hi Dima550i, very nice build!

Could you expand on "Waiting on approval to add Alcantara Headliner"? Is this option actually available on the 2019s? It wasn't on the 2019 pricing guide...

I'm also putting in a 2019 order soon and it was one of the options I wanted to add.

Thanks in advance!

You have to ask your CA. They have to call BMW and ask for these options.

Yes, it's a bit over $100k. I won't know until dealer sends me the final build sheet.

If you're leasing the M550 is significantly cheaper.

Alcantara Headliner

Hey, sorry for late response. Unfortunately, my CA was not able to get the headliner approved. I am very disappointed. However, I am certain that when the car arrives I will forget all about it.

Update -- Still No Car

So my car has been sitting at the VPC for over a week. I thought it had to do with the carbon diffuser that I ordered with the car. However, I found out by calling BMW NA that there is an OIL PAN RECALL of some sort and they are not releasing the car from VPC until the issue is corrected. I have not been able to get any more information on the issue. SO BUMMED OUT. I already bought a bunch of stuff for the new car and I have no car.

Do you know if the recall is just for the 550 or all 5 series?
