There will always be someone who has to put the first couple of miles on the car from the factory. They need to roll it off the factory floor, roll it onto the shipping trucks and container ships, into the VPC for processing, into the dealership for PDI.... My car had 11 miles when I took delivery or my order car. It can vary a bit depending on the steps I mentioned. Some can come with less and some with more, but I'd expect under 20 miles on an order car at delivery.

It won't be getting driven by "randoms" on a test drive like a lot car will be with everyone hammering on the accelerator and ignoring the break-in rules.

Yes - just picked up my Bernina Gray 2021 530xi and that is standard now.

Sleeping isn't a problem.....when I wake up at 4AM and have to wait three hours - that's a problem.

Hi all.

I picked up my new 2021 M550i in Bluestone Metallic with all options except the window shades and Wilkins sound system. OMG. it's awesome! It had only 4 miles on the odometer.

Lots of tech to figure out. That will take some time.

Here are a few shots that I took at the dealership. The last one my wife took as I pulled into our driveway. As you will see, I'm very happy with the way it all came together. And, oh, that new car smell.

Cheers,
Bud

Finally took delivery today of my 2021 M550!

It arrived at the dealer over a week ago, they were backed up are were not able to deliver it until today. It was well worth the wait, since as of Sept 1, the residual went up a percent and they added an additional $500 credit if you had a recent BMW lease return, so my payment went down by over $35/mo and will save over $1300 in total.

Build:
2021 M550i xDrive
Carbon Black Metallic
Black Nappa Leather with contrast stitching
Fineline Ridge Wood Trim
Driving Assistance Plus Package
Shadowline Package
Premium Package

Space-saver spare

Deal:
MSRP: $82,985
Discount: ($7,470)
Loyalty: ($750)
Lease credit: ($1000)
USAA: ($500)

I went with the Nappa leather upgrade but not for the dashboard. It is the standard SenseTech as I though that it would be easier to maintain.

I think that is standard, but I’m not sure. I have to check.

For those wondering about the tires, my M550 has 19" performance wheels and came with Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3. Not too crazy about that, I really liked the Michelin Pilot Sports on my 2018 M550. I had 22K miles on them with no problem and plenty of tread left. Not sure the Goodyears will be as durable.

My car with the optional 20" wheels came with the Michelin Pilot performance run flat summer tires. I live in PA, so a change of tires will be necessary for the winter.

Michelin and Continental both make all season performance tires that fit my car. The other option would be to buy the a winter wheel/tire package from BMW. That way I could change the tires myself instead of having to go to a tire shop and then worry about trying to fit 4 tires into my car for the ride home.
