I asked sales person to check on the production date for 2013 X5. This is what he wrote back to me.
"I tried looking up the production schedule for the 2013 X5 but it looks like it is not available yet. However, when looking at the production schedule for the 2012 model year it is scheduled to end in March of this year and began production in April of 2011. This would likely mean that the 2013 model will follow the same schedule but I do not have any specific confirmation regarding that information"
Looks like may be a good idea to hold for two more months and get better price on the 2012 or order the 2013 model.
You guys that are taking delivery in the next few days, could you comment on what type of tires you recieved along with your rim size and sport/non sport?
According to TireRack there are 4 different types for a X5 35i premium with tire Size: 255/50R19
Continental CrossContact UHP SSR
Continental 4x4 Contact SSR
Michelin Latitude Tour HP ZP
Bridgestone Dueler H/L 400 RFT
According to tirerack, Bridgestone Dueler has the worst reviews.. They mention that the tires are not great in snow or wet roads.
The other 3 are average.
FYI - According to a dealer board sponsor "the chrome line exterior trim as they are not building any in April/early May with it due to a production shortage ($100 cheaper)."
Do they put the front plate attachment at the dealer or at the South Carolina?
I wonder if it is not too late to request not to add the front plate attachments.
I live in PA. I purchased my X5 in NJ. I contacted my CA about that. He said they will not put it on the cars for people who live in PA. It could be a dealer installation. Not sure though.
Thanks for clarifying... I knew that the iphone 4 and touch would work with the standard white usb cable.
Regarding tires.. how harsh is the ride? You don't have sports suspension and your car is premium right?
Do you have convienence package? Did you realize that your window trim is not chrome but black?
