This will piss everyone off (including me). I just saw an F90 M5 on the road in LA. Alpine white.
What's worse is that it had plates which means this guys had it for at least a few weeks. Didn't catch the plate number, but it was definitely an F90 M5.

Like someone else said, this is a special exception. Not a customer delivery. When real deliveries occur we'll see threads on here.

Now, you mentioned your dealership in Charlottesville offered you the loaner? Would it be credible to cite this to my dealer? The only thing I did get out of the discussion is that confirmed official release of M5 is first week of April (with subject to change as she also indicated-whatever that means) |

Response from my rep: "I spoke with a general manager and we're not set up for a loaner for the situation. We only have loners for our service department. Some dealerships have vehicles designated as demos but we do not have these cars." |

Yeah you can mention to them that they offered.
Just seems pretty messed up that your dealer won’t step up and offer a loaner without you having to jump through hoops. It’s not very good customer service when buying a $120k car and your car is stuck at the port for no reason. When I was waiting for my E63s some guys were getting loaners for 4 to 5 months because the cars were stuck at the port waiting for the EPA. A month of the loaner doesn’t really cost them much to make you happy. |

Nice, I got pics from my friend who just went to training there. She loved it in person. Also there's a stop sale on the 5 series in general due to a bulletin "REPLACE THE TEMPERATURE SENSOR FOR THE TANK LEAK DIAGNOSIS MODULE". I'm not sure if it has anything to do with the F90 as it's a new chassis etc but in general there's a lot of things they're trying to fix for the 5 series in general

If I remember correctly, this very same situation happened two years ago with the M2. I think was due to both EPA and release date restrictions.

So do any of the soon to be owners also have or have had an F8x car?
Looking for feedback on the differences while driving in comfort mode. Once you guys get acclimated with your your new babies. My next car will be luxury first, power second. Just don't know which direction I'm going to go. Thanks in advance. |

I feel the pain - I've waited for 5 months for both of the BMWs I ordered... in a span of a year and a half for various reasons
Stay strong, it's worth the wait getting exactly what you want in the end.
