Trouble finding release date

Ladies and Gents,

Despite my best efforts, I have not been able to find any information about X6 and X6M release dates either on Google or the forum. I emailed David at Steve Thomas BMW a few days ago and haven't heard back. That's a shame since I have family in LA. I could have flown in, stayed the weekend and drove home.

I was thinking of going with a Cayenne Turbo but so far the X6 styling turns me on a lot (lot) more. Does anyone have any info about when I could put in an order?

Thanks,
Patrick

So i talked to BMW in Germany and they told me that order will start in October, but the presentation for X5M/X6M will be in April 15

I am not quite sure how this Information works with the details of the production information you posted again, and i donīt know if there is a difference for the american market.

I also thought the presentation will be in Paris this october, but there are several informations that it will be LA in november.

Maybe Scott26 has some more infos

The real question is - when the announcement re: power plant/etc. figures will be made and the looks unveiled. Maybe during the Paris motor-show? Wouldn't post an order w/o actually seeing WTF you're ordering, would you? ))

I wouldn't expect them to begin accepting orders before the reveal. But no, I wouldn't order a car sight unseen however I would like to be able to give my wife an approximate timeline of when I want to spend another $100K+ on a car. We have other goals too.

Orders are already being accepted. I have an appointment booked with my salesman this evening to order mine.

From what I hear, all primary allocations (in Canada anyways) will be done on a pre-booking basis with regular dealer allocations happening only after all pre-orders are filled.

First vehicles are expected to be delivered sometime in the 2nd half of Feb. I would suspect the official reveal will happen sometime at the Paris Autoshow and the full order guide will be released shortly thereafter.

I heard from the dealer that they have already taken 5 pre-orders since they started accepting them (in the last couple of weeks I think - I imagine other dealers are probably doing the same thing).

Timing worked out well for me, I started mulling over replacing the E70 about 6 months ago. I've been harassing my dealer about the F85 ever since.

Ordering sight unseen isn't such a big deal for me. I am pretty well 100% sure that it will be a better drive and have a better interior fit out than the E70.

Start of the year = F80 and F82

End of the year = F85 and F86

Im now hearing some further confusion about launch timing of the F85/F86. I had initially heard that they would be launched at the Paris Motor Show starting this Saturday. Now Ive heard that Paris will launch the F16 X6 and the M Sport diesel version, but, the F85/F86 will be seen at the LA Auto Show in November.

For me sooner is better, so, Im hoping for Paris, but, I guess we'll see in a few days.

They will debut at the LA Auto Show in late November.

The F16 X6 has debuted in Paris -- see http://f15.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1042250

Any idea if we will see order guides before the official debut?

You dealing with Edmonton BMW? They placed my name last month on the list and from what I have heard is that the dealer allocation order will be placed in October and hopefully it will arrive in the showroom December.

Production in Spartanburg starts January 2015
