Cool 2018 Ordering Guide

Anyone seen a copy of the 2018 Ordering Guide online?

I finalized a deal to custom order my G12 earlier this week. When the dealer tried to configure the build, they could no longer place 2017 model year orders for individual colors. I now have to wait until next month, when orders for 2018 model year begin. Ever heard of them stopping individual colors before the end of the model year build?

Any feedback on my build is also appreciated:
  • Ruby Black Metallic & Mocha Nappa Leather
  • Chestnut Wood Trim w/ wooden inlay
  • Cold Weather Package
  • Driver Assistance Plus
  • Driver Assistance Plus II
  • Executive Package
  • Interior Design Package
  • 20" BMW Individual Light alloy V*Spoke
  • Integral Active Steering
  • Bowers & Wilkins Diamond Surround Sound

What are thoughts on Panoramic LED roof? Ambient Air? I think I'm going to pass on them but appreciate any reviews.

More likely that the limited Individual paint slots for the month are all already filled.
But this way you get a 2018 with any of the potential parts or software changes it may have over the 2017.

Love Ruby Black

If you have backseat passengers at night, Panoramic LED roof could be a nice touch. Driver and front passenger will not notice much.

Thanks, I tend to agree that driver and front passengers won't really notice. I can count on two hands the number of times I've had back seat passengers in my current 2015 7 series in the two years I've had it.

Ruby black is a brilliant colour

I viewed a 7 recently with that finish and it's spectacular.

The driver assistance pack has been revised to incorporate the features from the new 5. Those are to be added post march build

Speak to your dealer to make sure you get that latest revised pack

I can send you the UK press release confirming that but the situation may be different for US

I thought the new 5 was only picking up the options from the current 7. Is there something new on the 5 that the 2017 G12 doesn't have?

I'd love to see even the U.K. Build sheet if you have it.

When the 5 was launched BMW confirmed some of the autonomous driver assistance features were premiered and they would promptly follow for the 7. As as I get moment I'll post them here for you!

Individual paint options on all models are currently adding 12-16 weeks on top of ordering (for the UK) however this is due to a worldwide increase in order, the message from BMW to us as retailers was that BMW are working with suppliers to prevent this happening in the future, I'm guessing if your man at your dealer was to try and order for a May build that it would allow him to place brand new order, just guessing though as there are different processes for outside of Europe.

Awesome, thanks. I should be placing the order in the next few weeks so I'll let you know.

I noticed the build your own has changed on Bmw USA.com but none of the pricing has changed. I can't tell if it's a 2018 build though.

FINALLY my dealer can order the 2018 in individual colors. Of course the incentives changed and we're having to renegotiate the deal. Foundry the 18 pricing guide and have an msrp of 116,342.

Not sure why that car is so expensive. Maybe just the options your choose. My opinion on the individual wheel is don't get it. Heavy, in fact the heaviest wheel available on the 7 next to that liquid black multispoke add on. It will affect the ride and bend easily. As for the sky lounge, it is only visible if you manually open the rear shade, and although it looks cool, it really is a novelty. I have most of the options except the exec lounge seating and the rear entertainment, so feel free to ask me.
