Despite our wide variety of BMW models and features, you may find yourself wanting something more. Maybe you're feeling pressured to choose between two vehicles that each offer a little of what you're looking for, but neither offer everything you need. In this case, you might wish to consider custom-ordering a BMW from us at Apple BMW in York, Pennsylvania. Especially for those wishing to make a purchase with a higher price tag, a custom BMW will end up being an even better financial investment than a purchase that you feel you have to settle for.

In this article, we'll dive deeper into the BMW custom-ordering process. We'll take a look at how to build your very own BMW in minutes on our website, as well as what you should expect when it comes to a production timeline. Read on to discover whether a custom-ordered BMW is the perfect choice for you.

The Custom-Ordering Process

Ordering a custom BMW is easy and straightforward with our online Build Your Own BMW tool. In just a few simple steps, you can preview how your custom BMW will look, from its design to its specifications, including details such as the cost of each individual feature. There are also upgrade packages for features you may wish to add to your custom build. Once you've designed your dream BMW, a member of our team will reach out about your next steps, including your financial options. 

In terms of a timeline, depending on matters such as where your build is taking place and whether all of your chosen features are in stock as planned, you should expect to wait a total of 8 to 16 weeks after submitting your order for your custom BMW to be delivered to our dealership.

Available Customization Options

With our online tool, you'll be able to build your custom BMW from the ground up, starting with your base model of choice and moving on through your engine and performance preferences and interior and exterior design selections. Whether you're looking to boost your vehicle's performance, maximize its safety features, or create a luxury experience from top to bottom, the Build Your Own tool allows you to construct the BMW of your dreams.

A virtual preview of the finished BMW that updates with every selection makes it easy to decide between a variety of options, such as color or materials. Throughout the customization process, you're able to see how much of a cost, if any, each choice will add to the custom BMW's final price. Once you've completed your custom build, each individual feature and specification you've chosen is outlined in detail as well as their price so that you aren't caught by surprise.

Advantages of Custom-Ordering a BMW

If you're looking for particular features, one of the biggest advantages of custom-ordering is that you pay for exactly the features you want and none of the features that you don't. Especially when looking for a vehicle on the pricier side, it can be overwhelming trying to choose between inventory options when each of them only has a few of the features you're looking for. Instead, custom-ordering a BMW allows you to save time shopping by knowing exactly what you're getting and knowing for a fact that you'll be satisfied with the vehicle you end up with.

It also means that by ordering a BMW built to your exact preferences, you end up receiving greater value in the long run. Custom-ordering allows you to anticipate what features you may want down the road and incorporate them into your vehicle well in advance, avoiding the need to find a brand-new vehicle in a few years' time. With all of your dream specifications, there's a higher chance you'll be loving this car for much longer than you would a stock model.

Potential Challenges With Custom-Ordering a BMW

Though the benefits are undeniable, there are a few drawbacks you might wish to consider when custom-ordering a BMW. One of the biggest hurdles is that a custom order requires longer wait times than simply buying one off a dealership lot. If you're in need of a vehicle ASAP, a custom BMW may not be the way to go. However, if the wait is worth it for you, a few extra weeks while your vehicle is being built shouldn't be a problem.

In addition to longer wait times, you may also experience delays in production if there happen to be parts or supply shortages or a shift in available feature options. However, at Apple BMW, we always make sure to keep you in the loop. If there are any updates regarding your build, we'll let you know in our internal online portal.
