If you had to guess, when will my car arrive?

[R-M4]

Hello everyone!
My M4 went into production this past Friday in the morning. (11/17)
I know this is a tough question but if you had to guess, when do you think the car will be at the dealership?

1) Very end of December

2) 1st week of January

3) 2nd week of January



Thank you.

PS: I'm in Orlando, FL.

The car only takes a few days to be built from my past experience buying 2 M4s in the past year so I'd go with option 1

The delay in my case is the shipping from Germany to Dubai that took like a month and a half. In your case, it should reach you much sooner.

I hear you man, I was going crazy waiting for this car.

Ordered on the 27th of March.

Received Production Date on the 1st of April which was scheduled for the 20th of May

Production data commenced 5 days earlier which was the 15th of May

Car was built and ready for shipment on the 20th of May

Received the car on the 15th of July (that how slow the ship is )

The day you receive it, will be one of the best days of your life

[Super Spartan]

so tell us a bit about your car, what color? what options / packages did you order? Did you get the competition package? M Performance Exhaust?

* Alpine White
* 19" M Forged Black Double-Spoke
* Black Extended Merino Leather
* Executive Package
* Park Distance Control
* Active Blind Spot Detection -
* M Double-clutch Transmission with Drivelogic


I ended up adding the CP and rear diffuser right before production started. I got lucky...

Assume that the seller dealership is also in Orlando, so your vehicle will be imported/shipped to Brunswick, GA. You should be assigned a ship within 7 days from end of production and on your way. Atlantic crossing will take around 2 weeks depending on ship assigned to and how many stops prior to Brunswick. VPC processing 3 days or less, 1 day carrier shipping to dealership- mid December.

My car finished production last Thursday and is being sent to port.

Figure it's going to be waiting for a boat for 1-2 weeks, then shipped here.

Then VDC, then inspection, and if no damage get to the dealership by late December.

Yes, the dealer is in Orlando.
I will be very honest with you, I have a feeling I will only be getting the car in Jan.
But, who knows???
I will definitely keep you all informed and post the exact date I get it.
Thank you for your input.

Oh boy... my story is quite a story. I ordered it on 08/31 but I think the dealer either did not have an allocation at the time or I got bumped.

Please see below for more info.


Was this an OK, good or GREAT deal? http://f80.bimmerpost.com/forums/sho....php?t=1417983

[GOLFFRR]

I would love my M4 to have 3 turbos so watch it. Lol

On a serious note, I know man...
Well, let's see what happens!

I didn't know production was so quick, I have individual order so I wonder how long mine will take.

Yeah I was surprised too. Production started on the 15th of May for me, then 3 or 4 days later when I asked my sales exec what's the status, he told me it's already A99 - Awaiting port allocation. The problem is for it to actually be shipped and the time it takes to reach you. Even if it's an individual color, they have the paint codes so it's just another paint IMO. Now getting them to start the job is another deal

Someone told me production takes about 5-7 days. My car went into production on 11/17. BMW Genius said that production is scheduled to end by 11/28. (Again, just an estimated date)

We will see.

Anyway, Happy Thanksgiving everyone.

Wait, you got the competition package but still opted for the 19” wheels? The 20” 666M wheels/tire combo in black are selling for $3-4K used. Even if you hate the 666M wheels, they’re worth their weight in gold right now. You can easily sell them and pick up a set of aftermarket HREs and basically break even.

Honestly, i did not even think of it.
But, I also don't know if I wanted to go through the hassle of selling wheels, etc...
I have a pretty busy job and I party / drink on my days off. Lol
Thanks.
