M40i Coming sooner than you think

Was at my dealer today and was told that they already have been given their M40i allocations and that they have already placed their order. Estimated 8 to 12 week build time.

This of course is completely contrary to all of the published articles indicating the M40i version won't be here until August or September. Can't wait.

Wonder if they start taking orders as soon as the 30 is officially launched in March.

Don’t order the 30i, wait for the M40i. So much better.

I think I will order the M40i IF I like what I see in March. Was just wondering when we'll have an order guide and dealers will actually take orders for it.

Some here report that their dealers already have allocations, but I am hesitant without having seen it & order guide.

So do the dealers in cars.com actually have those cars on their lots or they just ordered cars in transit?

Most dealers around me have a red exterior with white seats coming. I happen to like that combo but wouldn't mind to see it in other colors as well.

I just like two tone color interiors. But the stitching does offer a nice visual contrast. And then there is the ambient lighting. Not that the seat color matter all that much once you sit in the car ... I suppose I am making up for a missed opportunity on my old Z4. Really wanted the white interior, but BMW stopped offering it by the time I was finally ready to get one.

Honestly, don’t know how you can stand it. I would probably sleep at the dealer or hire a snow plow to clear the street in front of me so I could drive it home
