I just checked mine again and I’m at final assembly!

My prod date is 9/19 so that makes sense

But we bought our 2018 m550 in Springfield, I actually grew up there. I tried reaching out to our CA there thru email to see if I could get an allocation sooner but he never responded. Paul Miller (where I bought my m240 conv) had one immediately but wanted $5k over MSRP for a “ceramic coating that they put on all M cars” and I said no thank you I’ll wait.

If I have it by my bday in Nov I’ll be happy!

Congrats! Might have been for the best. Open Road in Bridgewater was asking $10K over MSRP and delivery in January and Springfield was asking $5K over MSRP, but $2.5K for returning customers. Since my parents purchased their X5 there, they offered me the return customer markup, but we talked it down to $2K and then they took $1.5K off the winter wheel set I bought through them so it felt like a wash. They also said it was their last allocation and expected September or October delivery, which is tracking so far.

$5k for ceramic coating sounds super high. Doesn't that only last like a year or two? I will be doing a PPF coating around the car though. It worked so well on my last car.

I'm feeling the same way though--as long as it's here by November, I'll be thrilled! Hoping the best for both of us!

Sweet build, where did you order from?

[RemoWilliams84]

I'm now sitting in ready for transport.

[Lonestar4569]

Hello all,

MY 24, 6-M, Brooklin Gray, JB Wheels, Cognac, CF Trim, LP & SP, LCP.

8/4 Allocation
9/8 Scheduled for production
Not entered production as of yet
CA said week 39 build at allocation.

CA estimated mid to late Oct. delivery to San Antonio area....

I started limiting myself to morning, noon, and late evening checks to Tracker...surprising how much more time I have to do other things....

Hope so too! Then we can cruise on ct 63 haha. Wonder why it’s taking longer given your order was in before mine. How did you like working with Bridgeport?

[m3ct]

Been refreshing like it’s my job and surprise surprise ready for transport

[apez]

Almost at the wait forever for a ship step!

[baron95]

Well, I felt stupid checking it multiple times today, but .... boom...it is finaly entering production status 150. So a chance I can be on the same boat and we can do a CT/New England/NYC are delivery fall ride - LOL.

Details so far for those tracking the speed of things:

Build has carbon roof and trim, but no buckets, M color highlight seats, BSM, port installed MP Suspension

Allocation: July 29th
Order Received: July 29th
Scheduled for Production: Sep 8th
Production Begins (150 with VIN): Sept 21st
Production Date: Oct 4
Port of Entry: NYC/NJ
Dealer: Bridgeport



Let's go San Luis Potosi - build, build, build.

I first went to Darien - they were supper nice, let me test drive their G87 HEA demo car (a nice BG, manual), but told me I'd be #5 on the list. Dealership was empty. Weird.

Then I went to Bridgeport, they were nice, but very disorganized. But said I'd be #3 on their list and they are #2 in volume in CT. So I put my deposit there. They let me test drive an F87 M2 Comp. So it was a nice contrast G87 vs F87. I liked both, but F87 feels dated now, like a generation behind, which it is. Bridgeport had *a lot* of activity. My CA sold a 4-series while I had to take a work call in the parking lot.

So my take is Darien is nicer, but Bridgeport has a lot more volume.

I’ve used same sales guy at Darien for the last 2 m3’s. He is awesome to work with and got back to all my annoying emails right away.

Funny enough I got #6 on the list, and #5 dropped out when it was time to pull the trigger so I’m getting earlier than expected.
