I placed my order end of October last year, till now still no update. I called my sales last month to follow up. Both him and his colleague knows nothing, I wasn’t provide with a number on the list just an contract with expected delivery date

Where is this BMW dealer located? It doesn't sound right that the dealer doesn't know anything. I was told fairly early on that my initial production date was Feb and then got told it was pushed back to May. I now have a Prod. date. The dealer should be able to get you this information, if not more.

If you placed your order in October there's a good chance you're in the top 5 priority wise. But I have no idea if your car has been impacted by the carbon related delays.

Thank you for your information, I placed my order with Northshore BMW, perhaps it’s impacted by the carbon seat delay but dealer have not updated me with anything till now..

Why mine? Pretty sure lex and M2 div are ahead of me

GYRKIN GT · 05-19-2023, 07:26 AM

Fair enough. Thought yours was going to be the first.

Alpine* · 05-20-2023, 01:47 AM

Or $151,560 in Vic

Correct. Have to take it off at the track package option

Cadillac · 05-21-2023, 11:21 AM

Wow,I paid $96K for my fully loaded comp in 2021.
I finally got to see the car at a dealer and liked it but was told no sun roof option?
I will now probably look at the M4 convertible option for the retirement years.

BackroadM · 05-24-2023, 08:28 PM

First post and glad to be joining the community. M2 on order and can't wait. How are people going insurance quote wise? I'm seeing ~A$3k or there abouts across most majors - Sydney location, fully garaged

Ouch, that's a chunk. Was hoping for considerably lesser - haven't asked for quotes yet, will wait until the car is closer. What is your spec and when are you expecting delivery? Welcome to the community!

Update Did a rough quote on Budget and got 1.6k - I'll take that.

BackroadM · 05-25-2023, 12:15 AM

Thanks for the welcome!

I also just did a rough Budget quote which came out at ~A$1.7k...certainly the cheapest I've run across 10 or so insurers. Qantas being second at ~A$1.9k (underwritten by A&G Insurance Co Ltd - same as Budget).

Spec: BG, Auto, M Sports Seats - May production, so suspect an early August delivery in a perfect world

Yeah not too bad then. Might just have to go with that if the better ones are 20-30% more. Will run it again closer and might give AAMI a ring - I'm with them at the moment and they have been very competitive in the past.

Similar specs - I've got the BSM, M sports seats and Auto - and I'm 8 May production so our cars will most likely be on the same boat!

Nice, BG has really grown on me! Mine is due for production in June - TR, 6 speed, M Sports seats. Expected delivery Aug/Sept.

When did you place your order?

Definitely! I was sold on BG after seeing an X3M in BG parked in the sun. My decision wouldn't change even in light of the newly announced Frozen Pure Grey and Frozen Portimao Blue. Would have loved the standard Individual Portimao Blue (Navy being my car colour of choice).

Was on EOI for about a year, then order placed Oct-22 as soon as released. Would be curious to know what the wait times for delivery would be on the M2's at the moment if orders are placed today?

Here's hoping the May builds still scrape through with the Anniversary roundels...

M Division · 05-25-2023, 07:11 PM

My BG went to production 26th April but still sitting in Mexico waiting for a lift to Aus.

I suspect all the delays at the ports on this end are now delaying shipments at the destination end, but who knows.

Not sure if it's coming with the anniversary roundels or the standard but I'm not bothered, will be a nice surprise either way as I have no idea. Im more hoping to win the tyre lottery!!

BackroadM · 05-25-2023, 07:35 PM

What a long lead time for an April build! Hopefully gets loaded soon.

I've seen a few demos sporting P-Zeros and not the Michelins, however assumed the dealers switched the tyres over once they took delivery. Are they shipping with both?! I'll be annoyed if mine isn't wearing Michelins

HiFi · 05-25-2023, 08:31 PM

Hey guys, if anyone is after an M2
-- toronto red, 6 MT, normal seats, carbon roof, bicolour 930Ms--
My brother has one arriving in July. He has opted to pickup an M3 instead due to a cancelled order coming up in his ideal spec.

You can take the order over from dealer

can also get discounts on new ones if anyone is looking - am a finance broker and deal with BMW heavily - but theres a fair wait if ordering now
