4/30 Order placed

6/15 Production begins - VIN provided
7/5 Left the port aboard Glovis Spirit
7/21 Arrived at Baltimore port
8/3 Arrived at Patrick BMW in Chicagoland
8/6 Scheduled Pickup

Was just shy of 100 days beginning to end.

Sadly that timeline will not apply to the G87.

I've already pulled my deposit and bought a '19 GT350R so I won't be getting an M2 for a few more years at best. But I'll be interested in the upcoming M2 Comp only if it retains the manual and more colors are offered.

I have to admit I was rather surprised to see how much better the car looked after full reveal vs the leaks we received (even tho it's the same car). Maybe it's bc the ZB color is garbage but I really like the red.

At least all the subject-matter experts with 2 month old accounts who can't bear to listen to opposing opinions on a forum are prob having their 5 mins of fame right about now

Blew my mind that some of you guys would jump the gun and backing out of your slots because you couldn't wait another week AND were basing everything off of terrible leaked pics. Live and learn!

It's all good the 350R has been on my bucket list for awhile and I don't regret it at all and if it works out I may even drive it for a few years and get back what I paid for it. It wasn't that I couldn't wait but more so everything for the 350R lined up perfectly.

On the plus side in 2-3 years the comp will have been out for awhile by then and hopefully more colors etc so maybe I'll be returning. I am genuinely excited for everyone to get their M2's and start posting photos etc come April '23

I think it'll be right around there. It should be a 3 month turnaround once you have a slot.

Does this seem like a stretch to anyone?

This isn't bad. I put an RS3 order in back on May and no update.

I am first on the list at my dealer and have 1k down so I'm just waiting to go place my spec. I'm sure I'll get the car by April to May

Game I was referencing production beginning in December and launch not happening until April. Production will be slow going initially.

Ahh okay.

Biggest backpedaling move of my life. Hated leaked photos and was vocal about it. Probably have PTSD from G80/G82 grille.

*Ordered it. Love the stance, it's going to be bad ass in SBM. Not a fan of the curved screen, it's out of place. Not sure about door handles.

Never should have traded f80 ZCP, but I'll be back in the M (6-speed and Motorsport) life again!

* Made a deposit.

Made a deposit. It's going to be a while. Delivery summer or fall of 2023.

You won't be the only one. People loved to jump the gun and shit all over design before giving it a fair chance. This is the culture we now live in.

Order place yesterday. Hopefully get it close to launch date in April.

Looking forward to making a build as epic as we did on the OG.

You placed the order? Orders are available to be placed?

Probably not. I'm first at my dealer (allocation with Money down) and I have to wait till I can place my order, I'm guessing mid November.

Yes I have an order form with spec/price and have given a deposit.

JustinHEMI · 10-13-2022, 07:17 AM

This is why I'm asking for clarification. In the one case, the person simply got on a list and didn't actually place an order, and just above, someone is claiming to have actually placed an order. Maybe ordering is open in UK?

ronin13013 · 10-13-2022, 07:18 AM

orders are live in Europe. We have to wait in the States.

Your honesty is appreciated. Hat tip to you.

Looks like my earlier prediction about the reception of the G87 M2 after the sketchy leaks is becoming rather accurate:

Has anyone from Belgium already placed an order ?

JustinHEMI · 10-14-2022, 02:16 PM

Spoke to my client advisor today, still number 1, just waiting for allocation.

3 months was the "old" timeline - pre-Covid, pre-supply chain issues, etc. Good luck getting a car that fast now.

My new M240i took 91 days. Would have been faster but the factory shut down for 2 weeks for the changeover to MY23. That is typical for 2ers right now

Albator_IIII · 10-14-2022, 09:10 PM

I just put my name in for one as well. First new car in 14+ years. This will be my summer toy. I got the PDF order guide from a dealer when I was shopping. Had to try a few dealers to not get any markup over MSRP.
