We can sense the anxiousness in many of our M3/M4-owners-to-be's posts, so here's a timeline to help guide you through the next few months.
Pricing for the 2015 M3 has been announced in the U.S. at
$62,000 and 2015 M4 at
$64,200 [
U.S. pricing guide].
But we can now also provide a better timeline of what to expect through the next few months in terms of order/price guides, as well as order bank submission, deliveries and european delivery dates.
Important M3/M4 Dates (updated as of 4/4/14):
January 18-25: auto show debut @ Detroit (public days).
End of January-February: Full Pricing-Ordering Guides released.
February: Dealers receive allocations and order bank opens for submission of customer orders (after Pricing-Ordering Guides are released).
March: Production begins for launch/demo cars.
Late April: Production begins for customer cars.
First week of May: International press drives (first reviews).
First half of June: U.S. press drives.
3rd Week of June: Customer deliveries (worldwide) and European Delivery begin (subject to change based on EPA certification) - scheduled date is June 21, 2014. M4 convertible deliveries follow approximately 4 months later.
* The timeline is of course subject to change, but we're getting pretty close to these dates, so they should not slide by far, if at all [updated as of 4/4/14].
