Dealerships around here haven't opened a waiting list (read: take deposits) since they don't like to treat their customers like fools (that is a quote).. I doubted them but after calling around, indeed the 3 largest dealerships are not taking deposits yet. They only have a "interested in M4" list.

I've told my CA I'm very interested. Aside from that I don't see the point in reserving my spot. If you are a true BMW fanatic and want to own the first model of every new M3 release, God bless ya and get on that list.
Otherwise, I'll go the old fashioned way and test drive one first and aim to own it well after it first comes out. Also: Understanding about ED, it seems like doing an ED of an M3 would not steal an allocation from a dealer but would be an un-allocated sale for that dealer. ED might be the best option for an early M3 ownership experience. |

But I also believe GM and Mercedes are trying even harder. I'm calling to get on the list today, but I want an escape plan if this car turns out to be a turkey. |

Deposit?
Put my deposit down 8 months ago at #3 spot. I had first E46 & E92s in Oregon and I never regretted it. Deposit is refundable if I were to have a change of heart, but don't think that will happen.

We all have different reasons for choosing to be an "early adopter". For me, I am interested in having a unique experience and, on paper, the M4 is the right vehicle. Add to that ED in my wife's native country, visiting family and driving the Ring...priceless. I would much prefer to test drive first (heck, I can't even find a 435 stick to test drive), but may not have a chance to do so before the European wedding we're attending in July. Based upon what I've read about the M4, I suspect BMW has created another very capable performance vehicle; they've already earned my trust based upon my past experiences. And that is why, even if I negotiate a great price, I will still be willing to pay far more for a BMW than a Kia (not to pick on Kia). And, yes, I may even do it sight unseen. |

I kind of understand this...I'm wavering between a F Type, M3, a motorbike, a M5, and some other cars. I could live with any of them, so I'm just going to test drive them all.

I just got confirmation from my military sales (www.superiormotorsmsp.com) that my order will be in the batch with the launch dealer cars.

I'm excited to see what the new C63 (or whatever it'll be called next) will be like. I'm also interested to see the new Mustang. However I hardly think I'll like them more than the new ///Manimal.
