Possible delays for US M4 GTS

[M3tallicar]

My car's been built since last month but it's part of the stop sale, wouldn't be surprised if people with later build dates will slip even more with how many cars are in the queue for the fix.

You may be right on that one.

I did just get confirmation from my Dealer that their allocation car just went to 152 status from 150 and they have a production date of 09/06. It's a Frozen Gray car.

I am glad to now hear that my car is in port in my country, delivery time is very soon i guess. Those have the late build GTS will i guess have all things solved, so nice in some ways.

So this is after the date range for the diff issue. Mine is also frozen and been told this is the normal timeline. As mentioned before, I believe the protracted time is because of the Garching mods our cars get. I wonder where/if the August "shutdown" comes into play here too....?

Thanks, hope you get yours soon aswell!

That seems about right if there is the August shutdown. However there appears to be more than 3800 cars affected than BMW stated for the rear diff.

It's just a little disheartening to get this car almost a year later and then wait till Spring to really drive it in the Midwest after being notified of getting the GTS through the voucher system. If I knew it would have taken this long then I would have not sold my i8 so quickly and enjoy it over the summer. Frustration starting to set in.

Got a text today and got a VIN! Sounds like things are on track. Now it's like Christmas Eve when I was a kid but it'll last over a month

That's awesome!!! Maybe there is some hope for me

My AW voucher car started production on 7/20 and was just completed and awaiting transport on 8/26. It's estimated completion date was 9/5. I'm hoping the system updates with an estimated ship date tomorrow. Can't wait!

Mine's a voucher car, built, Status 155 since 7/5. Vin xxx766, so close to the 3 on the market, 713, 716, and 717 that have been delivered.
Nobody knows where mine is. I want the clubsport, so wfk.
Wheels sitting at dealer, no car.
Haven't seen good pic of wheel itself, here's mine on only seam.
Nice enough to put in office and leave Trans-Am snowflake Satans on car

You vin is actually pretty far off from the other delivered cars. That K5787xx vin range is only for North American (USA and Canada) cars. Other regions will all use a different vin range. So it means there are 50 north American cars in between yours and the ones delivered. But not counting cars produced for other regions.

Same situation. I have rims but no car yet. At least yours is in production.

True, but mine's built. What, there are 8-9 delivered in Canada, 3 on market here, so assume (WAG) 20% flips, that's maybe another 15 cars delivered, and we're at 35? cars on ground.

I had a pre-production E36 M3 in '94, 00016, 2/94 prod (Dinan got 17). Actual full production started 4/94. Early VIN's hop around some, as racers get some cars early too.

I've got SEMA slot for the car, just need to have time to get ready, or I send something else. Frustrating.

The Canadian cars including mine got pushed up in the production schedule because they needed it to have it ready for our European tour this past May.

Yea, it's frustrating, what dealer?
