Yeah, I believe for an M4 soonest is January.

I dropped my M3 allocation I had with them, don't know if that's still available.

I believe someone told me they have seperate allcations for M3 and M4's

My M4 shipped on Friday (07/25) and is supposed to be stateside on August 7th and to the dealer mid-August. I think I am less than a month away from delivery!!!

I do: Orders are being taken now and delivery will be for Late Winter Early Spring 2015.

I hope that's not the case. Can I change the delivery location to GA, to get it faster? This is getting stupid, for a car that finished production on 4 June.

K20A2_S · 07-28-2014, 05:29 PM

Who's in Houston that already received their M3/4?

The two weeks from the time the car is offloaded at Brunswick, GA to delivery to me in Dallas is an educated guess on my part. A reasonable best-case scenario would be: 2 days for Customs, 2-3 Days for VDC, at least 2 days for transport to Dallas and a half day to 1 full day for dealer to prep. That's 7 to 8 working days total. Throw in a few extra days for contingency and I'm up to two weeks. Hopefully I'm wrong and the car arrives sooner.

My timeline so far:
- June 2nd: Production starts
- June 10th: Production ends
- June 23rd: Delivery at BMW Welt
- July 1st: Drop off at LogInOut (Munich Airport)
- July 9th: Car aboard the Torrens. Torrens departs Bremerhaven
- July 27th: Torrens arrives at Brunswick, GA

Inside of 10 days from Brunswick to DFW is what I'm being told unless there are issues such as a recall campaign to perform

They sold it last week :/

I called to look at it and they sold it like two days before.

I have Austin Yellow on order with Black Interior.

Debatig on doing YMB with red or MW with red.

I have been told by 3 or 4 diffrent people who have seen AY in person that it looks great, but a part of me still wants to see all the colors I can.

UH_TX · 08-01-2014, 08:25 PM

Finally pulled the trigger on a YMB M3!!!!! Suck that my allocation is for Oct. Does a Dec delivery sound right?

I need to enjoy my time I have left with my C63

Anyone with a leather interior done any long drives? I would like to know if the perforations in the leather kept the seats somewhat cool and prevented sweating in the back. I'm considering cloth just to have that extra ventilation. I'm tired of my lower back sweating from leather seats and no air movement.

Errr yea. Get cloth. The perforations are just for decoration and they don't do squat to cool you down.

Evs motors quoted me 2600 for front bumper, full hood, full fenders, rockers and lower doors, bumper lower sides, and inside the door handles. This isn't including tint too

. And that's with my customer loyalty discount. I got another quote from Deviate auto? They did my friends black series and looked good. They only use suntek which is also self healing. I got quoted same thing with tint for 1800. I plan on using them when my car arrives.

Sorry, did you mean without tint for 1800? And if so, does that mean they're charging 800 for tint?

I am sure it was for clear bra and tint. Ceramic tint to be exact. I'll need to double check since I called a ton of places

Ahh, I see. I didn't read it correctly: two separate quotes from two places. Got it.
