Have you pre-ordered a 2014 M3 or M4?

BMW Haus · 10-28-2013, 02:17 PM

Going to place a preorder on a M3 Saturday and test drive a X5d for wife! Super excited these will be our first bimmers. Can not wait to post pics and share reviews.

M4 will be on the list after one year production due of the bugs on the first year.

The problem is that you really need to wait more like 2-3 years before most of the problems are discovered, analyzed, and fixed. Waiting a year is certainly better than buying the first model year, but you're still very much in the danger zone. It's typically LCI or even a year after LCI (depending on what they did for LCI...) when things get really good.

American cars still seem to be in trouble in terms of reliability. Audi is doing amazingly well:

Actually, Audi used to be rated pretty low in terms of reliability, so rising to #4 is quite a change. They've been pretty much nailing it on all fronts (including reliability) over the last few years - very impressive. I wonder where BMW is on this Consumer Reports list. I'm not a subscriber, so I can't look it up.

you guys may have already discussed this....but are there ANY estimates about pricing yet? or even an approximate 'range'?

originalgoods13 · 10-29-2013, 01:49 PM

It is possible that it will be about $2K more than the outgoing M3

Canadian pricing will probably be around 71K for F80 and 73K for F82 (yes, I know we get gouged pretty bad up here)

mjcxp · 10-29-2013, 02:23 PM

Ordering guide appears to be live.

This was my assessment as well. Expect the f80 to be 2-3k more than outgoing e92 m3, with the M4 being an extra 2-3k more than the new M3. Extrapolated based on e90 and e92 pricing and price difference between the F30 and F32. I had a big write up analysis in one of these threads.
