cipri, this is a new survey for "delivered" cars, not the old one for the "ordered" cars. Submit a new survey here once your car is delivered. At the time, you won't be changing any color

Sir Loin · 06-30-2014, 07:08 PM

Another update. We are up to 26 entries. There was one entry I deleted because the delivery date is in 2015.

There are more M4s than M3s, 14 to 12. Still pretty even. I added a bunch of charts on most options. There are way more CFRP roofs than sunroofs and way more regular brakes than CCBs. As people discuss how options affect resell value, CCB might command a higher price in the 2nd hand market because there are so few of them. Same for transmissions. There are a lot more M-DCT than MT. hunting for a MT + CCB car in the future will be difficult. There is exactly 1 car in our survey that has MT + CCB.

For colors and packages, AW and black are the most popular colors, SS is the least. Black interior color is leading by a large margin. Exec package's take rate is 23 to 3. Looks like BMW's packaging scheme is working for them. There are more Full leather than Extended leather than cloth, 15-10-1. Driver Assistance Package's take rate is pretty even, 15 yes to 11 no. Meanwhile, Lighting Package has high take rate, 18-8.

To the some of the "lesser" options... Power sunshade, Park Assist, Enhanced USB/Smartphone, Concierge, has very low take rate.

Interesting that so many are opting for full leather. That's good though.

I suspect that a lot of the cars on the survey so far are dealer launch cars. If true, then they were configured by dealers and dealers usually add most of the options and packages onto them to make more money. We need more data to get a truer view. I hope all the ED folks how just took delivery in Germany last week will submit to the survey soon. Their cars were configured they way they want them.

~26 forum members have taken delivery? I feel like there should be more reviews, no?

No SO, AY, or MG as of last update, but we have new entries now that includes SO and MG. Still no AY yet.

bdoooh · 07-02-2014, 08:46 PM

Finally got around to submitting the survey! From my 06/30 delivery. And it wasn't a launch car!

Sir Loin · 07-02-2014, 10:32 PM

Thank you, bdoooh!

Sir Loin · 07-03-2014, 08:02 PM

Another update.

We are up to 33 entries in the survey. 17 M3s vs. 16 M4s. Trends are still very similar to previous update. We now have a full list of exterior colors. AW is far and away to most popular color, more than twice the second most popular color, YMB.

As a lot of you might have predicted, CFRP roof, M-DCT, Adaptive M Suspension, steel (or cast iron?) brakes, Executive package, Full leather, and Lighting package are more popular than their counterparts. Also popular are CF trim and Harman Kardon sound system.

Probably less predicted, 19" black wheels are the runaway winner in wheel style option, with a command lead of 26 out off 33. A lot of cars come with Enhanced USB/Bluetooth Smartphone integration.

Please keep the survey entries coming. Be part of the statistics!

I can't believe there are no AY cars. My car must be really ugly.
