Thanks. But judging by the stories shared on this thread my car may share a similar fate as yours. When did it begin production? Did you find out about the delay by calling BMW genius? Thanks!

Apprently the individual colors are painted in batches, so thus the reason for the delay/production dates being moved back.
The 2019 MY M4 SOP is 7/2018.

Well, instead of waiting, made a great deal with my dealer on the BSM/SO that was sitting on the lot and now I put 200 miles on it in one day.
Go to the store - sure honey. Forgot milk - sure honey. Forgot bread - sure.... pick up the kids - sure...ah, wait, kids not allowed in Absolutely love the car. |

Anybody here had their build week pushed back multiple times? My TB M3 was initially supposed to be week 14. Each time I've called, the estimate gets pushed back by 3 weeks. They're saying week 23 now.
I'm afraid to call again. |

Could also be due to the M3 CS colors affecting the factory paint process.

I changed from TB to YMB and my car started production on 3/29. I kept getting pushed back from week 14 to week 16 to week 18 to May 20th.

Just called the genius and got the same. I place my order end of January and passed on a black M3 on the lot at the time. Starting to regret that decision.

Everyone here got me nervous! I went from week 4 to week 14 to week 18. Now seeing all others going even further, I really am just starting to look at other cars. I called BMW Genius today and they are still saying week 18, but I have a feeling I will end up getting pushed with everyone else. It would only make sense for them to make all the Tanzanite cars, at the same time.
Last car I ordered was Azurite Black and that took 3 months from order to delivery (and I thought that was long). This order is really getting ridiculous.

I was told that my car would go into production first week in April. When I called I was told it would not go into production until June with Mid-July delivery. My 2015 M4 comes off lease June 2nd but I was told I could extend the lease since I had another car on order.
At the moments my options are: 1. Extend the lease on the 2015 and wait for the 2018 to be built/ 2. Return the 2015 on June 2nd and wait for the 2018 to be built/ 3. Return the 2015 on June 2nd and cancel the order for the 2018.

That's part of the reason I changed color.

I am not going to change the color. I either don't care for or have already had the other colors and I want something different. I guess I will just be patient and extend the lease on my 2015 if I have to. It is in showroom condition and has less than 20,000 miles on it so I will patiently (well maybe not patiently) wait for the 2018 Tanzanite Blue F83 to be built.

I just called and mine is still planned for week 23. Your order is for an M4 correct? Mine is for an M3 and my allocation came through the first week of March. Bummed to hear of your delay. But maybe we're finally honing in on actual production weeks, 23 for M3 and 25 for M4? Anyone else call recently?
