Probably even more annoyingly, for some purchasers this means they order their M3 without the competition package being available and without having heard when the option will become available....only to have the option become available a few months down the line (after they can't make any changes to the order, but still months before their car will arrive).

And yes, we can continue to guess when the competition package will arrive, but anywhere from 18 months to 36 months (since we don't actually know) makes a big difference in whether people purchase now or wait.
I agree 100%. If I buy in fall 2014 and the Competition Package becomes available in fall 2015, I'll flip . But I guess from BMW's perspective, they don't want to affect sales of the base model. So I understand the logic, but it's still nerve-racking.
