Ugh crossing fingers for a friday (or monday) release!

I get that programming (lease factors) havent been released yet... but cmon already, they gotta know what they're charging for these things by now... why the delay in the ordering/pricing guide?? They better not be pushing off production to August now. lol

Encanto · 06-02-2017, 08:20 AM

Guides will be available early next neek...

This is a very confusing roll out of the MY2018 M3 orders so we are all trying to make sense of this mess...

I see so many of you are ahead of me in the process. I placed my long awaited order and made the $1K deposit this morning. The wait now begins for a production number. Pricing isn't available yet either, as you've all noted. I took 2017 numbers/build and negotiated a percentage off msrp and m performance parts that way. I'll do the same when pricing is confirmed. I imagine that won't become available for several more days/weeks?

I went with Sakhir Orange II w/the full black leather and carbon fiber trim interior. I also went with the DCT. I love MT, but w/DC traffic...I've had enough of that. The DCT is pretty damn good anyway.

Added Packages:

1. Competition Package (I went with the 19 Inch forged black double spoke wheels instead of the 20 inch comp package wheels...just wasn't a fan of how they looked in person. I will say the 2018 will offer the 20 inch comp package wheels in black as well, I just wasn't much of a fan, but that's a change from MY17).

2. Driving Assistance Package (looks like there's no more driver assistance "plus" package and no more lighting package. A lot of what was in the lighting package and the driver assistance "plus" package is spread out between this package and the Executive Package).

3. Executive Package (has the adaptive LED lights, auto high beams, side and top view cameras, etc).

I also got the CF front splitter and rear diffuser, CF spoiler, the MPE, CF mirror caps (comp package already adds the black/shadow line kidney grille) and the M Performance electronic steering wheel (because, why not?).

It'll be a pretty fun car, especially on track days. One surprising thing...no option to add the carbon ceramic brakes. I am/was on the fence about the CCB. CCB are great for tracking, but can be a pain in the ass on cold days. They're also expensive, but I don't really care about that...they don't wear, don't leave dust, don't fade when hot, look great, and perform well once warmed up. The main complaints from drivers other than price are that you lose pedal feel at low temps/when brakes are cool, and you get brake noise (squeaking) at low temps/brakes are cool. I don't really mind those things...but then again, the regular M breaks are fine...so yeah, on the fence. If they add the option later on when I get my production number and have a chance to tweak the order, maybe I'll revisit, but it doesn't seem like its an option right now.

Let me know if you have any questions. Hope I get a production number soon...

Hmmm it's Monday...anyone have any updates?

Nothing

It's almost borderline ridiculous, we are three weeks from sop and no order guide? Maybe BMW should stop making millions of terrible models and focus on their bread and butter

How would they have money to develop that bread and butter without revenue from millions of terrible models?

Jaymax85 · 06-05-2017, 08:50 PM

I'm feeling lucky about tomorrow!
