This makes me wonder if the WW25/26 crowd may get lucky and that some iDrive 5.0 units from the 2017's found their way into the late 2016s during production.

I guess we'll find out in a few more weeks

Wishful thinking?

I honestly think that this delay in factory parts will just push all production slots to the right into 2017 models. We shall see.

If you have a production number for a 2016 car, you will get a 2016 car. That is what Genius and my CA both told me. He said there are twenty 2016 M4 coupes still waiting for production and shipment to the USA. I was told the factory will not shut down, or whatever they do to prepare for 2017 models, until all 2016 models are produced.

Nope. My CA is now saying I might have my 2016 by the end of July. He hasn't really been correct about anything yet so who knows. I think I'm probably the only one here that had to put $3k down for an allocation. He was adamant that I hurry up and do so the first week of April so I could get a '16 M4. Well that worked out well...Here I still sit.

What do you mean by have? As in delivered to you or entering production?

Do you have a production number for your car? When you filled out your build, then your dealer should have sent in the order, and received a production number for your car. I've had one since April 11 and mine still hasn't entered production yet. Keeps getting pushed back... If you don't have a production number yet, yes you will be getting a 2017, but there's no way your car will be delivered in the US by mid July. My 2016 won't even be here by then. Maybe by the end of July....maybe.

Yes I do. My production week was originally 20 June. Now it's 1 July...I'm expecting to have it delivered in Germany by mid July.

drexplode · 06-11-2016, 02:50 PM

Yes yours will be a 2017 then, and since its Being delivered in Germany then you probably will have it by then. I originally had May 23 production so mine will be a 2016..

Frank_NJ · 06-11-2016, 09:19 PM

Highly doubt it.

Planning on doing a euro delivery 3rd week of July. Do you guys think this would be feasible if I got a week 27 or 28 production?

I know it may be pretty tight but not sure how long it takes for these M3s to get built.

Sandow · 06-12-2016, 08:24 AM

Takes about 7-10 days for a build, if everything goes according to schedule. I know the M3 are produced in much larger facility than the M4 so they crank them out pretty quickly. You'll still be cutting it very close though.

TrevorM3 · 06-12-2016, 01:03 PM

hmmm another week starts tomorrow.... let's see bmw...

For M3, don't forget the transit time needed from the Regensburg factory to Welt, and the prep time, typically 12-16 days.

And I still sit, no movement. They must build one M4 every week.

AchtungF80 · 06-13-2016, 11:15 AM

Called genius and got my Vin, est completion date 6/26.

Weird that production began on 6/10. Old joke my car was built on a Friday.
