If this is true....maybe they're thinking about losing customers? or like someone else said have everyone dish out $5k+ for the color they want.

I have always wanted Interlagos. That said, I continue to be surprised by how many folks go out of their way to tell me how cool they think my Yas Marina F80 is.

They might add in that new Mediterranean blue on the 3er lci.. it's a deeper blue. Who knows

So let me ask a question then seeing I'm getting multiple answers from multiple client advisers.

If I order a 2016 in July when can I expect it to arrive?

I'm looking for an educated answer I guess. Anyone can say August or September but how do you know?

Also when do the 2016 hit the bmw website?

[F80NJM3]

Same beast under the hood? Cool. I'll enjoy my 2015

Million times better than the e9x cupholders lol

Going by all the members paying $5k for individual paint. I don't blame them for not offering any good colors.

Nevertheless, I'm still intrigued what color changes we will see. It could be none, one or several.

These new colors YMB & AY have never really gotten wide appeal based on the numbers. I've read and seen reviews calling the colors, smurffy like, baby poop and hideous. So the latest two additions coming out of BMW to add to the line up seems about right. Adding to a low public acceptance factor.

Will the Pyrite Brown still be there? I think I've read somewhere that these 2 new colors will be added to Tanzanite Blue and Azurite Black (does this mean that Moonstone and Pyrite Brown will be removed?).

Here is an awesome new feature. Should provide greater help when trying to avoid scraping the front bumper:

The Parking Assistant also includes the new Auto PDC function, which allows the Park Distance Control to switch on automatically when approaching an object at the front and display the remaining distance. When traffic jam situations with stop-start traffic are detected, the Auto PDC function is deactivated.

That topaz wasn't what I was expecting at all.

<----------(E46 topaz blau owner)

Not really digging the extra chrome either especially over the glovebox.

<----------(E46 aluminum trim owner)

So much disappoint.....I'm sure I'll get over it by the time next year when I put in my order. Just hope they don't remove tanzanite blue (#1) and moonstone (#2).

On the bright side, I'm fine with the taillights. No preference for either.

Oh, one thing I forgot to add. Any mention about mounting points for a bike rack for the CF roof?

Can anyone confirm when is the soonest time one can order an f80? MY15 or 16 doesn't matter. I read that there's no more allocations for 15s and that you would have to wait until mid-end of July to put in an order for a 2016

I'm looking for the same answer on a 16 and when we can expect delivery.

Good luck finding a 15 allocation. I've looked near and far...I sourced one but they weren't moving off of msrp and low balled the shit out of my trade.

The thing is my situation is a bit complicated. I'm leasing the car from a broker and was told he would put the allocation in this week and I would receive the car in 2 months but he hasn't gotten back to me and he's hard to get a hold of so now I'm deathly afraid I'll have to wait until 2016MY allocation which means I'll maybe have to wait 4 months

Don't get too frustrated. I ready the comp package ZCP a will be released mid '16 cycle. I'm not buying the F8X until they bring it out.

Is the cupholder cover available anywhere now?

That's the 2016 version? The M3 version doesn't slide like the F30?

I feel your pain. First world problems right...haha. I've been taken for a ride by my local dealership that said they could do a dealer trade no problem then when that didn't pan out they said they would just get me a May allocation. Here I am 3 weeks later with nothing to show for. Oh well. I don't mind a 16 but I don't intend on taking delivery then paying insurance and making car payments on top of that while it sits in a garage for the winter. Like I said first world problems

Yeah, with all the things they've done to the M nameplate, the wrong shade of red, blue or silver will cause them to lose customers.

The ordering dilemma alone is causing me to look at other brands new and used priced between 60k and 70k... a lot of options out there. I don't want to give up just yet though.
