Hot off the press:
Not more than half an hour ago, I received a phone call I've been awaiting for several months from my dealer.
Apparently, Australia is likely to receive between 20 and 25 G82 M4 CSLs and all dealers are now to provide "firm signed contracts" (with no price or delivery date yet), accompanied with substantial deposits with timestamps by end of this week. Allocations, according to my dealer, are said to be decided on a first-in-best-dressed basis, until exhausted.
Based on the demand, BMW Australia will decide if it will be 20 or 25 coming to our shores (although, if the demand is high, there's nothing to stop them sending 100 really).
When the M5 CS was released, we got 20 allocations in Australia. It seems reasonable to imagine the total number of M4CSLs may be similar to those of the M5CS.
Anyway, contract was signed and sent posthaste with a big grin on the face and all fingers and toes crossed
