Finally able to enter my VIN and get the build, looks like it went into production on May 26th a couple of weeks earlier than advised.
Great to see all the options and the build is as ordered.
Now the ongoing wait!!

I have been able to add the vehicle to the My BMW app and it shows up along with a walk around and interior view, pretty neat feature.
Has been in painting for the past 2 weeks.
Also able to download the manuals, that should waste some time.

Picked up the car on Friday and going for PPF/Ceramic next Monday 9/09.
What is interesting is that it is still running iDrive 8 and goes back to the dealer on September 16 to update to 8.5, apparently not uncommon with the changeover period such as for an LCI.

Rolled it into the Brisbane dealer right on 1,980km for its 2,000km service.
I can recommend Brisbane BMW, the technician introduced himself as did the service manager and later I received a full video of the under car inspection.
The car is even more AWESOME after the service and everything in Sport + is an intoxicating sound, the downshifts almost are almost DCT like. (I still have a M2 Comp in Melbourne).
I love the car…the best M yet!
The power is unbelievable.
