Really depends on your location, but Miami has plenty of options so you should get some competitive quotes. To do the full car you should be able to get around $4-5k in your area.

Yeah, just spoke to a genius, it's still at 45 weeks for me. Was it tough to get the Tartufo buckets? They look so good.

Thank you! Once the car is making it's way here, I'll probably start shopping around to get quotes.

Full xpel $6500, in Seattle area. Less expensive if I’m willing to drive way out to get it. There are cheaper shops $4700 was one but not perfect rep so decided to steer clear.

Clear coat adds another $1000 or up to $2000 if paint correction is extensive

Nope, super easy. My SA had already ordered them before so he knew what to do.

I am overjoyed. This is a moment I've been waiting for a long time.

M3 Base
6MT
Tanzanite II (yes, will PPF)
Full Tartufo w/carbon fiber
Sunroof (this is my canyon car)
M-professional, Red calipers
No extended shadow line

My great appreciation to all of you who have helped me learn about successful ordering, allocation, and getting the spec that's true and right for me.

I’m ordering an M4 in TB II with tartufo. Is still in scheduled for production status I’m having a hard time deciding on the wheels. Currently, I have the 825 bi color spec’ed but I’m going back-and-forth on those, the 826 bi color or the 826 black.

I went bi color for summers, as I don’t do extended shadow line and wanted some contrast. Winters though will be all black.

Nothing wrong either way. Purely about what you like. Worth seeing in person before you choose.

Ha edited my typos but not in time. I wish I could see the 825s in person. My winter wheels are black and my current 22 M4 has the 826 in black so was thinking a little variety. Keep changing my mind, like you say can’t really go wrong with 825 or 826 in bi color or black.

If we're scheduled for week 45, when should we expect delivery?

[moriluvatar]

Your guess is as good as anyone else else’s.

From my time on the forums and reading about a West Coast specific delivery, I have some general observations.

Generally, the process from production completion to delivery in the U.S.apparently takes about 8-10 weeks.

Here’s a breakdown:

1. Production Duration: Once your car enters production, it usually takes about 2 weeks to complete the build.
2. Shipping to the U.S.: After production, the car is transported to a port in Germany (like Bremerhaven), and it can take up to 2 weeks for it to be loaded onto a ship, depending on scheduling and port traffic.
3. Ocean Transit: The shipping itself usually takes around 3-4 weeks to reach a West Coast port (e.g., Port Hueneme, CA), including transit through the Panama Canal.
4. Customs and Processing: Once your car arrives at the port, it will need to clear customs and undergo Vehicle Distribution Center (VDC) processing, which can take 1-2 weeks.
5. Final Delivery: After processing, the car will be transported to your dealership, adding another 1-2 weeks.

Given this, if your production begins around mid-November (week 45), you should expect delivery by mid-January to early February 2024, assuming there are no major delays.

All kinds of stuff can affect the timing from part availability to bad weather to the occasional labor strike so your mileage may vary.

Thanks to everyone who gave me some of this feedback so I could put something like this together.

Yeah a few people were bumped up to a earlier week. Looks like BMW is ahead of schedule and has some more bandwidth for the next couple of weeks.
