the car should arrive at the dealership in early April.
it is currently at status 152, that is to say in painting.

Congrats.

Stupid question: Do you have any history with buying/owning M cars? Just curious.

Agreed. I had to take Sapphire black but would have preferred Frozen black or Frozen dark grey or whatever.

According to M GmbH (my sales guy asked if another color is possible because my car is planned for a late November production, status 111), they can only use specific colors for the carbon bonnet, not all colors are suited because of the "bonding" to the carbon bonnet structure.
I find it hard to believe but maybe...I don't know.

Sounds like bullshit. They don't put paint directly on body panels, they lay down primer first. If the primer sticks, the paint (any paint) sticks. If the primer don't stick, you don't get paint.

Curious, how many folks who got an allocation have little to no M car history?

Oh yeah baby! Theyre comin
I think the CS is gonna be a monster. I dont know how they only figure 50 more hp with extra 6 psi (24.7 vs 30.4). I bet this thing is every bit of 600 ponies stock.

If this is true, you're like the first US person with a car already.

Looks great! For some reason my order still shows a stock image, would love to see the build in my garage!

BSM, Gold wheels, Black calipers.

Late build but will be best four door bmw has ever made, even better then the M5CS, as a previous M5 CS owner. I Sold it for a 911 turbo S but I can tell by the slight weight reduction and four wheel drive with more power, the M3 CS will be the one to get.

Almost same configuration. BSM, Gold wheels and Red CCB. I think this will be a keeper and probably one of the best daily one can get.
