Also i got info from BMW that they have some issues with yellow light and that future deliveries will be probably same light as “normal” M3/M4 units..still not confirmed 100 percent.

Sounds concerning

Deda Have you heard any other details at all about what is going on with the yellow lights and why they are changing to regular lights ?

If true, this would suck… yellow lights are specifically called out in the press release.

So were Cup2Rs and confirmed on my build sheet. Both my CA and myself contacting BMWUSA have gotten nowhere. Just a virtual shoulder shrug and feigned empathy. I felt a little better when BMW told Camisa he'd have to do his track battle on the 4S from an availability standpoint. Should have never happened, someone dropped the ball or something went sideways with Michelin. Meanwhile the 3.0 CSL gets a special "50" mold. With that said, the CSL lights are not consumables and would be extremely surprised if they shipped CS without them.

Damn, I didn’t hear anything about Cup2’s not being available either. My build is supposed to come with them. Guess I’ll be reaching out to my CA…

Not sure if they are currently not available for new builds, but worth asking.

For sure, I just texted him. My CS is a week 25 build so I assumed it would’ve started production this week but I’m still on 112.

My CA or sales manager confirmed that they haven’t heard anything about any CS features/options not being available for this production run. Hopefully this is just a dirty rumor 🤣

Week 27 and I think they bumped me up a touch, I I wouldnt be surprised to not see it come with the Cup 2s but I would be very surprised if it didnt come with yellow headlights. I have a hard time believing that tbh...

My uncle works for BMW and told me this.

And who cares about the Cup 2s. They should have substituted Trofeo R's instead then. Much better tire anyway.

He told you about the yellow lights issue? any more details, e.g. when the production cutoff is after which they stop getting the yellow lights?

The point is they’re making substitutions with the street tire when r comp is specd without any communication.

Correct I would like to think they would at least communicate or make it right once they were able to get the correct yellow lights they were supposed to have.

However with the looks of the last 3 or 4 models I'm a little worried about the brand TBH. Not worth stressing over though yet though IMO.
