Hey all

Quick question for you all, has anyone here ever ordered a G80 M3 and not gotten an allocation?

All the chat on other parts of this forum re delays and allocation's stuff has me wondering if anyone in Oz has experienced the same issues.

[GregM4]

Not sure about 2022, but I ordered in August 2021 a G82 in individual paint and received the car in March 2022, and that was with a four week delay in shipping due to shipping COVID issues off Australia.

I have heard that G80 orders are more difficult than G82, at least in the US.

the usa and aus are two different markets, I dont think an allocation is an issue here it will just be how long the wait will be for delivery.

I ordered G80 October, waited for a 2022 build and delivered last week April.

It is important to order a car from a dealership with an allocation. As soon as an order is placed and matched to this allocation the vehicle can commence build. In my case dealership had a last allocation for a G80M3 Competition xDrive. I placed order on 2nd April, production number generated 2 days later and a production date was confirmed for 18th May, VIN provided 2 weeks after that. Advised 1st week in May car is at Status 190 (completed build) and a week later Status 193 (at port awaiting ship). I am over the moon and now to receive advice regarding vessel so I can commence tracking.

Based on your timeline mine should get to dealer this Thursday/ Friday

Mine was at the port for three days when it went to the Prix Car depot. It stayed there for four days before being trucked to the dealer.

I had no idea about the allocation side when i ordered my car and ordered from a dealership that didn't have an allocation. It has me concerned as they want me to deliver my trade in to them before the allocation is given.

Getting cars off the wharf will be a hit and miss thing. They wont go digging through chassis numbers to find cars and send them out in the order they arrived. They just get dumped in a yard and picked up by transport in the order of accessibility.

Damn it, my car which was due late June has now turned into late August.

Figured a delay was inevitable, but 2 months isn't ideal.

We might both be on the same ship!
Found out last weekend my G80 was at 193 too.
Can't wait for 195 status

Do you know the name of the shipping line? Hoegh or Wallenius? Please let me know thanks

Hi People,

My arrival date has moved from late June to more like late August so I am thinking really seriously about dropping the M3 and getting a used 911 Carrera T, its the other car I was tossing up before ordering the M3.

The M3 wait was already way longer than I wanted when I booked it in Jan, so now its getting ridiculous.

Can someone clarify exactly what happens if you step out of a contract? I assume these are designed to suit the manufacturer / dealer, so all the obligation is on the buyer (me) to find another buyer or go through with the transaction.

My car has the following specs:

M3 Competition XDrive
Black Sapphire paint
826 wheels black
Kyalami orange interior
Carbon interior trim
No sunroof

Options are:
M Carbon buckets
Remote engine start
Heated seats
Sun protection glazing

On road price was $176,819

Given the market I assume I can probably just reallocate to someone else if they are happy with the specs.

Mate - I checked using a tracker and the Morning Pride is sailing from Spain to London at the moment - seems strange

That's quite a good price for that spec. You'd likely be better off taking delivery and selling it for a premium.

Does anyone perhaps know what's the cut off date for the ID8/Facelift model? I ordered mine on April with a tentative delivery date for October 31st. The dealer has advised mine's likely be a early to mid July build.

M3 Comp Xdrive - Sapphire Black - Kyamani Orange interior - Full Carbon package (seats, ceramics and exterior)

Hi mate, if you decide to go down the 911 route, please reach out!

I ordered an M3C in early Feb but wanted a 2023 build so I would get the LCI - no mention of an allocation as yet - must admit was hoping for a July or August build rather than later in the year (to avoid immediate depreciation on NYE before driving it!). Will keep you posted
