How many G8x in MKE?

Just thought I'd post here and see how many people are in the metro Milwaukee or Wisconsin areas and either have an M3 or M4 or are ordering one currently. Would be great to have us all meet up sometime.

Agreed. Photography is also a hobby of mine so I wouldn’t mind taking some pictures.

Been at the port in Bremerhaven for about 2 weeks. RAM still open so it’s going to be a while.

Hard to say but parts shortages and shipping delays I’d say. It took 2 months from when I got my production number to when it started production. Took about 3 weeks to build then got stuck in quality check status for 7-8 weeks. Got to the port in Bremerhaven about 2 weeks ago. Most cars have the RAM (receiver audio module) stop sale which usually takes 2-4 weeks to get installed once the car arrives in US. Some cars go through all these stages quicker and it’s hard to say what holds many of them up but likely due to options. M4s seems to take longer than M3s. If I had to guess I’ll get my car late Jan to mid feb so the whole process from order to delivery will be around 7 months.

that's a long time. Maybe I got lucky and maybe I will be waiting a LONG time but I only ordered in Nov and my car should enter production at the beginning of Jan. After that, who knows what will happen with supply chain issues. I wouldn't mind getting the car in spring, I don't need a third set of winter tires just yet.

Mine was shipped with RAM stop sale and fixed in US VPC. Maybe yours will too?

For me there was a month or so delay for individual paint. I was almost to production then was pushed back to earlier status for a month.
Once it got out of paint it flew until QC which was at least a week.
I waited about 2 weeks to catch a boat which added some extra time.

I also was going to take PCD of the car but due to a family emergency I had to cancel that and had them ship the car up from SC VPC. That added about a week or so too.

I have seen a gray M4 once crossing Moreland rd in the opposite way.

I'm in Madison but visit MKE somewhat frequently. I'm still waiting on my M4, but I hope to have it within the next month or two. I'm game to join some C&C once I've got it!

Ericj the wait sucks but it’s worth every minute . These cars are amazing. Took mine 8 months from order to delivery. Looking forward to warmer weather and meeting up in the coming weeks.
