Hi, so I'm finalizing my build. Can I get a sanity check? Also, any thoughts on interior to get? Haven't decided, although that Silverstone/Black looks sweet!


NA M3 Competition - $72,800
U94/2 Fire Orange Paint - $5,000
ZPK Parking Assistance - $800
ZPX Executive Package - $3000
IU0 Black, Non Runflat Tires 826M - $0
3M_ Blue Brake Calipers - $0
3MF Shadowline Lights - $300
453 Front Ventilated Seats - $350
4MC Carbon Fiber Trim Package - $950
Destination Fee - $995

Total $84,195.00

I've decided to skip the exterior carbon package, and the carbon seats for convenience/ ventilated seats. Anyway, lemme know your thoughts!

Also haven't decided on AWD or RWD, but I guess that depends more on the build month. If I get pushed out to June/July, then I might as well wait for the AWD. I imagine the AWD will be....$3,000 more?

Yup 👍🏼

I am also trying for a Fire Orange. Where did you get your profile pic by the way?

I have an early allocation (either a november or december build most likely).

I am going to submit Fire Orange and if they say no, i'll settle for Frozen Portimao Blue.

I am doing silverstone interior as well, for what it's worth.

the CF seats are hard to pass up for me. have you had the ventilation seats before in a BMW? IF not, what are your expectations for them? for me they really dont do much, they help with sucking up some of the moisture but nothing super over the top like cooling you down drastically. Since you are looking at build week next year in June July you will have a lot of time to check the cars out in person and see if any option catch your eye to remove or add

While trying to see if the Kyalami Orange was a match or close to it for Fire Orange (It's not sadly), I played with the SPY car from the launch photos. Think I got it pretty close to the F80 FO.

Fingers crossed on that, I don't think you'll get it in a DEC build though, think you'd have to wait until March or so based on what I've been told.

I can see why, but unless I sit in them and try them out, I don't think I can justify them. If I get the chance, you never know, I might fall in love with them. And I've never had ventilated seats before; The reason I want them is because one of the worst things I hated in my F32 was how hot the black seats got. I don't expect them to actively cool me, but to cool the seats quicker so it's not just about painful to sit in on a 90 degree day. Is that a reasonable expectation?
Also you're right, looking forward to seeing what people do.....any idea when my "final answer" so to speak is locked in?
Finally, when is the price negotiated, at deposit time, at build time, or when the car actually comes in? Thanks!

you will want to lock in pricing and programing before you place your order so you are not negotiating things when the car comes. With BMWFS they allow you to lock in rates for 60 days east coast and 90 days west coast. Def dial in all your pricing etc.. and get it all in writing when you place your order. Also make sure when you order the dealer has an allocation and not just telling you there are delays etc.. if they have an allocation they will give you a production number. Who knows what programming and allocations will look like on these in June July I guess we will have to wait and see

Fire Orange is a beautiful choice! It must be really hard to skip the carbon fiber exterior package because it'll pop on such color! But it's $$$ specially if you're adding another ~$3k or so for AWD.

Most of us are budgeting $3k for AWD but based on the German pricing of 4k euros it might end up being $3.5k to $4k

If it pushes it back to March, so be it. My CS lease is up in April. I can't stand the current pallet of colors. SPY isnt a real yellow, it's a lime green, IoMG is too dark and boring, all the blues are boring (my SMB CS bores me), so I settled on Frozen Orange before finding out it's unavailable (at least initially) in the US.

Can you post a full res photo of whatever you did on the SPY yellow? I think you got it 99% right and it looks great!

C'mon man, you know you hold out that long, right? I think it's worth it!

That's exactly my reasoning.....I'd rather go for features (technology) that can't be retrofitted or aftermarket-ed later, you know?

[Foun84]

Ordered mine in Fire Orange!

So now I'm first in line at my local dealer, put down a refundable $1K deposit to reserve my spot for the AWD (model year 2022). Now we wait.....

Any input on when AWD cars will start being delivered to customers? I'm guessing September 2021 but that's only based on an assumed start of production of June/July!

If they roll off the line as planned in July then you would be looking at the normal ~6-8 week trip from Bremerhaven to your local dealer.

I suppose the only hiccup would be if bmw has some special marketing launch planned and holds them at port. But I don't think they would hold the cars it just might be a case of them getting into consumers hands at the same time as press drives are released... (which is looking likely to happen with the RWD M3/M4 launch)

My rep is saying pretty much the same. Allocations expected June/July for an August/September delivery.

Ahhh how I miss this color... Right choice with such a outrageous looking design! Unfortunately it doesn't go as well with the current M5 so didn't go with it...

As for ventilated seats.. Really try to reconsider it! I've had it in the older BMWs as well as my current F90. BMW has not improve them over the years... Still weak/ almost feel like it doesn't exist on the highest settings. On hot summer days barely do ANYTHING at all. At most it gave me the wet butt feeling, not pleasant!

If the CF bucket seats can be option together I'd say go for it. But since they can't be combined don't give up the amazing Bucket seats over mediocre ventilated seats!

(It's really down to how BMW execute the ventilated seats... If you were to get Merc or Lexus I'd recommend them!)

They're really that crappy eh? I guess the only thing holding me back on the CF seats is the price, not sure I can justify 3K on seats. To me that'd probably be better spent on winter rims and tires, as I live in the north east.

I see! From the looks of it the standard seats should be similar to that of the F90 in my M5. Plenty supportive and comfy, lots of adjustments. Buckets seats will sure lock you in the seats better, but I’m pretty sure people get it more so for the looks and street cred
Whether that justifies the price tag that’s up to you!

Before I ordered Lucky, my f80 the fire orange was the color I wanted, its my absolute fav individual color, your built looks awesome!

we have the same tastes. I tried to order verde mantis but the F80 went out of production before I could finalize my order (i ended up with a CS).

Then, on this one I tried to Fire Orange but they wouldn't approve it on an early allocation (my build is any day now).

For my next G80 I'll do either Verde Mantis or Fire Orange.

You staying with your F80 or you jumping to a G80 at some point?
