Ordered: TVM(299)/Full Tartufo G80
Hello Again,
Like the last generation, I spent much time lurking on G80 Post since this generation debuted. I quickly warmed up to the grille and heard whispers that the X-Drive version would come out. I typically go through cars like underwear, but I had an excuse to wait. I had no reason to jump into a car so soon, especially since the world went to hell in a handbasket, so I figured it would be best to wait for a refresh. I considered waiting until 2025 MY was released, but I didn't feel the changes were worth the wait. Very different from the the F80, where LCI was a massive change. The closest I got to breaking my restraint was in 2022, but the wife wanted an RV so we could go "glamping." We picked up a 2022 Ram to tow our new 40' 5th wheel around, so I had yet another reason not to rush into getting another car. Rates took a turn for the worst in 2023, but now that we've paid those off along with my GT350, there was no real reason to wait anymore. Rates still suck, but I still have some time to get a better deal if Papa J-Powell and his friends get a little more dovish. When I went through the same process in the last generation, these order threads helped the time pass. It helped me relax and exercise patience, knowing that others were right there with me, waiting for the same thing. I also feel like these help others be resourceful in finding out information about their upcoming delivery and where it's at in the process. I feel like I would be doing the community a disservice by not posting this for others. It brings a sense of "community" before you even take delivery. Here is the link to my old thread, which ended up being a repurposed thread for my second F80, and I was able to post a lot more about the process. Link to my old order thread on F80 Post. 2024 M3 Competition xDrive Configuration
Here we are, sitting in "Status 102". TL;DR for those who don't feel like reading the word castle: I'm getting back into an M-Car. PS: Big shoutout to Day Laborer, who secured me a 2024 allocation in the same state within 24 hours over a weekend. He made the search much easier, as my local dealer has a long waiting list.

Subscribed! I debated getting TVM but ultimately settled on BRG. Great build, looking forward to seeing pics when you have it.
Cheers! |

You as well! Admittedly, I was unsure how this would go as I’ve never dealt with a broker before.
Much easier than expected, and I’m glad I did it. Quote:
BRG is so classy… I’d love an Estate (Touring) in BRG like Joe Achilles.

Excited to see this color combination! I picked Techno Violett as my individual paint, but did Silverstone on the inside.

Funny that i am not the only one who debated between these two colors. I picked Techno Violett first then wavered and thought about changing to BRG.

I’ve had a brown leather kick lately, and the only way you were getting it last time was to Indy that too.

Thanks - I am super excited for it! Tartufo looks great, but I have an F30 with the classic BMW tan interior so I steered clear of warm colors this time. My dad had an F10 with the cinnamon brown interior - that looked great!

Truth be told, if BMW AG was accepting Yas, I’d probably do it again… but, admittedly it’s not as good of a fit as it was last generation. I will say that I’m only basing this off of the handful of others that have been rejected, so I didn’t feel like it was worth a shot. All that matters know is that I’m still checking off a “bucket list” color. Quote:
I don’t blame you! I’m in a phase where I’m all about the tan/brown leathers. My truck is the same way, but I love it.

I would have loved to have gone below, but it can be rather difficult as the dealer I usually order from has a line and the nature of the market really doesn’t give the buyer too much positioning when they can’t even keep inventory. I’ll try and leverage whatever incentives are available at the time, but that’s about all you can do. I’m sure if you dig enough, you’ll find someone below, but I wanted to stay 2024 and that really narrows ability to wheel and deal.

I have yet to see that color in person but I know it'll be stunning. |

Just saw your post saying it was released to the carrier. Congratulations, I’ll be following your build for sure. We’re gunna have to meet up or something. I used to come out to Houston a bunch for GT350 stuff, and before that I used to go for the defunct M-Gruppe meets. I see you went with the HAS! Debating on going with that… but I do have my own show with a lift, so I’m on the fence about it.

Now, with more PCD! (Still 111)
In keeping with the spirit of these order journals, I wanted to take a moment to provide an update and clear up any confusion or misinformation about PCD. Some of this info was included in this thread.
The dealership I'm working with has been super transparent and has provided me with updates during each step of the process. Here are two emails from PCD sent to my CA today after they put my request for PCD in CenterNet. You'll notice that they acknowledged it, but they came back and noted that imported models must have a work order complete date with the VPC before scheduling. BMW Performance Center Experience - Reservation Request Received BMW Performance Center Experience - Reservation on Hold I've attached Bulletin # PCD-2024-01-31 here, which supersedes Bulletin # PCD-2023-11-16 . This starts with a high-level overview of the program changes and the process, along with some guidelines. The summary below is from the BMW CenterNet portal. Quote:
I hope this was of some value to you and that it will set some of you up for success going forward.

Just moved to 112!
Genius says, "Week of 4/7/24", which is a little confusing since that's a Sunday, so it's either Week 14 or 15. 2/12/24 102 Special Order (no Prod Week) 2/19/24 111 Order Accepted at AG 3/15/24 112 Scheduled for Production x/x/24 (TBD) Status 150 Production Begins x/x/24 (TBD) VIN Assignment x/x/24 (TBD) Production Ends x/x/24 (TBD) At The Port, Awaiting a Vessel x/x/24 (TBD) Vessel x/x/24 (TBD) Arrived at the Port of Brunswick, GA x/x/24 (TBD) VPC Work Order Complete x/x/24 (TBD) PCD Arrival x/x/24 (TBD) PCD

Don't weeks in US start on Sunday? I had to force my Outlook calendar to start a week on Monday.
Coincidentally, I just moved to 112 today as well with build week 15, so our cars may be built in the same week. You will get yours sooner, though, since I am on the West coast. Good to see that the individual color slowed you down only by about 2 weeks. I put my order in on 2/24, for 6MT IOMG with Silverstone. Last edited by radm; 03-15-2024 at 06:52 PM.. Reason: typo |

I am also doing PCD, so there is added time there so we may end up seeing our cars around the same time.

Just wanted to share pics of how the color looks after a wash. This was a few weeks ago. My car is currently getting PPF and ceramic. Tint appointment next week.
