I haven't gotten the break-in service done yet. Honestly, it's a gamble you take, and I try to pick out areas where there is less traffic and police. I'm going to invest in a radar detector and have waze up so I can have some protection. There is a place on 295 before my exit, and I can get up to 120 before I jump off. Does anyone else have suggestions?
I was born and raised in dc but left town after college so it's been about 20 years since I've lived there. I remember we would haul ass over the cabin John bridge (is it still called that) between VA and MD as cops wouldn't cross state line to get you. Or at least that was the theory for a quick run up to a high speed.

Not what it used to be, especially in Northern Virginia. They actually have undercover cops that trap you into a race and then pull you. I live in Glen Allen VA, and between county and state police, it's a gamble on your license. My insurance only went up 600 bucks, adding the M3, so I'm overly cautious. I had a guy in a C7 trying to egg me on yesterday on 95, and I just let him go.

Man I dont even mess around with speeds in Virginia unless I know for sure the roads are isolated and no cops. I already got a reckless driving charge3 years ago and it is still affecting my insurance. By this summer it should not affect my insurance and it should go back down. I will leave my fast driving to go to Dominion Raceway on Friday nights. For $20 you can drag race all night so cant wait to take my M4 once it gets warm to challenge all the Hellcats lol

I know it's illegal but a radar detector and waze is the way to go. My jib requires me to have a good driving record and I am scared to really try my car out. I'm going to get the Uniden R7 for a little protection

I'm not sure which dealer might give a tolerable experience between Passport and Alexandria. Any recommendations between the two? Alexandria might sell more M cars but waitlist is higher.

I've been a Passport customer since 2003. Six M cars and five wagons/SAVs for my wife. I've always been treated fairly. Paul Tyler is the CA for my delivered 2022 M4C and my wife's soon to arrive X4. I highly recommend the dealership and Paul.

Was there a wait-list when you ordered and how quick did you get yours?

Yeah I been looking at different radar detectors and shooting for the Valetine One V2. Out of all the ones I seen this one can't be detected with radar detector detector

Christmas in February! BMW Midlothian called yesterday and offered an allocation for a March production start for an M3 Competition. Had been on waitlist for an xDrive since late October. Since I am impatient, I took it. Hopefully, I won't have buyer's remorse...

I don't know if there was a wait list, but if there was one I'm sure I was bumped to the top given the number of cars I've either leased or purchased at Passport.

The car was ordered in late June and I picked it up at the Performance Center on September 14th.

Those guys are top notch... I initially went to West Broad and got the run around so I talked to Aaron and got a allocation. He was upfront and stayed in touch during the whole process. My car was delivered on 12/18 and am enjoying it.

Great to hear your experience was positive. That jibes with the reviews of the dealership online. Aaron has been amazing thus far.

Hm.. I got mine in Alexandria and got a production number next day. Quite surprised with no hassle, straight up msrp , was good to go.
Had mine ordered back in August and recieved delivery last month due to chip shortage wait which was about a month.
Considering others who waited 3+ months, I was lucky.

Radar Detector is a high stake risk in VA,, especially with sports car and you have VA license. there's no bargain in court from what I've seen.
Waze is pretty close but not 100% accurate as these are repored by actual users in the area but definitely more effective than any other.

Taking M4 out on a spin,, OMG there are so many idiots who pulls next to you race . And it's so funny that they cant even come close to specs.

Other day, Mustang pulled next to me constantly bugging me, gave him brief "brute power" of M4, guy shrugged off couple of cars behind me and never came near me from fairfax to south riding.

M4CX is a beast lol ~ and I though my previous F82 was a beast. The new M4 is a monster esily pulling 100 if you don't pay attention lol~

Love the new ride.

It'll be a while but Alexandria do get their allocation fairly quick than other dealer.

Congratulations and I get it, this car has so much potential and I'm 300 miles from break-in. I haven't purchased the detector yet but I am a using WAZE for now . Will you at some point get one? Only had one last person tail me onto the interstate and I let see the potential of a ass whooping.

Thanks 👍

The CA said they would aim for April production but I'm honestly not going to get my hopes up. I'll wait as long as it's the build I want.

Can't go wrong with Aaron and his team at Midlothian. That's where I picked up my F80 comp and M3CS and they have taken care of several referrals sent their way. I'm planning on going back for a new toy in the next month or two
