I recall his order video where he sits at the desk and dramatically selects the options. Seems like only a month ago, I would say his order process was very efficient.

I'm reminded of one thing, my dealer better not drape my car for a reveal or put that stupid red bow on it. I can't believe adults celebrate in such an attention calling manner, but I guess that is what the modern world is all about.

I agree it seems silly, but when you're a professional YouTuber, it's your job to come up with this kind of ceremony and drama for content. And people do watch it, so I can't blame him.

Joe said (~0:46) that he ordered in November and picked up in March. Four months is relatively quick, but it's not unheard of. And his car didn't need to cross the Atlantic so that saves at least a couple weeks. I'm not really seeing any clear evidence of preferential treatment here.

Joe said November order and March delivery. Four months is relatively quick, but it's still reasonable. And bear in mind his car didn't need to cross the Atlantic so that saves at least a couple weeks.
It feels like he just ordered it. Weird.

Yeah it feels like that, but probably just because of delays with when he posted it. See the video ~0:46 for the timeline.

40 days from order to delivery....I think it's a shame for BMW towards its customers who are patiently waiting for their cars since months, months and months. I have mine now, but I found outrageous a treatment like this, when, as told, others are waiting without any comunication from BMW. This is the reality of things, if you're a VIP you get your car, if you're a common customer, you can wait, even if your money are the same as the VIP one.

It's a shame.

He ordered it before that's video. But he got it quickly as he didn't get stuck long in QC unlike some people

I ordered my car on July 14th, and took delivery October 19th, in California. And mine was on a vessel for 28 days, and sat at the VPC, for 8 days for a RAM stop sale. If he ordered it in November, it's a good timeframe.

He did not order the car when he posted that video, he ordered in November. 4ish months to delivery when he resides in the same continent sounds about right. I don't see much, if any, preferential treatment here.

The car didn't travel over any oceans and didn't have any delays. Plenty of people on these forums, myself included, ordered and didn't experience any delays. It's luck of the draw unfortunately.

Ordered mine nov 14 allocation nov 21 and delivery feb 14. No rhyme or reason it seems

Can't tell. Haven't seen very many pictures of it, or seen it in the light, or in person, for that matter. But, the good thing is, it's been painted on other cars, so, we may very well see it, eventually.
