Sorry for my late response. Forgot to check back in. I put the $1,000 down a week and a half ago, and my salesman told me a couple of days ago that I got in ahead of 7 people and that I am 2nd in line for an allocation. Not sure I believe it but he mentioned I should be getting an allocation sometime next month.

Anyone order from Motor Werks Barrington recently? Any idea on waitlist there or any other Chicagoland dealers? Looking to order base M3.

Joshua_J0 · 10-10-2022, 05:23 PM

Haven't really heard of anyone on the list at Fields but I joined in Sep and was told I was #12 for M3CX

SA seemed pretty confident I'd get the first batch of MY24's

slom3g80x · 10-20-2022, 09:21 AM

This is a total roller coaster for us all isn't it haha. I have my order in at orland, last I checked it sitting "5th" in line. After seeing all this, not sure how true that is

Joshua_J0 · 11-02-2022, 11:38 AM

Just joined waitlist @Barrington was told I'm 9th for M3Cx - SA seemed confident the backlog would clear Jan/Feb and I'd be able to order in March/April

Might be a good idea to join a couple additional waitlists as well. I was on Moterwerk's waitlist for 6 months before getting an allocation with another dealer.

I joined on 10/22, and was told at that time I was #3. If both my SA and Joshua_J0's were truthful, that would imply they've "sold" an M3 about every 1.5 days in the interim, which seems unlikely.

Did they make you put a deposit down?

curd · 11-02-2022, 02:20 PM

I must have gotten lucky at Motorwerks because my SA got me my allocation about 20-25 days after my deposit in late August. My car just finished production yesterday and is getting ready to cross the ocean. Brandon my SA at Motorwerks has been excellent, and when I initially placed my deposit he claimed that I had jumped past 6 or 7 people in line. The car should be here right around Christmas. If you reach out to him tell him Josh sent you!

Interestingly enough, I actually talked to Brandon around that time, and he did say that there were maybe 9 people in line at the time. I didn't see him (though found out later he was there) when I went back in October, so I worked with Ozzie.

Do you have any more context around the "jumped past 6 or 7 people in line" bit? Were they on the list with no deposit, have Individual colors that delayed their build, etc?

The only context I can give is that it was all folks who had placed a deposit on an M3X. I don't know if any were individual colors or not.

Did you pay over MSRP? If not... what do I have to do to jump the line...

Yeah I sent over my info for a deposit today

Let us know if your spot changes based on having sent a deposit. Maybe the have a larger list of people waiting, and a smaller list of people who've actually given them money.

Did not get anything from Barrington but got a build slot from Westmont yesterday after only ~1.5mo on the waitlist. Unfortunately got impatient and ended up ordering a 992 C2 instead, hoping I can help a fellow forum member out and not piss off my SA too much. It’s for an M3CX @ msrp

geko29 · 02-07-2023, 05:18 PM

So best as I've been able to surmise, Motorwerks got 10 M3 allocations in October, 2 in November, Zero in December, 1 in January, and at least 2 in February.

Why "at least" 2 in February? Because I was 2nd on the overall list last week, and I got my allocation yesterday.

Congrats!

Damn 10 allocations in October? must have made up for the 6-7 months they went without an allocation

Yeah they said they cleared almost all of their backlog right before I ordered. I think I was 3rd to order after that, which put me 5th overall.

vasillalov · 02-11-2023, 04:10 PM

Guys, talk to Elmhurst BMW. They are an M-Certified dealer. I went there and put a deposit on Jan 09, 2023 for G80. $1k deposit, MSRP, no bullshit packages and add-ons.I was first on the list. On Feb 04, 2023 I received my production number and my order status is 111. I expect to get to status 112 in the next 2 weeks or so.

Good luck everyone

CoonsA · 02-15-2023, 04:37 PM

I ordered my G80 from MotorWerks and the allocations were 'lumpy' in 2022 as well. Months would go by with little movement then a big chunk would come in and shorten the list.

I have no idea if this is actually how it works but this is what I was told.

Good luck to all!

ChiTownM · 03-16-2023, 08:33 AM

Laurel BMW just put this on the floor, first come first serve and MSRP possible….

Not my preferred color so I am passing on it and hope this helps someone out on the boards here.

Just following up on my previous comment, my car was dispatched from the factory yesterday and it is heading to port in Bremerhaven.
