Potential M4 Comp Convertible
Hope everyone is off to a great week!
I'm coming in from the G05 forum. My current lease is up in May, and I've been wondering what to get next. Given the chip shortage and prolonged wait times, I wanted to check in and see what wait times others have been experiencing (if any)? I'm interested in ordering an M4 Comp Convertible basically loaded it up. Was slightly enticed by the 911 S convertible, but an M4 is faster and 50k cheaper(!). The 911 wait time is basically at 8 months. Also, my build code is ELC937BI, frozen portimao blue over the kyalami orange M carbon buckets, black wheels, and all the options except carbon brakes (not tracking). |

So actual production used to be about 3 months from allocation, but it looks like BMW experiencing more and more shortages start cutting limits for dealers. Also many many people have cars in the US already but with stop sales, because of shortages - BMW sending card w/o some parts to US and people have to wait until part will arrive at VPC and installed on the car. Some people waiting for 90 days for the part. Based on my observing I would not expect the car to be ready for you for pickup earlier than 5 months from the deposit date. |

"open technical enhancement Enhancement code 0065480300. "Retrofitting the receiver audio module" Car was held there for 10 days. That has apparently cleared. Was built after the bearing stop sale. Will see what happens a month is a long time.

Someone had posted a URL in one of these threads about the stop sale engine bearings. You could look your car up by VIN. Was not the USA site, one was in the UK not sure where the other one was.
The UK site had my car listed, the USA site did not. At some point last week the UK site blocked the URL for car status. Maybe too much traffic. Don't know if it came back up. You should be able to find it as its a pretty currant topic. Would search the big engine stop sale thread first. Will look in my history to see if I still have it.

Same story for me.
- Allocation on 8/15 - Order placed 8/16 - Production Begins 10/13 Nothing since.... I was originally Week 40 and now I believe I have been bumped to Week 41 (next week). I won't bank on it... |

FWIW
Car shipped but RAM item still shows missing on the UK site. Car will arrive in Charleston SC. If the RAM unit is still actually missing I think it will be repaired there in the ports shop. Might be another hold on the car at that point. BTW how do you find the ships name for tracking?

Though, admittedly, I am eying that new SL Merc is releasing. If the SL55 is priced around 100k, and BMW leasing continues to be terrible, I might switch to a finance and get a lightly optioned SL instead. My potential M4 build is at $110K at the moment. |

The new SL55 will be starting at $120k. I guess if you want the luxury, and you can find one, the SL may be the way to go, but the price is going to creep up fast.

Wasn't expecting this fast. I'm not going to worry about the stop sale BS, as BMW NA wants to release the cars quickly so the dealership can be invoiced. End of the day it depends on your prior BMW dealership relationship.
