Do you have an allocation? Do you have a build sheet which lists FDG as the paint color (with a price)?

My understanding is that BMW need to accept the individual colour order so just because you can enter it in doesn't mean you can get it. I hope you guys do get this colour as it's amazing and really shows off the lines of the G80. |

My dealership made the proper request and it is signed. Now have to wait the job number to add to the paper. And we have the job number since Friday! |

I will try to reply the best I can because France is not like US where you have thousands of true M cars sold every year. That was the case until few years ago but now, because of climate crisis, you have to pay 40k€ in taxes (50k next year) for such cars. To add to the car price + VAT. For example, my car build will be, in total, just under 180k euros, incl. 50k for climate tax + 20k for VAT. BMW France offers 20K on the car so it will be 160K. Without this "help", I would never have accepted to give 50K just for climate tax. So now you can understand there are not a lot of M cars sold here since 1 - 2 years. I would be the first M3 for my dealer for this year, and they only sold a few M4. And my dealer is a big one, in the 7th city of France. So when I talk about allocation, this is not apparently a concern or a reality here. I have to go deeply in that to understand that with them. But what I know is I have a "job number" now so it means the order has been accepted apparently. I don't know what job number means in US... the same ? order bank ? something else ? This job number is what goes on the Individual paper i signed for FDG. Here it seems we only have 'average delays', not really allocations, because they don't see thousands, even hundreds true M cars in France. MY SA showed me the BMW France official notes for dealers and says 6 months for M3/M4 as the 1st of July) For the build sheet, I signed my configuration at the dealership and that was entered for the BMW factory and as I have a job number, I guess it's all ok. Is this what you call build sheet ? Or is it something you download from the factory software ? But perhaps you have more intel for me on all that. Looking to your reply (replies) and will call anyway my dealer tomorrow as it's only SA who texted me during his holidays saying we already have a job number, that means to him "the car has been accepted by the factory and has to be produced". Cheers, Franck |

So, unless the factory says STOP, there is no reason it should not go to the end of the process. |

The first is build sheet with a handwritten note from the dealer. The second is fully generated by BMW, which confirms the color has been accepted by BMW. Note: For me, the price appeared as 'Blocked' until the car hit 150 (in production) status. If your dealer can give you a sheet like the second image, you should be in good shape. If not, then it may indicate the order has not yet been officially accepted.

Hi guys,
That's what I feared when reading all this forum and before posting : BMW Individual France really made a mess and granted me the order withour checking with the factory. So FDG is not possible, for anyone. So back to Skyscraper Grey for me. |

Hope for us is Hybrid sport like the Ferrari SF90 (no tax at all !) as the system is only based on CO2 emissions. The M3 will clearly be my last 100% combustion engine sport car. The value will be sky high after At least the market takes it into account, if I have to sell my M3 one day, I will get back a large part of this 50k tax. |

Well that's unfortunate. I got my hopes up and asked my dealer to check with BMW Individual on this. Now it's back to trying to decide between SSG, DG and BG. I would love to understand what was BMW's thought process behind discontinuing such a nice colour.
