Hey, have anyone in Canada been told Laser headlight will be deleted since Jan 2022, they simply cannot fulfill the order with it in Canadian Market. Restriction will not be lifted sooner.

Mine is march build. Thanks

I asked my SA about this when I got my allocation # last week and he told me something to the effect of "I think yeah there is an issue with getting the laser lights in Canada". I wasn't planning on paying $6500 for the premium pack since I didn't feel I needed anything from there anyways, but it sucks that it's not even available here because the car looks much better with them

Still waiting for my car but I am quickly losing interest when I hear stuff like this. The deletions, the wait, the price increases. BMW is beginning to piss me off again like they did when they made my e46 m3 rear axel carrier panel out of tin. This car isn't worth the headache.

I'm losing faith in BMW and not sure why they can't manage their orders more effectively. I'm picking up a Lexus IS500 tomorrow, so I have a backup car to drive.
I haven't cancelled my M3 order but if I don't hear anything in the next month I'm not sure what to do.

Interested in knowing how the Lexus IS like. It’s got a hefty amount of power and the V8 sound, but I never considered it because I wanted AWD, and IIRC aside from the engine, it’s essentially an IS350.

Oh for sure, the IS hasn't really been redesigned since 2014. The latest exterior refresh really appealed to me but I'm disappointed at how aged the interior is.
I'm buying it mainly because it's a future collector's item (1 of 500 Launch Edition) and the last of its kind with NA V8. I'm getting winter tires but slightly concerned that it's RWD only.
Oh and the 1800W 17 speaker Mark Levinson audio absolutely destroys the Harman Kardon stereo systems. Just sayin'

**Update: at this point dealership with June production is willing to make the deposit fully refundable up to the point the vehicle goes into production. I'm still working on getting the deposit truly fully refundable.
**Update** - Well after a week of back and forth with the dealer the best I could get them to agree to was a $2k fully refundable deposit until the car is put into production.

Reading through all the threads about delays and recalls I decided to bite the bullet and drop down the deposit to secure the allocation. Speaking of allocation, they did confirm that the June allocation was just that and not a spot on a waiting list...

Now the wait begins... Hopefully without all the sh*t you guys are dealing with.

Thanks for all the help fellas!

I wonder why every dealership is different with their deposit structure and terms. One dealership I went to wanted $5000 deposit non refundable, and the other dealership said $1500, cancel at any time before signing and get your refund. The second dealership specifically said "we're not gonna take you're money, if you don't buy your M3 I have 10 other people who will buy it". Which makes it weird why your dealership wouldn't budge. It's not like you bought a whacky colored 2 series GC with an off color interior

Why would they be the same? They are privately owned.

If you have a production number that should mean that you have an allocation, however you also will be assigned a VIN right before the car goes in to production. If you don't have a VIN yet, then your car definitely hasn't been built...

You can also call BMW Genius Canada and give them the production number and they can give you the status.
I have called BMW Canada phone line a few times and frankly it is pretty useless. Even by providing my Production Number, they seem to know nothing or be able to provide any status. Now I am reading from sub forums that Carbon Roof is not available form 2022…. ? Anyone heard this from their Canadian dealer?

They are the worst Customer service I have ever dealt with.

I haven't checked with my SA in regarding carbon roof, and the carbon bucket seems to be okay at the moment. Laser headlight is the only problem and they don't know when the restriction will be lifted.

Lol half the car isn't available. Maybe they'll stop including an engine soon. I'm sure all the dealerships will still treat you like it's a privilege to be able to buy a car from them.

Next Production window.

FYI, stopped by the dealer today (Montreal area) and according to an internal note my SA showed me, those looking to place order now for G82 are looking for April production and "late Q2" for G80 at the earliest. I would assume this would be based on Canadian market allocation slots.
