And then I saw one in the flesh a few weeks ago - a black over orange M3 manual - and wow, the wait got difficult again... Sucks knowing it's built and sitting there, getting crapped on by seagulls, baked in the sun, and who knows what else... (and perhaps microfiber towels shoved where the RAM goes, like the person in one of these threads recently reported...there are so many, I'm losing track...)
Man don't get me thinking of birds crapping on my car. This fiasco can't end soon enough.

But considering thanksgiving is only 3 weeks away, i don't even know anymore if that's even possible either.

Some people have reported only a week until their RAM cleared to the time they drive the car home. So i know there's still a chance we get the cars by thanksgiving but i'm sort of thinking maybe not.

I think once thanksgiving comes and no sign of RAM being cleared, i really have to consider cancelling this car and getting something else, even used.

The thing is now you are overpaying for anything you buy regardless of if it's used. So if you got this car at MSRP then it is a no brainer to wait, especially if you have a fun car now. I do, thing is in my mind I already traded my car in 😂

I do have a fun car to play with. I just want another one.

I don't mind paying more, if it gets me the car now. Like if i didn't worry about theft, i'd cancel the M3 today and go for that widebody hellcat charger. Even if i'd have to pay 5k over, at least i can drive the car home.

Part of me feels bad as I was one of the lucky ones to clear the RAM stop sale in a few days.

The one thing I will say is be patient as this car is totally worth it. I am coming from a 16 F82 and a 19 F82C and this car is twice the car and worth the headaches. From the interior and technology to the planted feel of the drive. The car is a not as loud as my previous comp model but it picks up speed at a noticeably quicker pace.

Wishing all all of you a speedy resolve on your stop sales and plenty of great cruises ahead!

Don't do that, I had one for a couple of months and it's a terrible interior and handling compared to the M3. Not even that fast either a bolt on tuned M3 can eat that thing. They do sound sweet though

My friend has a hellcat so i know what it's like to drive. I know it doesn't compare at all the refinement of an M car but i do love my V8's. I'm a V8 nut. And the 6.2 supercharged FCA products like a trawkhawk, hellcat etc, are probably one of the best sounding V8's from factory.

Like i would get the hellcat just for the engine lol.

Isn't the engine why everyone who gets one, gets one?

If the hellcat had a hybrid turbo 4, good luck selling them...

(And not to get too off topic, but isn't it funny how when Trackhawks were available new, the dealers couldn't give them away - I was always getting offered 15-20k or more off MSRP. And now they're like gold used...)

Anyway, to officially get back on topic, the RAM stop sale sucks. There, no thread jacking here

Kinda yeah no.

Like if i got a hellcat, i'd get the charger, because it looks better than the challenger.

If i only needed/wanted ONE car, that's practical, i'd get the trawhawk, same engine.

But yes the engine is the main reason, just as is with most cars you buy today sorta. I didn't get the M3 for it's engine though lol.

So it really all depends.

The hellgato might be getting the same engine, one more time, in the next gen. Or to be sold side by side with it as a 1 or 2 year only production run, then 6cyl hybrids continuing on.

I really wish they refreshed the car one more time with the 6.2, i'd drop the M3 now to order that.

I don't disagree with you that cars with that engine are cool. But with some negative past experiences in the FCA days personally, I've always passed. Even when I really wanted a Trackhawk. And when I wanted a Hellcat for about 20 minutes, because I filled my tank next to one that sounded like a full-on NASCAR

What a coincidence. Was out earlier today in the C7Z and saw this pull up.

Not gonna lie, first time seeing iomg in person. It does look good. I take back my other posts in other threads about that color being terrible. It looks good. Car looks great on the road. I wonder if the owner is on here. If you are, car looks awesome bud.

Ok now I’m rejuvenated about getting the car again lol

lol... I felt the same way when u saw the car. I started thinking I didn't need the car because I work from home mostly and after Covid I don't go anywhere much because of all of the dumb asses out now. Also I haven't had a car payment in over a year and get a kick out of driving my 04 X5 with a 190k on it. Hell, I started looking at all of the shit I have accumulated and not using but YOLO.

That's the problem with these cars! Just when I'm waffling over walking away from my order and buying something else, I see one in the flesh, and I'm back on the G80 train.

We've all come a long way from the whole world complaining about the grills

It's now another weekday with no update and I am so close to walking away. If it's not here by thanksgiving and my yearly roadtrip I usually take then it really defeats the whole purpose for me

Wednesday i think?

I think it was mid morning it showed open on the recall website. I was checking rapid fire in the morning and it said open, then checked after lunch on wednesday and it finally said closed.

The following morning (thursday/yesterday) i checked the mybmw site and it said, "at the dealership".

Got a call this morning from my SA to confirm it's there but i can't pick it up yet. I assume it has to go through the dealer PDI, make sure the shipping blocks are off and other stuff they check. I have to call him back though to tell him to not mount the OEM front license plate bracket as i have a carbonio at home.

Very excited. Already got my dashcam ready too when i go pick up the car lol.
