In the US, I guess the dealers already pre-specced the cars.

Yes, in the US, special orders sent out an email on 1/16 where dealers specced their cars. I believe changes were allowed briefly but that window has passed.

Did you guys get an email or did your rep give it to you?

This looks like an email communication from BMW to the dealership (not the end customer).

After seeing all of the status updates here, I texted my salesman and he provided the production number. Once added to my BMW garage, it just shows order received with no other information but at least it’s in the system!

The dealer says he thinks it was scheduled for production late next month but I do not see how that would be possible. For reference, I am Brooklyn gray

[nsquared]

Got my info today, I got sept. build (37th week). Added prod. # to my mybmw as well.

[02M3ForMe]

Got my production number, as well. Signal Green.

[kbb]

I got April build and should be taking delivery in June. Frozen white

[24M3CS]

Are your build weeks showing up on the My BMW garage or via the dealer informing?

It wouldn’t show up in your BMW garage. You need to reach out to your CA or call BMW genius.

[TCBavarian]

Your dealer can provide you with the build week.

I’m Frozen white, gold wheels, std red calipers and cup2 tires

[borys]

Got my allocation and prod no. Status order received. Black Sapphire

[mistermarc]

My dealer just called and said they have one available for me but the color and options can’t be changed at all ??? They said they need 5k to start the order.

This is correct. I believe some allocations either missed the deadline to be changed and/or were locked when given to the dealer.

So I am in shock. No idea how they are doing these allocations but looks like mine is being built in week 13 late March. Maybe it’s a BG thing.

There has been very little logic and reason to the the CS allocation process since the beginning, why would you expect there to be any now?

[mistermarc]

So I turned down my allocation couldn’t do black , car would of arrived in June

[bioman]

Would you turn down an allocation if the only choice was Signal Green?

Not me

[RTC3000]

Germany, dealer called two weeks ago, telling me that he is trying to get an earlier allocation because something went wrong. He didn't want to tell me, he told me he is going to fix it. Haven't heard from him since. I received my order confirmation and order number on January 31st.

Well...I was inpatient, called in a favor and found out that I have a November(!) production date with a 111 status (basically means that it is planned for production). I was so angry because this means that the car will reach me around December. In the middle of the winter here in Bavaria.

Now I have to wait to see if the dealer can do something about it...still no word from him, this lack of communication is really annoying.
I have a car assigned 100% but getting it in December is really unacceptable, I am thinking about canceling and going with my old idea for a GT3 Touring instead (my local dealer offered me a production slot in July).

Here in the states if I could get a GT3 for even close to MSRP I would bail on the CS and jump on it. Just not possible here unless you have a long history with Porsche dealer and even then it’s a wait.

While I personally can’t wait for the CS and the 4 door setup makes it attractive for anyone with a family, it’s not a GT3.

[RTC3000]

The GT3 Touring is not usable with three adult passengers (my two kids are still living with me and I need a car with full four seats, my Trackhawk is going away next year...) and the facelift is due in 2024, so...
Cost would have been around 60k EUR more than for the M3 CS.
I always loved Porsche (had over 13 cars) but I still have a Huracan Performante and this car is not something I would switch with ANY GT3, with the exception of the new 992 GT3 RS...maybe. In the exhaust sound department, there is no real match for the Performante, especially here in Germany where any exhaust mod can cause big trouble. We have entire police task forces here hunting for loud exhausts only. Never had any issues with the Performante (which is brutally loud) because it is street legal here.

I love Porsche but unfortunately they do not offer something like the M3 CS. Also, on the Autobahn, the M3 CS should destroy the GT3 Touring (which is already slightly slower than the ordinary M3 Comp xDrive). Race track? Not interesting, this is what I have the Performante for.

Got notice my car starts production next week so will be summer delivery looks like. I went with BSM
