Question to those that know this process from both sides:
Does my build rarity impact the speed at which I get an allocation (first place in line)? Same question but for how quickly it is finally delivered to me? Thank you |

But in general, standard options shouldn’t delay it. If you get options that have to be installed at port that will add a little time (m performance parts) Only other thing I can think of is if any parts in the build are on back order or something? But typically you’ll hear about those on the forums. |

What exterior? I saw a blue one with the interior and I thought it looked great, but I think the exterior color matters with that blue.

Playing safe with BSM. Tanzanite is my backup, but it hurts my budget. White is my economy backup option. I know I know Brooklyn is the boss move but I have done gray on my 440 I need a change

I think the term custom and individual are points of confusion. Here are the ways you can buy a G80/G82 from fastest to slowest.
1. Find one on the lot! It happens! Although you might need to compromise some, this is the fastest way. That convenience might cost you more. Let me give you a real world right now example. Here is a "2022 M4 Competition" for sale right down the road in Westwood Mass. https://www.highlinemotorgroup.com/v...owell-MA-01851 If you research further you can find a nice video of it. If you look hard, based on what I have given here, you will see some of the issues. 2. Get a lease broker. Honestly I always lease high end common despreciating assets. Pay the fee, let them find exactly what you want. 3. Order one. 6 months or less. The only thing that will make your order take longer are things that pull your car out of the assembly que and into a specialized area. Things like special colors cause this. The other thing that will delay delivery are port installed options and/or issues with shipping. Your ordered vehicle will stop at the VPC (for us it is in New Jersey). Any optional MPerf pieces can be installed there and differs depending on availability. If any claims for damage in shipping or repairs need to be completed, this will happen at the VPC and will delay delivery. Beyond acts of nature, it is pretty much cut and dry. There is really nothing rare or uncommon about a M3/M4. Specs that the dealer will have a hard time selling if you back out might cause your deposit to be higher. Beyond that, just forget you ordered it and before you know, it will be there waiting for you. Then you can wait for break in.

I have a friend who says even rare interior colors can sideline your order ie they stonewall you without telling. Anyone else agree or disagree? I am getting no where with my order after nearly 4 months |

Not sure why. Just a quick search shows these
https://www.bmwofsudbury.com/new-inv...el=M4&model=M3 Looks like they have an M3CS as well. What they actually have i am not sure. Really the car is not rare.

I highly recommend Norwood BMW fwiw. I work with Daniela (salesperson) and Mike (sales manager). Have bought a few cars from them and they are legitimately normal, straight, and honest.
Just ordered my g80 about 5-6 weeks ago. $1k deposit. No stipulations. I changed the build a couple times and they called to confirm exactly what I wanted. I received an allocation of end of April. They’re awesome. Warwick RI BMW actually offered me $1k less and I wasn’t willing to switch. |

Update: I was able to get to 111 status (order accepted by bmw) yesterday at the dealership. They showed me that it is in fact for a 2024 with the large screen, etc and that the full price is almost 1.3k USD more than the 2023 same-optioned price, arg that’s a pricey screen
I also was able to get a 112 (allocation for optioning) from another new england dealer, which I talked about but did not take. It’s prob not the ideal time for me to buy, I do live in city. What do you think? The main reason I am considering is bc my 440 is not young, 75k miles, worth decent on used market, and have always wanted a M3/M4. The used market is hilarious right now with dealers wanting near-new prices for cars with 10k-25k miles. |

M2 thing is true but it’s also different product. Maybe M2 vs M4 sure but M3 is 4 door every day car is well. Time will tell. But of course eventually we will see better prices for used. I am also a little nervous with used M cars cuz you have no idea how hard or how nice someone was to it. Which is less of problem for average 3 series if it was driven but more relaxed person. |
