Predictions for the start of US production?

When do you think the earliest we will see the GTS to US customers? I know BMW says production has started but I'm not sure that means US customers. Plus the voucher system has been delayed. From other posts the earliest US production time I've read is August. I hope BMW increases the daily production to more than 5/day cause it may be a long wait for the US

I believe an initial special batch of cars are being produced now, RobS2k is part of that group and I believe he was told the CF wheels were a mandatory option. I forget the numbers, only 6-7? I'm sure this is probably so they'll come in time for the Monterey Historics and subsequent Oktoberfest 100yr celebrations.

Then for the rest of us I'm not sure if this is any indication of general US production but I too have an August build.

Standard M4 as well as M3 switch to MY2017 in July. I wonder if US bound M4 GTS built July or later (which may be all of them, dunno) will also be MY2017.

Very good question. My speculation is that they will all be 2016, especially since all 300 cars will be built in 2016. Also, you may recall, all of the i8s built in 2014 were 2014 models. Other than the i8s delivered at Monterey, US 2014 deliveries didn't start until the last week of September.

some CA dealers had production from last week. VIN's were issued. The West coast gets the production first since it takes almost 3-4 weeks for a car to get there as suppose to the East coast.

That being said, the East coast dealers received some allocations yesterday. No production numbers yet...just production dates. Some of these dates are as far as Sept - October.

I would assume that BMW will release the first set of cars together (West and East Coast) I'm guessing sometime before the summer.

According to my dealer mine is in production. So I would assume within 2 - 3 months I will see it here.

My last M3 went into production and took about that much time to arrive.

Do you have a dealer allocation or voucher allocation?
