M2 ordered today with ZERO problems
With all the talk of limited allocations, dealer markups, etc. I thought I would stop by Hendrick's at lunch today.... even though my 435i Gran Coupe lease isn't up for ~11 months.
The CA told me they had ONE SLOT left for 2017. (Either I was lucky or was a pitch to get my $1k deposit). But since there was ZERO dealer markup, I went ahead and priced out my MANUAL SHIFTING model and took out my credit card. I only wish I could get the backup camera w/o the full exec package, but went ahead and selected it (we don't need heated steering wheels here in SC!). I didn't opt for the DRIVERS PACKAGE, but the CA told me I could still get the car at the performance center. Really? CA is thinking the car might take 9-12 months to bake. Really? Anyone here with experience know how my lease PULL FWD option would work should the M2 be ready before my lease is up? thanks in advance. BTW, I stopped by Palmetto Ford on the way just to see if they had a GT350 on the show floor. They did actually. Sure enough: dealer markup of $19,995 right next to the sticker! Bah, hum bug! |

Congrats.
I got my production number today also. I submitted my European Delivery dates for beginning of October and now waiting for confirmation. I did not select Executive Package. The only thing useful in that package is the rear camera, but my current daily driver does not have it so I will not be missing anything. Also I do not want lane departure crap, vibrating steering vehicle, annoying park distance senors beeping at me in the cab (one day these will fail and beep randomly), etc. Leave all those nannies out of the M2! I believe vehicle mark ups are a West Coast phenomenon. East coast guys do not have to worry except for maybe FL.

hmmm. Well, the CA told me that Hendrick's has an allotment for 2017 and only one left. He told me he would have a production number for me to track in a matter of days. I guess I will see. (not desperate, my Gran Coupe isn't due back until this time next year.... but I miss my manual gear box!!)

I would ask how many people are before you on the list. 11 months can be way to tight if there are a lot of people ahead of you. |

CA says they got 4 allocations for MY2017. I am no.4 he tells me. Car might be ready in 6 months. Or 12 months. (He might have been padding as my lease isn't over for ~11 months). Either way, I plan to own an M2 at MSRP after I'm done with this G.Coupe.

I think what he meant was they expect to get 4 MY2017 cars. All other dealers are still waiting for their autumn allocations.

Maybe. I just want one (manual!) with my name on it sometime around the time my current lease is up. Hopefully my deposit ensures that happens.

No dealer knows ANYTING on when their 2017 cars will arrive. If they do claim that, they lie. |

As of right now, all dealers have is allocations up until September of this year. After that it's anybody's guess and there is ZERO guarantee on the number and timeframe of allocations. |

My bet is you are OK but I think many people here get bothered with the B.S. sales people push. They should just be straight up.

The dealers know how many M2's they are getting for the calendar year. July's allocation will have October through December build slots. So If you get an allocation and production number for this round, your car will be here earlier than your lease end date. Then the real game begins with what to do with your current lease which will cost you to get out of. But I bet you are just on a list for next year.

I'd really push them to give you a production number. They should be able to have provided one to you as soon as they input your order. Right now allocations are only out to Sept. so if anything, the latest you'd receive your car is the end of this year.

Incorrect, his order is only in the order bank. If his dealer only has one allocation left for the year (this is what it sounds like) and clemsonkev does not get it, he is looking at 1st quarter of next year at the earliest. If clemsonkev gets the allocation he will get a prod number the same day.
