......Having gone through the pain, and fortunately having a positive outcome, of getting a new GT3 and having failed to secure a Golf Clubsport S (I bought a Clubsport Edition 40) and having missed out on a M4 GTS, I bought a M3 CP, I have gone through a number of manufacturers allocation processes for in demand vehicles and none has been particularly successful in its application.
Sounds from that description like you're a bit of a speculator. Perhaps that doesn't help. Doesn't seem to affect Shmee150 in the slightest however.as7920 said:

Doesn't seem to affect Shmee150 in the slightest however.I am a true Petrol Head....the chances are very high that I won't ever sell the 991.2 GT3 which arrives in October. The M2 CS will replace my M3, and I will probably keep it for 2-3 years and use it as my daily driver.
There are speculators out there and I resent them as much as anyone else. Waiting and anticipating a build of a special car for as long as I do there is no way I could ever just "flip" the car. I could clear a good chunk of my mortgage if I took up the offers to flip my new GT3 when it arrives in the Autumn, but I have told the dealers that I am not interested...I want the car to enjoy. Same applies to all my other cars !
No....not a speculator !

Absolutely not a speculator. I own my cars for at least 2 years and they all get used. My M3 has done 12000 miles in just under a year, my last GT3 (997)was the highest mileage one in the country when it was sold with 38,000 miles on it. I only picked up the Golf on Saturday, having traded in my 2 year old RSQ3 which had done 31,000 miles and I have just sold my V12 Vantage to make room for the new GT3 and I owned the Aston for just over 2 years and did 7000 miles in it.

Good to hear, same opinion here. Wasn't trying to cause offence, just the way I read your post.I am a true Petrol Head....the chances are very high that I won't ever sell the 991.2 GT3 which arrives in October.

If BMW put another epic naturally aspirated straight 6, like the one from the nineties in the Z3 M and E36 M3, into the M2 with a proper manual and with the same steering rack as those cars, I would then attempt to sell a non-essential organ to buy one. At the very least ditch the turbos and tweak the 3.0L I say! It won't be as good as the original 3.2, but it will help matters.
Lol. I would do the same. If only!

Has anyone heard anything recently from the dealers where interest/deposits are lodged?
No. My dealer(s) seems to be quite well informed of such things and although he cannot provide any more info, he does let me know and checks in regularly.It was around this time, when the 1M was launched that dealers were starting to get drip fed with information. The M2 CS seems to have similar timescales for production as the 1M did too.

I'll drop my contact at Farnborough a lineIt was around this time, when the 1M was launched that dealers were starting to get drip fed with information. The M2 CS seems to have similar timescales for production as the 1M did too.
I just dropped my dealer an email today following the CSL rumours circulating yesterday. They haven't had any info as of yet but let's see.
I got my deposit in last year and was the first to do so at that dealer.
The CSL is a more interesting proposition for me than a CS, particularly if they go hardcore and remove the rear seats.
