Not really much of a post but thought I'd share my excitement.
After a 14 week wait my new M3 will be ready to pick up from the dealers next week. Never owned a new car so really can't wait to see it.
Even more special as had an 18 month break from sports cars due to a couple of house purchases.
...reminds me need to order a new PH sticker for the back window.

Then the feeling that you wish there was just a little more torque!

Good luck with the final few days, they are the killer!

I ordered mine middle of Feb and it should be at the dealer at the end of next week, but it's a couple of weeks since I heard from them!

Huddersfield BMW, was very quiet until a couple of weeks ago then they quoted end of May, then a call from dealer and its coming a few days earlier, then another call and it's coming a week earlier still :-)

There has being a rear bench alteration with the recently built E92's, they are using the bench from the salon so that has caused a tiny delay with some.

Sounds similar to mine. Ordered end of Feb and was told May build for June delivery. Last week I was told the build date is confirmed but it has slipped to June build for early July delivery frown

I still havent got a confirmed build date, however I have been told that (apparently) mine will be one of the last to ever be built.....

Anyone know if this is true or is this just the dealer trying to console me for my extended waiting time??

Coupes are pretty much sold out

Hardly any stok cars of any description in the network

Production finishes end of June, so last cars should be confirmed for production by the end of May and delivered to Uk by mid July.

Its the rear seat from the E93 that is being used so its just two seats in the back now with a proper fold down arm rest

Yep, had mine three weeks and only managed 500 miles so far ! Need to go for a big trip out to get the miles up so can get the service done and have a bit more fun. Then on goes the Akra Evo along with an Evolve tune for that extra oomph and exhaust noise.

Trust me, if you think you can get a car built to spec. You''ll in for a disappointment.

Week 26 (last week of June) production will end
