Today I pulled the trigger on a M3 Comp xDrive. Dealer requested a $5k deposit, I was able to talk them down to $2500. That feels like a win, as some other dealers I called wanted a 10% deposit. Once I have an official production status, I’ll update.

This is my 2nd BMW, I’m currently driving a 2023 X5 and that really gave me the BMW bug and sent me down the “rabid” hole 😂🤣😂.

They are saying this should hit production in December or January and be in around April. They actually delivered my X5 a few weeks early, on my first order, fingers crossed they are at least on time or early!

Let me know if you have any questions about specs or ordering process.

    Did they run your credit? My dealer wants to run my credit score also. I don’t want to ding when they have to run it again when the car is delivered.

      MSRP is slight under 92k (including delivery fee). I’ve been told April delivery, so 5ish months….

    Congrats. I am waiting for my individual Santorini Blue build. Hopefully by March. FWIW they only took $1k deposit from me.

      Deposit is non refundable… but in the unforeseen chance that I get laid off or something wild happens and they played hard ball…I paid deposit via my Amex and I’d certainly attempt to charge back the deposit. Legally they would win, but I’m not above trying. Would just be one more hoop for them to jump through. But that is not the plan or a likely scenario. The new note won’t be much more than my current one due to how much I put down on the x5 and I’ve been paying double each month…so it would take something catastrophic for me to back out.

    Production and everything is completely backed up right now, I’m currently on month five for my M340i
