Just waiting on the boat!
Got that email from my SA the other day. The M2 is born and sitting in a parking lot somewhere in Germany waiting for the big boat trip.
Thinking 5-6 weeks since it has to come to the west coast. Would make it a little less than 4 months since I put the deposit down. Honestly that's about what I expected, I really felt the 6 months my SA quoted me was him just being cautious. That what everybody else has been seeing? |

What color/options did you order? I placed my order mid Dec., and I'm going nuts waiting for it! I always say I can be very patient, as long as I don't have to wait! When did they start to build your M2? I'm sure you're getting even more impatient than I am... the closer it gets, the more difficult the wait! |

I am going through Chandler BMW as well. I put a deposit down on 10/7/17 and was supposed to get a week 2 build. My M2 left Bremerhaven on the Liberty around 1/15/18 I believe and it is scheduled to hit Port Hueneme on 2/13/18. I’m assuming I’ll have my car around 2/17/18 depending how long my port installed options take. Definitely counting down the days!

My situation was kind of different I suppose. The first CA I dealt with wanted to sell me a car they had coming, which had several thousand dollars of extras on it. I didn't want that car because of the extras and what it cost. The manager seemed a little irritated by this, and I was basically told the only way I could get a car at MSRP was to order one, and it would be a year wait.
I called their bluff, and told them I didn't mind waiting. They let me order my car, but insisted on a non-refundable $1000,00 deposit. I was never comfortable with that whole situation so, after a few months, I charged back my deposit on my CC. I figured that would piss them off and never expected to here from them again. Fast forward to January of this year, I get contacted by another CA at the same dealership who still has my order information. The original CA I dealt with is no longer with the dealership (he moved on to other opportunities I was told). He informed me that they had a configurable M2 going into production soon. Still having my order info in a folder he saw, he wanted to know if I wanted to change anything, if I was still interested of course. I added a moon-roof, Apple car-play and PCD. I told him I never expected to here from them again, and he apologized for no one keeping in touch with me. So far everything's been cool. |

Did you feel like you needed to take a shower after this conversation?

Keep that soap handy, you may need it again before the curtain drops on the final scene of this play :-)

I hadn't seen anything posted in this thread for awhile. My car is at the performance center. It got there early, but I still can't pick it up until when I originally planned on March 12th. The roadblock is my current car and trade-in, the Focus RS. The RS has a head gasket issue that is finally being addressed by Ford. There have been several issues with dealerships, backorders and delays. I originally went to the dealer I bought the car from, several weeks ago; and got the runaround.
Needless to say, this experience has soured me on Ford but not necessarily the Focus RS. It's a really fun car, but now I just want to get rid of it, and never step foot back in a Ford dealership again. Sorry for the negative post, I just had to vent. |

Well, my 18' M2 MG MT is now waiting for a boat as well. I am on the US east coast so I am hoping for a mid-April delivery.

According to the timeline in the tracking thread, I estimate getting mine between March 11th-28th. And my dealer estimated 5-6 weeks after being built. So hopefully you'll get yours before mid-April. Unless you'll be at the port longer getting accessories put on. Last edited by Anthony1s; 02-19-2018 at 09:22 AM.. |
