Week 38!
Just put down my deposit and secured a Week 38 production slot for $2k under MSRP! A long wait.. one I can hardly wait for. This is my first M car.
Who else has a Week 38? Here's my build: Mineral Gray Executive Package DCT Moonroof (still debating whether I want this... I'm 6'4") Apple CarPlay M Perf parts: Black kidney grills black side grills stainless steel pedals LED door projector Illuminated door sills |

I'm 6'4' - and have no problem at all with headroom in our 2016 M235i (with sunroof). But I am mostly legs - I've seen others in this forum who have had a very different experience. You should try sitting in an M240i at a local dealer to understand the situation for yourself.
That said - I did NOT order the sunroof in my MY2018 M2 - but not because of concern about headroom. I just rarely ever use them - and I absolutely never miss it in my Z4 M Coupe. |

I know it's hard to believe, I was also surprised. I made a spreadsheet of the ~60 dealers within a one-day roadtrippable distance. I called nearly every one and basically said whoever gives me the best price earns my business. The first few days, the lowest I got was MSRP. After about a week, I got an offer for $1k under MSRP. I was three hours away from leaving work and heading to that dealer to put down my deposit when another dealer called me and offered $2k under MSRP. I immediately accepted, put down my (only) $500 deposit, and am happy and patiently waiting for week 38.

I do have friend though who is 2 inches shorter than I am - and has very real headroom issues in cars that I find to be just fine. And yes I do track cars with a helmet, so I take that into consideration as well. To know for sure - you have to try it yourself. But I've gotta think an M240i is absolutely equivalent to an M2 in terms of headroom (talking US models here). Anybody know differently? |

Week 36
According to BMW Genius, my production number is currently scheduled for week 36 and that M cars take about 3 weeks to build. If it all plays out as planned,I hope I can pick it up at the Welt in early October. The production for M2 starts July 17, so it might be a while before our production numbers all reflect the build 'week' online. Tic. Toc. Are we there yet???

Hopefully you get a day later in the week - I believe Oktoberfest ends 10/3 and hotel prices are still rather inflated on the 4th. If you get the 5th, maybe I'll see you there.
