Mine was scheduled to start production on week 37. Called BMW Genius yesterday and apparently the production is now scheduled to finish August 14th!
The rep told me that all M cars are on some sort of engineering review hold. Anyone knows what's this all about? |

I would love to know how the heck all of you got bumped from 37 up to "much sooner." Mine has been 37 since the day it was given to me and hasn't changed yet. Granted, I haven't been calling every day, more like once a week or so, but it's always been week 37. So weird.

Anyone considering PCD? After reading a couple of posts, I really want to do it but delivery of our week is around late October early November. I live in Illinois, Chicago area, and I dunno if it makes sense to make the venture cause of the possible snowfall the Midwest might get. Anyone have any thoughts?

I thought about it, I even have a work location not super far from there so I can probably expense a good chunk of the mileage and the plane flight down there... but I really don't like that you are effectively screwed if there is something wrong with the car (paint damage / etc) and you've already signed your paperwork and "accepted" the car. Plus, the drive back home to Cleveland is all highway miles, constant RPM, etc... the worst thing for break-in.
Also don't like having to try to schedule PPF / ceramic coating / etc down in that area rather than using installers near home that I trust.

I asked my CA this exact question and according to him not yet. They're working on it though.

I still can't make up my mind between 6MT and DCT. I originally spec'd the car 6MT, and I enjoy rowing a stick for fun... but then I drive my current car in traffic and I get so irritated with dealing with clutch and shifter. I enjoyed driving dual-clutch on my previous car; even though my left leg and right arm got bored at times, being able to put it in D in traffic is awesome, and then put it in manual and use paddles like a rally driver is also awesome (plus frees up the left leg for left foot braking). I learned to work with the DSG instead of against it, so I didn't really experience too many situations where the transmission was in the wrong gear and I was waiting for it to catch up.
I almost feel like with how much of the work BMW takes away from you (rev-match / anti-stall stuff) on the 6MT, it makes more sense to just go DCT and also get the benefit of 7th gear and lightning-fast shifts and launch control. But DCT is $3k that will cover winter wheels and some other mods easily... And I feel like this is going to be one of the last performance cars that can be had in manual and I would kick myself for not taking that route. Plus manual is cheaper to maintain long-term (no expensive fluid changes). Both my dad and brother will laugh at me behind my back if I go DCT as well - that's a minor concern, but I'd be lying if I said it didn't matter a little bit.

Mine's been 112 for quite some time now, but maybe it went 112 early 'cause it's an ED order.

Was about to say 'no' as I've tried it 2 or 3 times before, but it just accepted my production number this time, so 'yes'.

Same here, was finally able to get it added although the tracking didn't initially show up for me. Just checked again and I can see it now.
