I just talked to my dealer yesterday and I still can't order.
It's an "actual" launch car allocation of 1. Not sure if all dealers are getting one, and even if they all are, not sure if they're all selling the launch car.

AFAIK there's no actual customer allocations released yet. For now hearing early Feb for customer allocation
never thought about the launch car. so dealers can order their car, but not the general? I wasn't aware that was even available yet. but that's great...closer to the general public getting one

So you are #1 at stevens creek #10 at East Bay? If East Bay calls you after you get your M2 at Stevens Creek, feel free to send it my way

BMW gives some dealerships "Launch" cars based on the vehicles they have sold.

So when the allocation was accepted I just had a talk with my New Car Director and we built it to my specs.

However when I look in the BMW internal site. There are no other M2s that we will be getting yet.

Are there any differences between the dealer demo car and customer car?

If you're in a hurry, go here: http://www.coastbmw.com/.
They're selling their launch car, and reasonably close. But, for 25k over. Due in soon, I understand.

But the launch vehicle will be driven, correct? By potential buyers?

I don't think so. If it's already sold they are probably gonna keep the car in the showroom at most couple of days with the doors locked. Otherwise, no one would wanna buy a launch car. I mean this is just my guess

Nope, because it's considered a sold vehicle and no one can drive it. They also won't even be allowed to sit in it either

I just have to leave the vehicle at the dealer for 1 day where people on the waiting list can see it in person.

I have agreement and order placed for launch vehicle. I'm taking Performance Delivery, so mine won't even see my dealership until it's already in my hands.

Sure I'll swing it by so the dealer can have a chance to check it out. They've treated me and my daily well.

My brother purchased a 2001 LSB E46 M3 launch car and it was never driven by potential buyers.They had it in the showroom for about a week and then he was able the to take delivery of the car.Most of the E46 M3 launch cars were LSB.

No, I live in the York/Harrisburg area.

I actually specifically went to Otto's for that 335i. It was the only one that was Montego Blue with a 6spd Manual Transmission within 500 miles. It was a 2007...HPFP failures galore!!!! Otto's had a great staff and was a total change (In a good way) from what I had experienced from other dealers in Southern PA/Upper Maryland. I was pretty young then so I guess those dealers thought I was kicking tires...oh well, their loss...
