if you want to order new, then you'd better get on it ASAP.

i'd guess your best bet on anything discounted will be a DCT with a sunroof...and those are the priciest models to begin with. if you want a manual and no sunroof, then you're going to be paying MSRP...and your best bet is ordering new if you can find an allocation.

Wait, there's going to be M2Cs with white seats?

Edit: Nvm, looked it up and remember seeing it now.

I'd read somewhere else that this same issue was directly impacting 1 and 2 series production for BMW (and one other series I can recall?).

Wondering if it has anything do do with the availability squeeze on our M2C spring production.

Man, I'm thankful I ordered when I did! I placed my order on February 1st, before I joined this forum. Originally, I planned to order around July or August, but decided to go ahead now and enjoy the car during the warmer months. I had no idea they were stopping production in June! If I waited I'd have been SOL.

It definitely spooked me too. So I gave up my deep discount on a theoretical car and ordered at a lesser discount on a car that was already built and getting on a boat.

The ship finally made it across the Atlantic and to Halifax today. PDC scheduled for March 30th. Gonna be a loooong March waiting!

I ordered my 2021 M2C back in June, took delivery in September, and have no regrets after more than 6000 miles with a wide grin on my face. My CA has assisted a number of us, and I believe she currently has 3 units available (one CS, one M2C HS w/orange trim, roof, black wheels, and one special content). She may get more allocations since she has sold a large volume, but there is no guarantee.

So final allocations will go out in March ?????

I'm curious how many allocations went out in February. My SA told me that BMW handed out fewer allocations in January than expected, I wonder if BMW did the same in February. That's certainly going to make finding one at discount difficult.

I was told less than 15 in Feb which seemed hard to believe.

I can believe it - because there are still 87 M2c's on the ground at US dealers. That's a fair amount of inventory of a very niche car to have to move.

Not a lot of supply - but not a lot of demand either. If there was high demand, we'd already be seeing dealers slapping ADM onto their asking price, and I'm not seeing *any* reports of that right now. Could change over the next few months.

How do you check national inventory?

I did just secure a manual allocation from my local dealer, who's insisting on MSRP. I have not put down the deposit yet, gonna see if I can find a better deal

https://kilter.com will pull up cars on dealer lots from my understanding.

All of my local dealers want sticker too. I found one out of state that was willing to knock $1500 off, but that was the max they'd discount.

From what I've seen in NJ, you can find an M2C on a dealer lot without too much effort. The problem is they aren't what I'd call enthusiast spec. I haven't seen an LBB or SO for a while in any transmission option. White seems to be what's left and while that's a popular color in general, it is, according to my SA, the least popular M2C color. It seems that dealers don't really understand the common M2C buyer, which given the sales volume, i understand.

Yup, that's it. You can find a black, white or silver one with DCT. If you're lucky it may have only a few BS port markups. If you want a blue one, be prepared for the full port menu of knickknacks - maybe even with a stick. If you want an orange one with a stick and no nonsense? Forget about it. Oh wait, we found you one! Sorry, no exec pack here. Oh, but we do have a CS model. It's black with DCT, the black rims and the CCBs...how's that for $90k? It's literally like what are these people doing when they order on-lot cars?

kilter.com - BMW-only search engine, works quite well. And it shows the detailed spec of each car - something individual dealers are not always very good at.

I'm looking for a '21 M2 Comp as well. Tried a couple of dealers in the Tri-State area and no discounts. Anyone know of a dealer that's willing to deal and can put me in touch with them? I'm in NYC and can travel.

My CA has a Hockenheim Silver Manual special contents on the boat that she would like to sell. Send me a message if you'd like her contact info.

It better not be the one she already sold to me!

I've been looking for a M2C (Sunset Orange, manual, no moonroof) for a while and have been unable to find any used ones at a good price. Everything I've seen over the past couple of months has been priced at $57K or higher and I couldn't justify that price when new is only a little more and has a full warranty.

I contacted 14 dealerships last week and remaining allocations are rare. Only four of them had an allocation or were willing to work on getting me one. The first had a waitlist of four people, the second said I would be getting their next allocation (was supposed to be available later this week), the third had one allocation remaining but no production timeline, and the last one had an allocation with a production number available so I went with this one.

None of them were willing to negotiate on pricing and were only offering MSRP. So you will be lucky if you can find a dealer at this point with an allocation and willing to give you any kind of discount.

I'm in a similar boat. This is my first time interacting with this dealer and first time ordering a BMW. If I hadn't joined these boards I would have been non the wiser. Just learned about production numbers/allocations on here last week. Placed my deposit/order on February 1st, and still don't have a production number, but called the dealer yesterday and was very blunt when I asked if they could guarantee me a car. They said they could.

I'll be extremely upset if this doesn't work out. It's been a lifelong dream of mine to own a car like this.
