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.

So the M240i with the sunroof has the exact same amount of headroom as the M2 with the sunroof?... positive?

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.

By the way, does your production number appear on the BMW website yet?

Well - I've never sat in an M2 with a sunroof. But I would be *stunned* to find that an M2 with a sunroof had different headroom dimensions than an M240i with a sunroof. I seriously doubt the parts are different.

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?

I'm scheduled for build week 38 as well and no the online service doesn't work for me either. I've read on these forums though that the online service is generally delayed.

Almost every dealer here has a wait list so there is zero competition because nobody has enough allocations. I found the one dealer that did not have a wait list and got their first allocation at MSRP. Going under MSRP was a non-starter...

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???

My car started Wednesday June 28th and is slated to be finished on July 11th. Good news is they can build them in two weeks.

It was reported elsewhere on here that MY2018 started production already (early). Did you request ED dates 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.
