Here's the latest:

I found a dealership relatively close to me that is happy to do European Delivery on any allocations they get. It's a small dealership so it might be a while but they said it's likely they'll get at least a couple M2C's this year. They have my deposit and I'm at the top of the list.

Now the long and impatient waiting begins...

Medford. But oddly I got an email from Salem yesterday morning asking if I was still looking and I was told they have access to about a dozen cars. It's been crickets after saying I want to do European Delivery.

What is this European Delivery? Do you pick the car up in Germany, do a road trip and have it shipped back to the US?

Exactly. I'll be doing this in April and am literally counting down the days...

Tell me about it. I get mine in just under a month and will be taking it on a road trip to Germany in April also.

So what is the shipping cost to get your car to the US?

Zero. They ship it for free. Also you get 5 percent off MSRP.

I'm not sure what you have available in the UK but this is the program in the US. https://www.bmwusa.com/european-delivery.html

I think BMW, Porsche, and Mercedes all have similar programs but Audi recently discontinued theirs.

Anybody in the Bay Area looking for a 2020 MY production number? Just got word that a guy named Anthony Bhatti at Valley BMW has one. PM me for his cell or just call their main line.

Edit: Apparently it's going into production this week, so if someone wants a customizable car quickly, this is the answer.

A dozen M2comps? I got mine from that dealership and they aren't high volume.

A salesperson said he has "access" to a dozen M2C's so I was guessing that means the possibility of a dealer trade. Maybe because they're part of Lithia? Who knows, I didn't hear from them again after saying I want to do European Delivery.

The good news is I got a call on Friday regarding the deposit I put down saying I'll be getting an allocation with an April production date. Perhaps I won't be waiting very long after all...

Sounds like the car will be ready at a good time for ED, and likely back in Oregon for the summer. Not shabby!

Portland BMW has a HS M2C on their site right now that they actually bothered to photograph. Doesn't look like it has a moon roof (which you wanted?) but considering they took pics of it, it might actually be available.

I know! The timing should be about perfect but I haven't received confirmation yet so I'm not getting my hopes up. No complaints here if the car gets built anytime before October.

I've known about that HS M2C for a while--it's one of they cars they were planning to do a $5k markup but they were give me a special deal of MSRP with a meh trade-in amount. It even has $60 phone cables included!!!
I almost did it but backed out at the last minute and pissed off SA quite nicely. Oh well.

That explains the slightly odd price on it. Phone cables (uh...) and the M Performance floor mats. That sounds about the same as the last time I attempted to deal with them (almost bought a manual M3 once).

FedEx delivered a new level of M2C excitement today...



The ordering process has been so informal so I had my doubts it was even going to happen. May 9th delivery date confirmed!

European Delivery success!

Well...sort of. I posted this in a couple threads (e.g. here) so I won't go into the details here but my car got caught up in the knee airbag recall and stop delivery so I got to see my car at the Welt but couldn't drive it. It wasn't a big deal at all and BMW took care of me by giving us an M140i to rent while in Europe.

Oddly, I didn't get many pictures of the car. It was probably because I was too excited and I thought my wife was taking pictures but here it is.



And yes, Alpine White with a moonroof. I was on the fence between AW and HS but really wasn't excited about any colors so I figured white is a nice classic M car color. And if I'm disappointed later I can get it wrapped in a color I really want. Besides, my STi is silver and my wife's 4Runner is cement so I figured 3 gray/silver cars would be excessive.

I probably wouldn't have done the moonroof if a CF roof option were available but I do like the open feeling of a moonroof. Besides the weight doesn't really matter for me anyway since this car won't see a lot of track time and even if it doesn't I won't be focused on shaving fractions of seconds from lap times.

And here's the M140i rental were were given since I couldn't take the M2C. What a great little car, wish these were sold in the US.



And how about a double rainbow in Munich?
