Dynamically, and mechanically, there's no question it's an amazing car.

I think the issue is the styling turns people off. I'm not super bothered by it, but I own all 8 FF movies too .

Didn't he get a military allocation?

Yeah I think so.

Thought I would join the conversation and give what info I have obtained. I am currently stationed in Germany with the U.S. Army and the BMW Military Sales group was provided either 4 or 5 allocations. I managed to get an allocation the first week of July. According to my dealer (and he showed me the progress tracker on the BMW website) my M2 CS should be delivered next week or the week after. It is being built in Leipzig not far from where I am currently.

Here is the link for the sales group over here that shows the allocations sold out. They all went in the first couple days of posting.

The lack of allocations in the states is odd. My dealer was confused as well as to how they are producing the 5(?) for military sales in conjunction with the other Euro spec versions. One suggestion he mentioned was that the factory in Leipzig was scheduled to shut down in October for retooling and production may move to Mexico for the North American allocations, faster and cheaper delivery. All speculation of course.

This whole US allocation process for limited edition BMWs is bizarre and headache inducing.

[medphysdave]

I believe the US allocations are being produced up until the October shut down. US production Sep/Oct for Nov/Dec delivery. I forget the exact day the factory goes offline in October.

So that's 3 of us out of the 5 allocations. It's too bad we can't do Welt delivery any longer, that was a blast for my X3.

If they're starting some of the US spec production this week or next, you'd think they wouldn't be only doing 5 of them. GimmeanM, have you checked the 2020 models yet?

Yes, that's what this screenshot shows (right side Model: 202S versus 212S). There are no 2020 M2Cs in production, all 324 for the US market are 2021MY.

And there's no 202W listed? That's the code for the CS.

I’m the 4th military sales allocation, you guys working with Antony? Agreed on the Welt delivery, it looks like the French M flight guys had a blast picking up their 5 CS’s. Anyone started the M driving school process? Also, I’ve heard USAA doesn’t have the CS in their system yet...that should be fun figuring out with them

[wolf2871]

You're correct about USAA. As well as Navy Fed and likely any other US company for financing or insurance. The VIN for the CS is not registered yet. If you check on the NHSTA website it'll only pull the manufacturer. Even registering with USAREUR they needed to manually input the details. I have a family member who is an insurance agent and his guidance was to make sure your VIN, year, make, and model (to include the "CS" trimline) is all correct and clearly on your insurance policy. This way you have a better argument if they try to provide for a claim based on a 60k M2C vs an 84k M2CS. Then when the policy renews and the VIN is in their system the cost will greatly increase. Haha

Report back word on Navy Fed. That's who I typically use. Will also look at Penn Fed. Don't forget if you're a long term member you get a token for a .25% rate discount. Not on mortgage though

Yeah, been working with Antony for years now, good guy. Apparently got him in a bind when I did the last Welt delivery. If there are 4 or 5 of us though, maybe they can justify sending someone down with us to do Welt delivery all at the same time like the French guys did? I'll ask him if you guys are interested.

I haven't even thought about the driving school yet, is it down in Munich?

I've been using Allianz for insurance, I imagine they'll be able to figure it out or just throw it in as a European model for the time being. They seem to do the policies based on replacement price, so I just give them the MSRP whenever I do a new policy and that's what they list for coverage.

[Hulk Smash]

I guess I was the first military sales allocation. I've also been working with Antony, but Steve has been a huge assistance as well. My car just arrived at the dealer today and I'll be picking it up Friday morning. USAA definitely doesn't have the CS VINs in their system, but they gave me a nice rate for now (I'm sure it'll go up once their system is updated).

Thanks! I'm getting the euro maps installed. You?

I'm hoping the USB drive still works from my X3, otherwise I'll be out of luck for navi lol. It did not work in my Mini but I just chalked that up to Mini doing something slightly different. They're almost 3 years old now so I'd like to get a new set but without Welt delivery that seems impossible.

Copy all, thanks for the heads up.

[Acetech]

I'm being told that the initial cars, September builds may be un configurable. Meaning they are going to show up at dealers as BMW NA spec'd them, dealer will not be able to change options.

[cncmastr]

That's insane, unless they are configure them in Musano blue, with ccb, gold wheels, Cup2 tires, and Alcântara steering wheel, with six speed, I think I'll be OK :-)
