Ha - thought you would not notice that. Sounded like too much of a coincidence though. BMW NA keeps telling me the production is scheduled but no VIN numbers are getting issued. Looks like it's just a guessing game at when anyone can get a car. ED or stateside.

Really? A BMW guy not noticing something like a date on an article?

Reuters has posted a news article that said "Other plants in Leipzig, Regensburg, and Rosslyn South Africa will open after May 18, starting with a one-shift system the carmaker said".
That was posted almost a month ago so anyone got any better update? One shift versus 2? How many M2's do they put out?

I have ED request in and waiting on a 2021 M2C allocation. For now going with Hock Silver. Black wheels manual. And that’s it.
My requested dates are 9/11-9/18 For those that are interested in a group outing my itinerary is headed south for Monza and hopefully Imola then back north for the N24 (hopefully I’m driving) after that Scuderia S7 sectional training and then private track day at Spa and Zandvoort. I can arrange insurance and even track rentals depending on needs. Before all that can happen need to know if the car can actually get built and I can get into Germany. Lots of hope! Good luck to you all! |

Me too! Either the CS Misano or better would be San Marino. Le Mans or interlagos would be cool too. Or one of the deep purples. A green would be a real Hail Mary.

Regardless, that was a big mistake and I'm sure BMW and Bosch have learned and put in adequate controls to prevent this from occurring. Classic case of upgrading both parties business continuity plans.

FYI -
My dealer reached out to the ED Team and then found out they are "no longer accepting fax" and dealers must email the pre-registration. Apparently the fax is still on all of their internal systems but the folks that make the ED happen won't get it...seems a little backwards.

Just heard from dealer who said BMW (the Germans, not NA) has my reservation, but will not let me confirm a date without the allocation...this seems to be in line with the past and normal operating procedures...a little tough for me to plan the rest of my trip with this hanging out there though.

Absolute legend. Thanks for compiling all of this, and even more so for posting pics of the individual builds. Really awesome!
Spoke with my dealer today. He said that information is trickling out - hoping to hear more over the course of the next week. He also reminded me that BMW USA HQ is up in NJ, which was hit fairly hard, so they still aren't back up to full operations yet. Fingers crossed! The waiting game is definitely the worst part! |

Surprised how many members on here ordered their car with moonroof. Being on this forum, sometimes you think getting moonroof is sacrilege!
I for one I'm still debating whether I should have it remain or take out of my build. I do love the clean lines of the slick top. I change my opinion daily!

And I hear so often on this forum that the M2C is such a great track car (which it isn't...), assume people would not want the weight of moonroof (which it doesn't matter...). I have posted this previously, but from a purely aesthetic point of view, you can argue the slick top might be more clean. Would love to hear your thoughts on the value of moonroof and long term value.
