For further context we also have an auto on our X4 M40i. When driving the auto box in the x4 I always use it in auto mode and don't bother with the paddles. Completely different in the F80x where I always drive in manual mode and use the paddles or gear shifter. The lack of shift lag in the DCT makes it very enjoyable and is the difference to the auto that really makes it an enjoyable drive. The fact the DCT doesn't force up shifts is good as I like holding RPMs. I do fear when the current generation of DCTs disappear in M Cars and are replaced by autos they will be missed... |

A more obscure comment clearly indicated that this "1 per dealership" is a direct marketing ploy to get traffic into dealerships. Combined with the timing of the m3/m4 release and it makes perfect sense. I speculate some nice incentives on other BMW's will also coincide with this release.

From what I was told, each dealership will get 1 before any dealer gets a 2nd allocation (if they do at all).
Not sure how that works logistically and sounds a little weird that BMW would wait for the first 341 or so to be paid for/delivered before going around a 2nd time with whatever is left; but that's how it was explained to my SA. |

Was at the dealership tonight to do the Summer Drive in thing to get the 1000 dollar credit they kindly didn't restrict from M cars . We were looking at a couple of things and the CS actually was showing up on the loyalty offers etc screen (with no loyalty cash available). First time the SA had seen it show on any screen. Getting closer?!?

The dealer did have a M4 heritage in the purple/blue in the showroom... for 89k.. interesting considering the similarity in price to the CS. The strips in the CF roof was kinda neat.

In terms of speed, it was plenty fast enough. I don't do 0-60 drag races and it's jut a track car. For the purpose of a GT, it suits me fine.

My CS showed up today at my military sales dealer. It heads to an actual BMW dealer later this week for prep and programming then back here to hand over to me. The other 3 military allocations should be very soon.

Congrats! What spec did you order? We should arrange a meet up when everyone has received their cars.

I believe the same as you if I remember from a previous post. HS - M-DCT - BLK 763M. I was close to getting black but then convinced myself I didn't want to wash it every other day. That would be cool get the maybe first? 5 us spec cars together.

If we can get the 5 US spec allocations together for a meet that would be great. Maybe we can meet at Nurburgring. |

If the options are cup2 or pss, I'd select cup2. If ps4s an option, then I'd go ps4s. I don't think you are odd. I believe they will be quite enjoyable. I might still go cup 2 as the new ones are supposed to be better in wet than the old ones.
