I would agree unless you are split between two colors. Especially if you plan to keep the car for a while.

I'm pretty split on the Java Green and Zandvoort Blue.
I think I'll just do my best to wait it out and use the time to order parts so I can throw everything at it at once.

There is a last generation M4 in Java Green I believe near me that looks nice! Got a bunch of potential sales prior to delivery if you wait!

I wish I could see Java Green in person.
Apparently it's not very common here.

It is the only one I’ve seen. Full disclosure I wouldn’t go for it, but if you like the color it does look good.

I don't know if I can hold off that long and might change colors if it knocks a few months off my order lol

Got email from Genius this morning. My Java has a build date week 43 so end of Oct. Could move no VIN assigned.

Wonder how many vehicles will be in each batch.

Got word back form Genius this morning I should be entering production 8/18.

Really looking forward to it, and it's week 34.

[ednir98]

mrcheyl Oh so they plan on finishing it within a week. I'm week 36 but genius told me it should go into production starts a couple weeks before. Either way it's a quick wait.

I was shocked as well, granted in the email it states dates are subject to shift but I'm glad it looks to be happening sooner than later. I didn't expect to enjoy the car before winter hits. It'll be a daily (I'm in NY) but winter enjoyment and summer enjoyment are totally different.

Same here, I was totally prepared to wait 3-6 months

[reallymarkedup]

Confirmed production to start week 36.

Does everyone see blue calipers on their garage picture, regardless of what they ordered? I double checked the build manifest and it says red calipers in the options list, but it's bugging me every time I see those blue ones.

Same here, it should turn red eventually. As long as it's on your option/feature list you're good.

How'd you spec yours? Might have seen it in this thread but with the amount of time I spend on here everything is a blur lol

[ednir98]

mrcheyl red brakes, all the carbon bits, alcantara wheel, 6MT

Ok good because I didn't even notice until just now (literally just a moment ago) that the wheels are wrong too, since I ordered the Bicolor. Double checked build sheet for that, it's listed there. All is well with the world.

Does look good with the full blacks tho.
