The West Coast has its own port of departure and ships. I wouldn’t benchmark against it. The logistics network on the East Coast are way more complex, and thus slower. Stay strong, it just makes taking delivery all the more satisfying.

Mine just flipped on the Consumer site even though it’s been done and at 160 since 7/3

Looks like we are still on the same path.

Final Assembly is 155; 160 is Ready to Transport.

FYI, BMW North Scottsdale is showing a pair of 2023 G87 on its’ website. Both are manual transmission.

Unfortunately you can't trust pretty much any of the listings for new G87s that pop up on Autotrader, cars.com, BMW dealer sites, etc. It seems most of them have systems that auto populate with inventory that is in route regardless if it's sold, which in the G87's case it typically is.

Keep that positive attitude. You’ll go far.

I mean, he's not exactly wrong either. Some of the listings are bogus.

Most listings are bogus for sure but for those who want the car it takes constant effort and you only have to get lucky once

True. I myself pre-ordered way before official release and waited 17 months to get mine. For those jumping on later, it can be a slog. Good luck out there!

Chapman had 6 listed, and they’re BS too. I don’t think this guy is wrong when it comes to dealer listings.

Agreed about Chapman. Dirtbags. However, I’ve done business with the company mentioned for a number of years and all my experiences have been positive. No issues whatsoever. Now, are their listings bogus? Don’t know, I simply posted an FYI based on knowing a handful of employees there.

Paid my deposit. Told it’d be 12+ months. Now for the wait.

[Searay55555]

Over the years I’ve bought 1 from BMWNS, and 4 from Chapman, all 5 from the same CA. Never a bad experience with either of them. This will be the 5th from Chapman. I can’t say what this experience will be like until it’s done, but so far it’s going well.
I never really got a real explanation for why the 6 M2’s are listed, and it didn’t really matter because it seems the allocation situation is the same story everywhere. Maybe it’s more about the CA than the dealer. I’ve trusted mine since day one and have never been let down.

I mean it's not about being negative, it's just the truth. When I went the first 3-4 rounds of allocations without getting one, I checked in on 10-15 HEA cars listed on the aforementioned sites and that was the case for pretty much all of them. The only exceptions being cars with large markups.

For those still searching, by all means call and email dealers with listings but don't get your hopes up. You could get lucky with someone backing out and a listing being legit but at this stage that is going to be pretty rare.

I know we have different CA's but same place and I got to say the experience has been excellent. However, I did notice some of the time they will list cars on the site that were purchased/ ordered in advance so while it's technically true they will be in inventory (albeit temporarily) they're not actually available.

Hopefully we both have a good experience to report when it’s all wrapped up, but glad it’s going well for you too. Hear anything on an allocation yet? Has to be some news coming soon for August I would assume.

I was talking him today and they had not gotten the next round yet but they have been getting at least 2 each month it seems. Next week will likely be the next few. Buttoned up the changes to the build and the port installed options and still on schedule for production the week of 8-21 as of now at least.

[Searay55555]

Very nice! So close you can almost taste it! Keep me posted when you hear about your allocation. I bet you’re glad to have it all wrapped up so you can just right into the process as soon as it comes up. Hopefully I’m right behind you.

Correct.

Agreed, but they do tend to gather inquires, leads.

Car just arrived at the dealer, and I can pick up by Tuesday! Just sold my 2015 F82 M4 today, so perfect timing. 53 days from allocation to delivery is pretty good!
