I was just at a dealership in Nor Cal and saw the order sheet for 7 sedans and 4 coupes. They were ordered by the manager spec'ed all the way to $70K and the ETA is April 28th. NONE of them are spoken for, so in 4 weeks 11 M3s will be landing on this moderately-sized dealership's lot with no buyers.

The two M3s they currently have on the lot (one coupe, one sedan) have yet to sell either.

I am not sure if the problem is that they ordered them with $15K worth of equipment and folks don't want that, or the economy is making people weary of buying at $75K car (OTD) that gets 15 MPG.

Anyways, for potential buyers I think it is good news they won't need to pay even MSRP and should be able to buy one as soon as they want it.
