2MT Option Suspended Temporarily
I was just at my dealer, BMW issued a bulletin that the 2MT (19" Wheel Option) has been overbooked and will not be available for new "Stock" orders for March production for coupe and sedan. Some have been moved to Feb to be filled. I placed my order Jan 18 (with M-DCT), and im still at 047 - I hope this doesnt effect me. Im gonna be pissed.

Does this have to do with the 2MT option not showing on the BMW Owner's circle order tracking system?

OC wont tell you. You need to ask your SA they have access to it.

I was at 111 for 2 weeks, and 112 for 3 weeks before start of production. One week max. for production. Then, figure maybe 3 1/2 weeks for shipping, PDC & delivery to East Coast dealer?

$10 says both of our cars will be on the same ship. I get a funny feeling they will ship mine out on the 5th or 6th of feb and your car should be complete by then. Considering both our cars are coming to the west coast.

Tehy will tell you the status but not the status code number. Not that it matters.

WTF. How on earth could they not make enough wheels? That just seems like one of the basics.

They took my order weeks ago and its still at 047.. it sux because I ordered it early just to try to get into the limited allocation of the DCT for March-May.
Meanwhile there are people in other parts of the country who ordered later and got immediate allocation from their dealer. My dealer has ONE m3 at 150 so far (but thats a 6MT), and im the second one in line waiting for DCT |

Depends on the salesperson. I'm in line (#9) at the same dealer that Lucid mentioned. My salesperson has been up front about not being able to order until the April-June timeframe. Since I am looking for a M-DCT equipped car, it's OK by me.

Good to know. It does sound like the guy I spoke with was indeed misleading me since you were given a more realistic/later timeline despite the fact that you are #9 (I was being offered a spot much further down the list than #9). The dealership I put down my deposit at that same week was able to get my order in on Monday, which is pretty consistent with what they told me up front.

Shippint to Left Coast
Could well be. I can't find any listing on the NYK Line site for a ship in February from Bremehaven to Port Hueneme, though.
