Out with the 2008... in with the 2011.
And it's done.
Finalized the deal today to trade in my 2008 for a 2011.75 (or whatever they are calling it) M3 sedan... final specs below. Alpine White Fox Red Novillo Leather Carbon Black Leather Trim 6 speed manual M-Drive Package BMW Apps/Smartphone Integration Executive Package EDC Apparently it will be a July build and should be here end of August, we'll see about that. I passed on the 220M 19" wheels as I'm not a huge fan, will go aftermarket... same as Competition Pkg, was quoted $5985 + $400 special order fee (insanity) and I'd rather get a set of Eibach springs + other wheels. Talk about a 'Canada tax' ie. ripoff, ZCP is $2500 in the US. Nuts. Was surprised that they want my 2008 exactly as is on the trade so my 19" Alufelgen SF-71s are out the door along with the black grilles, colour matched reflectors, blackline tails, Eibach springs, etc. No worries, now I get to start fresh. Now the waiting starts...

Well that is clearly because the sedan is better looking than the coupe!
If you're serious get on it though, E90 M3 production ends in October and apparently build slots are getting harder to secure... there won't be a 2012 sedan.

$5895+400 for 7MA (ZCP) is ridiculous. You should definately be able to get a better rate than that. I was quoted $5185+400, but ended up getting $3900+400. Go for some KW's, and lighter aftermarkets for sure. Assembly allocation for ///M cars started this month so you might have it for August. Don't be suprised if it's September.

Thanks Jason... if work (and wife/kid) ever let up I'll make it out to one of the local meets soon enough! Anything downtown-ish works for me.

Thanks all!
With some extra cash applied towards the trade in the discount on the new car was just over 7%. No complaints.

Congrats on the new purchase. I'm glad you were able to make a decision, and seems like you got a good deal on the new build. Now we get to wait together, since I also have a July build!

I know personally that my vehicle is either starting production the end of this week, like today, or at the latest the second week of July (week 28 I was told). My order was placed like 3 months ago, I just got my VIN, and my ED date has been moved three or four times which has been very inconvenient. So I'd expect you to recieve yours soon. P.S. seems like there was some turnover at BMW Canada, and at least in my case contact with Germany through BMW Canada in Ontario has been very slow.

There had to have been some changes/issues at BMW CA as of late. I ordered my first E90 on February 21st 2011, and learned shortly after production that they had built the car with the wrong colour and wrong specs. Either a dealer screw up, or an issue with communicating the build properly to Germany. I didn't learn about this until May 27th at which time the car was being loaded onto the Fidelio. As such, I reordered on May 28th with a July build date. I'm hoping that the car is built soon! Asif |

Nice vise,
I ended up working my deal out too. I also got a July build so the car is expected to be here middle of August. I kept my color but, changed int to fox red and went with the comp package.
