M3 delivery news

[danielbreese]

I spoke to my M3 dealer today (east coast). There are allocated 7 cars in their first shipment. Mine is one of those cars. He told me the build date for this lot is March, thus delivery will be 6 -8 weeks later. This means it could take till May to get the car!

As I am selling my E46 M3 to my dad in a few weeks, this means I will be driving beater 1991 Sentra SE-R for a while.

He had no info on price. There was nothing further for me to do now- still not time to build my car.

That seems awful late as BMW stated US cars were being built in Dec.

Agreed, I drove a Volvo V70 1999 until my M3. Wonderful change!

I part exchanged my zed for the M3 but there was a 10 week period between handing over the zed and picking up the M3. I drove a transit van (my company's van) during this 10 week gap. The M3 was a nice treat compared to the van.

I am going from a 1998 VW Lupo (1 1/2 years driving this car) to the M3. Trust me....this will be a wonderful change

What was the milage on that V70? My old S70 was so costly to maintain after 100,000 miles, partly I drive 30,000 miles a year.

What is a "zed" ??

I didn't think you could consumate a legally binding contract for a purchase without a price?

how are they doing this?

Well, who says you are locked in to buying the car when it arrives? You might lose your initial deposit if you back out but that should be about it.

Got any hard evidence of the legally binding contract?

Zed is how non-americans pronounce the last letter of the alphabet. So therefore he meant Z

Do any US or Canadian citizens have a build date in '08? I haven't seen anyone on here mention a build date earlier than March, but then again I haven't read every thread either.

It was about 130 000 kilometers = 80 778.255 miles. But bate in mind that Volvo is a Swedish company (have been bought now thought), and there is loads of service places not to mention replacement parts all over Sweden. Volvo is also considered to be a brand of Swedish quality, which explains the name which direct translated into English means "I'm rolling"
