Congratz! When is your car arriving? sleepless nights ahead.

I should make a "I Can't Sleep Thinking About My M3" Club.

This forum helps alot. I never owned a BMW and this forum eventually guided me to choose M3 over C63AMG, IS-F (), and 335i. I can't stop thinking about the M3. Maybe I should cutoff my cable so I don't have to come to this forum which drives me crazy.

Its a long hard wait , kinda like prison , getting the M3 will be like getting released from jail , I just wish i still had my 06 M3 VERT , it would be like having parole in the mean time , at least for me the weather still is not that great ,i can have it for June which is perfect weather to rip around

Hopefully, we both get a good night sleep today. And you should have kept your M3 vert till it arrives!!!

Welcome! I picked mine up two days ago...its worth the wait.

I got mine via a dealer that traded a production slot with another dealer on my behalf so that I got it - to my spec - within 6 weeks of ordering.

Turns out the other dealer had their order down for a demo where mine was a "real" sale.

Could be worth a call to your dealer? See if they can do something simlar for you?

thanks man but i got what i wanted at the end of April it was a
April production vechile , i had to pay a lil extra for the sirius sat radio 600 dollars for 1 year sub, and i think 750 for the high gloss shadow lines bmw canada just nails you ! but other then that i got it fully loaded ,6sp ,with 18's aw ,fr interior,carbon roof .

The dealer told me he would swap the trim out with cf leather if i wanted but i kinda like the aluminum.

my question would be ,how long from Germany to the East coast where they get docked ?

i hear train or truck to the west takes two weeks from the dock (halifax up here ), so how long before they ship an april production and it arrives the east coast ?

Not sure I can help you out with the shipping times but the spec sounds mighty impressive!

Mines not as loaded as that but I noticed someone taking photo's of it today while it was parked up in Manchester...I left them to it, they seemed quite enthusiastic!
