quick updates on new M3.. i talked to two of my dealerships - production in June

[m_bazeepaymon]

Ok... BMW Irvine said deposits will be entered int eh system at march (so we will finally see the prices on the new M with options etc.) so we will officilaly be #1.. #2 or w.e # we are.. just make sure you grab the paperwork at march or they can screw u over (this refers to the people who had really bad experiences at dealerships). And Bob Smith BMW said the same thing about the deposit system... But one thing that was slightly different is that Irvine said May is when production starts... and Bob smith said June. They said it will be all over the place in September. but usually they show the car months before so i am guessing Geneva Autoshow?

And i dont want to get all brain twisting but i did read that thread regarding the M will show at the frankfurt auto show... That is the Cabrolet i am guessing and the Coupe will be at the Geneva.. *i am using logic so this is an opinion.* I hope I helped any1 srry my 1st big post if its all clustered don't flame me lol.

Interesting.... are these dealers guessing or is there some official info from BMW circulating? Thanks for your post.

We will have official price, option list and specifications well before NA allocations begin and likely even before the trade show where the car is launched. Whether this is March 07 we will see. Evan though I posted information about a Frankfurt launch (just quoting others) my strong hunch is still for Geneva.

they sall said it is official... BMW doesnt know if they are debuting in Geneva.. But forsure production for the coupe is in June unless something goes wrong.

my Dealer in Irvine went to a meeting a few days ago 4 it. he's the manger of sales... I hope he's right

Cool. That sounds promising enough to check in with my dealer. I will let everyone know if they concur about a meeting or dates.

Dealers usually tend to talk out of their asses, but this sounds logical.

I find it difficult to believe that any dealer staff (manager or not) know any delivery FACTS regarding the M.
