Official 2012 Frozen Silver Owners Club

[Ruebsteak]

How about adding a pic and some info on your 1 of 40 2012 Frozen Silver M3's. Let's see if we can get them all accounted for.
Details can include mileage, mods, last four of the vin, 1st owner, 2nd owner etc., paint care tips and tricks, where and when it was purchased and for how much over or under if you are willing to share that info, any propoganda associated with the 2012 FS. The more info the better. The least number of post the better, if you continue to want to post consider an edit to your first post(????) not sure if that is a good idea or not. I'm not sure if this has been done before but it could be fun to round everyone up including the youngster from Texas that I hear wrecked his. BTW, I read that there were 100 released and 40 went to the US, not sure if it's true. Maybe we can all learn something here.

upgraded the shoes from 245/275 to 255/285 (looks and handles way better)
Got lucky and found it hanging around on AutoTrader
Current mileage approx. 15,000

I will post a pic when mine arrives, it should be here at the end of the month, its been on order since early Feb! getting excited now!

I am Canadian so mine would not be one of the 40 US cars but certainly 1 of the 100. I purchased it from a dealer on the Westcoast and it is currently on a truck being delivered to me. Very happy to be one of the club if you will have me. FYI there was a great article in the December 2012 edition of the British magazine BMW Car about M cars and a short blurb about the Frozen Silver Edition.

I know how you feel as I went through a similar waiting period. Placed an order in January and took delivery last Saturday. In the end, it was the right decision for me to stay with the M3. But I did consider other vehicles in the final 40 days.

Nice!!!!!

4 months!? Why is it taking so long!? 6-8 weeks is the 'normal' time frame.

[daveburnett]

Help reqd! its now been 20wks and still no sign of my car, its been stuck in Germany for 4wks and the dealer still cant give me a delivery date!

Q: Should I wait for the M3 or take a 640d M-Sport Gran Coupe that is in stock?

Stick with the M3!

well, if you know that the car has been stuck in Germany for four weeks, i'll assume you can track it? that you have a VIN# at this point?

if that is the case, at the very least , you know you're not being scammed. 20 weeks from time of order is not unheard of....my order, for example, has taken about 20 weeks.

call the 800# or ask your CA again for your vehicle status. if they say it's at the port waiting to get on to a ship, then hit this link...

enter your vin# where it says "cargo id" and that will get you info if your car has made it on to a ship. your CA and the 800# have info that's a little dated, by the time they know it's on a ship...it would've been at see for a few days already.

Yes i have the chassis so the car does exist, I'm just sick of waiting and like the look of the Gran Coupe

if you've been waiting for an M3 for this long and are tempted to get something else...

well, that is only something you can answer.

Sorry to hear about your situation. If you just have to have a car now and can't wait any longer, then that's a bummer. So if you have to give up the M3, please give or sell your M3 allocation to an enthusiast here.
