Thanks.
Agree with Wolfman64 that you're likely waiting for 2021 in August at this point. Background being when I finally decided to pull the trigger on a M850i coupe last July I was told I needed to wait until August to custom build a 2020. When the allocations for the US came out in August there was a total of 5 M850i coupes. That spoke volumes to me as to the manufacturing priority of the 8-series variants for 2020.

My dealer didn't get an allocation but since they are part of the Penske Automotive group they were able to horse trade with another dealership that did. Of course as posted likely too many times that build was nullified by BMW's issues with Driving Assistance packages. My dealer was able to make the case and get me another allocation and I finally took delivery of that in December.

Right now there is a total of thirteen 2020 M850i Coupes on the ground at US dealerships and my guess that is the end of the road until 2021 orders open up in August. That assumes BMW doesn't axe the coupe as per all of the recent news articles on the subject. Thus, the best case scenario is finding an existing 2019 or 2020 that meets your needs.
