Lol.

What Monopoly?

I'd bet there's an ADM on them aswell.

BMW north Houston sold theirs for 10k over.

Autonation who's a corporation that owns many dealerships in Houston has initiated a mandatory $10k ADM on any M cars. $30k on M5CS. And they're giving their Porsche and Merc dealers authority to markup 911s and G-Wgoms by over $100k.

I have two allocations on B8 GC if anyone is looking to build one.

Wow!!!

My vehicle updated to "dispatched from factory" today.

I also spotted a green B8 on the freeway in Orange County, Ca by SNA airport. Had tinted windows. Looked great.

Still waiting on mine. It made it to port of Baltimore weeks ago but is still on B&W stereo chip hold... 6 months since start of production the Factory.

My dealer finally got word that my original "order" would not be filled. If he had not found my Green B8, I would be in line for a 2023 model. Projected date for re-entering the order is in January. The notice did say that they would honor the pricing from my original order.

Still not sure it would have been built next year with some of the options like B&W or wireless charging.

Got mine delivered yesterday. I did not order B&W. Wireless charging was installed.

Not much to look at yet as I asked to leave the wraps on. Paint correction and paint protection film is next week. Not driving until that is done.

Tanzanite Blue exterior
Fiona red / black full merino interior
Driving assistance 2
M carbon roof

I downsized to 20 inch wheels and will be powdercoating those black. Also swapping the kidney grill to black and getting the rear badges painted black.

I doubt anyone else will have this same configuration.

Timeline:
-Order placed at dealer 5/4/21
-Order accepted by BMW and assigned production number 6/11/21
-Entered production and assigned VIN 10/20/21
-Ready for transport 11/9/21
-Waiting for ship assignment 12/13/21
-Released to carrier 1/5/22
-Delivered 1/18/22

I didn't get the B&W audio, so that helped as my vehicle wasn't waiting on any parts. Otherwise the timeline would have been even longer.
