Hi, I ordered mine (2023 LCI) beginning of June when ordering in Estonia started. Today I got message from my dealer that my car has VIN number and later he confirmed that it actually got built yesterday. So with the delivery and such, it could arrive in October already. Initially it had date end of 2022 or beginning of 2023 so it was huge surprise to me.

I'm in the process of odering 330i and cant decide between M sport package or regular package. M bumpers look great but are kinda to sporty for only 245hp car. I like regular front bumper better (looks like old M front bumper in a way) but preffer M one for the rear.
Did anyone bought g20 without M sportpackage and latter had any regrets?

Cos that's not an achievable estimate. BMW are on something else with orders now, everything is so slow. First hope your production date is not moved cos that's possible, but if it stays the same, your car would enter the assembly line like a day before that production date. It moves quickly to Quality check and can spend anything from 2-33days(the longest I have heard). I've been at QC for 13days now. After QC expect another delay at Ready for transport, anything from 5-15days before it gets to the port (could be longer). Once it reaches the port, just ask how long people have waited 1-4weeks is genius estimate wait time. Then you get to the US port and add another week or more for delivery.
Honestly, if you are really lucky at a minimum you'd have your car like Mid November and that's really really lucky, more than likely end of December or 2023 would be your year. My order flipped to production begins 06/23, it's been nearly 2 months and I'm still at QC but I wish you Goodluck bro!

If his production date is week 36, end of October or mid November isnt the worst estimate. It could happen. The first cars have been getting delayed because they have to wait for more to be done before getting shipped to the port.

Bro I'm literally the most optimistic person but its not possible for October if production starts first week of sept (week 36). I did say mid November is realistic but its the truth when I say you'd have to be really lucky. Its not just me that was delayed, I checked every production number next to mine and right before mine up to like the 10th cars both before and after, everyone is being delayed. Anyways, nothing is impossible, please update this to show your timeline.

Do we think it will ever be possible to take out the new 3 series gear shifter and install a more natural gear shifter...?

[Gartho]

This says all 3 series will be made in Mexico for the US. I ordered an X drive but my dealer said it will be made in Germany. Who is right?

I'd guess you can , the new M cars still have the shifter so why not

All 3 series for US are made in Mexico. I think Canada can get some made in germany if not all of them.

My dealer also indicated my m340 xdrive will come from Germany as well.

All BMWUSA 3 series builds are 100% made in Mexico. If they're saying anything otherwise to you, then there's just a misunderstanding.

Weird! I guess once my 2023 VIN number becomes available, I will know for sure!

the rear is a new development though and is the worst part of the new design by far

All about taste, I like front back and interior and waited for the LCI, it looks more together to me, I had a 2020 model and found the split screen a bit messy tbh

It's my understanding all 3er are made in Mexico except M3. They now make the M2 in Mexico as well

[bigbwb]

Just got my VIN on the BMW garage site displaying vehicle is in queue for production! And guess what, it’s built in Mexico based on the first few numbers/letters in the vin. Just thought that might settle the debate for some m340 owners to be.

If they were being made in Germany, you would get access to the European options. I.e. carbon roof, noise insulated glass, M seats etc. I suspect they are all going to be made in Mexico, otherwise they will have a rather large production facility not doing very much.

Why? Pre-LCI were made in Germany and we didn't get access to any of those options.
