I love the idea of ordering exactly what you want. But I have not been able to since 1999 when I ordered a stripped 6-speed Formula Firebird hardtop with cloth interior and manual seats.

I stumbled across a vehicle on the lot, awaiting completion of service on my previous vehicle. The option list included almost everything that I wanted; the deal worked with my SA was what made me take the plunge.
That said, ordering is the way to go.

I am not averse to ordering what I want, but if there is a cracking deal out there.....[/QUOTE] +1. Timing is EVEYTHING if you are to find a great deal with BMW. The difference in monthly payments- RIGHT time vs WRONG time is staggering. |

Sort of both? We had planned to order later this year, but noticed our dealer's web site listed an m340i almost exactly like what we would have ordered (highly unusual), and the deal was right. Turned out it was not yet in stock--so we sort of adopted a car-in-process.
This is the second time with this dealer that already had what we wanted when I expected to have to order. When my m235i vert came off lease, I went to talk to them about ordering and they had a perfectly optioned m240i vert sitting on the lot. |

i ordered mine from stock in Germany. I heard factory in Europe is closed due to coronavirus and dealer also offered a discount on the stock car. I'm waiting for delivery, it should arrive in few weeks (again due to traffic restrictions in place in Europe)

I found mine on the lot used with 3000 miles.. Saved me $12,000 off the new sticker price. Color and every option I wanted so couldn't pass it up!

Ordered for PCD. PCD cancelled due to stupid fucking coronavirus pandemic. Car sent from dealer that I ordered it from 1,000 miles away. Then a week long ordeal of transport company delaying my delivery, miscommunication, broken down transport trucks, more delays, more shit customer service and lack of communication, unfulfilled refunds, and finally I got my car. I absolutely love it but what a fuckin' nightmare of a delivery. Supposed to be in Asheville on vacation right now ripping through the Blue Ridge Mountains in my new Bimmer. Ok I'm done bitching. So yeah, anyways, I ordered my car.

Custom order, including some individual options. Especially color combination was a must (Dravitgrau/cognac witth leather dashboard). In Belgium most people order black with black.

I bought used, just like I always do with BMW's and MB's. 6000 miles, 6 months old, equipped exactly the way I wanted, 52 sticker paid 38.5. Build date 2/19...I had no idea that would end up being a unicorn for someone that tunes like I do. I would be so disappointed if I got a newer one!

It's already tuned. From the sounds of people in the software update thread, they won't update the software even if you ask them to. But I'll be sure to ask them NOT to update the software, mine works fine.

Over the past twenty years it's been six custom builds and five Performance Center deliveries in South Carolina. A no cost extra benefit of new.
Then a leisurely drive back home, passing through the Tail of the Dragon. https://bmwperformancecenter.com

That’s my most likely combo, or it was. With Corona that’s likely at least 6 months so I might start looking at what’s in stock.
