Can anyone validate this?
Allocations may have been filled with orders. I'll check with my dealer tomorrow, I've got a TB M440 on order set to arrive in early March.

Yes, this. The Think coffee or chocolate milk (maybe a little bit darker than those) with the mocha color, and think of... well, a bottle of cognac, or of bourbon, and that color is closer to the cognac color. The colors actually match up well with what they're called, for once.

I was able to place an order for a TB M340 just before the end of the year. My SA told me I would have had to wait until potentially March for the next set of German allocations to post if we didn't snag one in December. I wonder if this could be the issue? Otherwise, TB was definitely available to order as recently as December.

Hey There. I was able to get Tanzanite Blue with Oyster from my dealer BMW of Manhattan). The order was approved January 11, 2021. It is a corporate store so they might have some pull on getting the color. I was faced with the same situation and he put n the request and it was granted. . If you want I can give you my sales person contact. Let me know
My car is now online to be painted. Checked last night.

Test drove a Mineral Gray with the Cognac interior. That was really nice but not what I wanted. It was a very distant 2nd choice if I couldn't get the TBII with the oyster. The mocha is way too dark for such a small car. I have the same issue with black interior on the 3. Mocha is discontinued for 2021.

TB is a priority 1 color, it is a regular option and requires no special approval

However, TB is only available on German builds as the plant in Mexico is not setup with TB or dravit. You need your dealer to see if they have or can get a hold of a German build allocation. (Sometimes larger networks with multiple stores can horse trade)

Appreciate the replies everyone. I was able to order my M340i build in TB after all

The sales guy was trying to order my build through the Mexico plant and that’s why TB wasn’t available. Once he switched over to German everything worked!

Super pumped and now the wait begins...I was able to get a solid deal too which I’ll be posting in the other thread.

Hi All. Just to give everyone an update. My car was completed and out of the Factory. It is waiting to be sent to the Port for shipment. This was fast considering that the order was only approved on January 11. Lets see how long it takes to get to the dealer. Will keep you all posted

Hi All,
Here is the latest. On Monday the tracking showed the car still at the Port. I checked this evening and now indicates that it is on it's way. Probably another 2-3 weeks until it shows up

I ordered my M340i Xdrive on 1/10 with a build week of 6 but it just entered production yesterday. I wish I had seen this thread earlier as I would have loved to have ordered the TB. But since it was not available on the configurator I assumed it was no longer available. When I asked at a dealership they mentioned that it was no longer available on the M340i.

I opted for Mineral Gray, which is still nice but would've loved the TB color. Slightly Bummed.

Bummer Bud. I went to the dealer on January 2 and I had the same issue as TB was not in the configurator. The sales rep was able to get it by putting in a request with Germany. Not sure why your dealer didn't even try and put in a request as individual for the TB for you, Not going to speculate on that. But the good thing is that your car will still be SPECTACULAR. Enjoy it when it shows up and drive safe.

This. Munich-built 3er's are by special request only and for us Canadians, there's about a 6-week lead time so you would take delivery no earlier than 10 weeks from when the vehicle enters production (6 weeks) to when it ships, lands at port and then en route to dealership (4 weeks, assuming no delays).
