I would love some confirmation from anyone who's had similar news.
I placed my order for an M5 with the following specs in November '17:
- Brilliant White Metallic
- Tartufo Full Merino Leather
- 20" Bicolor wheels
- M Sport Exhaust System
I was promised February production with delivery happening in late March or early April. I just received an email from my dealer saying that there is a shortage in supply of Merino leather, and all builds with Merino leather will be delayed to May 2018 production or later!
That means I will receive the car realistically only in July or August. I am actually considering cancelling my order and shopping for something else.
