I actually went to my dealer yesterday and sat down with the sales manager. Before even telling him my order specs, he told me if you're delayed it's because you probably ordered individual leather. The Brilliant white metallic adds about 4-6 weeks to production which was already factored into my production/delivery time when I placed the order. Apparently they have a shortage of the 3 choices of individual leather (Smoke White, Tartufo, Caramel).
So, I basically made a decision that I will not take a 2018 MY delivered in August, I would rather wait for July production and take a 2019 MY. I also asked him to find me a solution and get me in an M2 or M3 at no or minimal cost (wishful thinking) until my M5 arrives.
Let's see what he can come up with!
