Thinking of going down the allocation list
Hi guys, it's actually my 1st post so pls be nice, been a lurker for the past 2 months
anyway, got a call from my CA yesterday and told me that I am #4 on the list and that the car should be ready by end of this year. It's my first time ordering a car and I usually buy cars that are on the lot already. I haven't gone through process of choosing my options yet. the reason why I am thinking of going down the list is because I have read in the other thread that some M performance parts will be available later this year and I'm not sure if it's worth the wait or I might lose my spot. mainly I want to get the CF roof and I'm not sure if this can be port/dealer installed. was also thinking of exhaust, suspension, CF side mirror covers and CF trunk lid. thoughts? and any updates on the M performance parts if it will be available later this year? thanks!

CF Roof? Yikes. From the info known so far it's a dealer installed option. No one way in hell I'd ever let a dealer do that work, it'll never be right. Mine couldn't even successfully install the CF Spoiler on my M235i, and they tried 5 times with two different spoilers. They're a BMW certified body shop. I can't even imagine how badly the roof would come out.
I'm in the same boat as you, I'm #3 on the list and been told I should get it by the end of the year, who knows though? I'd like to get the exhaust, but read it's going to be super expensive ($5k+). I did the CF mirror caps on my M235i the same time I did the spoiler. The fit wasn't correct and they couldn't get those right either. I had the dealer take them off and refund my money. I like the trunk lid, but from what I've read it comes unpainted and is dealer installed. No thanks, for the same reasons above. Maybe I'm overly cynical, but I just don't see many of the parts working out well in the end. I learned my lesson on my M235i and won't be repeating that mistake again. |

The M2C much like the M2 will only be available if you order, a customer walks, or dealer loads up the car with parts you don’t need.
Do not move down on any list! Keep your spot and make the decision once your allocation is ready to go. It could be 7 months or a year (possibly more) to get an allocation. It is only a 2 year production. When the reviews start to roll in, it is going to be much harder than now to get your spot. |

I did the same. Im number 1 at my dealer and they called Tuesday with an allocation. I requested they swap allocations with number 2 on the list. He becomes one, Im 2.

I'm hoping it's as easy as I'm thinking, email now to have me #1 for allocation in whichever month (late Feb?) to get me delivery in April? Although, just the sound of "2020 M2C" does have a nice ring to it as well. |
