M3 and M4 UK pre-orders at 200+
There's a news article over at Autocar saying that there are already over 200 UK pre-orders of the M3 and M4!
Some exclusive pics on their site too. http://www.autocar.co.uk/car-news/ne...exclusive-pics

If you read the article, it says a 700/1200 ratio of M3/M4, or roughly 40/60%.
This says a lot about the new M3, because the old 4-door model sold somewhere like 20/80% compared to coupe. (numbers differ per region) Or maybe people hang on to the 'M3' badge... |

Of the four I know of, mine is the only owner order, the others are all specialist dealers looking to cash in, one has ordered one of each.
Just re read the article, the numbers quoted are just sales targets. |

Just got my delivery date- week 27 which is between 1-6 of July. Apparantly I'm first and only M3/M4 order for the dealership which I find strange after reading this article as the dealer is a large one in London

delivery date or build date?
usually the week is the build date, and delivery is the following week(s) I plan to de badge the m4 and put m3 badges back on. m3 always has and always will be a coupe for me. Neil.

What colour are you going with? I've found it difficult to choose this time.

It does seem strange. I phoned up today and was told I could have one of the first cars in June/July.
This would imply either non existent sales or unlimited and rapid supply.

i think allocations between dealers is varied. so some in the south maybe selling out, north gets fewer etc etc

Got my delivery date of 21st June - lets see if they stick to that or not. I'm sure they were saying 150 M3's and 800 M4's are allocated to UK for first year.

What to believe?
My dealer (Sytner) says he has just one M3 allocation for the whole year. He says the other Sytner dealers also have about one each. Can this be true??

This can't be true surely? According to the article BMW are hoping to sell 700 M3s in the first year, this will be impossible if dealers can only have an allocation of 1 as there are only approx 150 dealers in the UK

i think certain dealers get more dependant on previous M sales.
Park Lane seem to have plenty.

Are there really as many as 150 BMW dealers in the UK? My dealer said the total UK allocation of M3s for 2014 was 120! He was a young guy who was basically bshting to try and get me to sign on the dotted line. He was also trying to tell me that Sakhir Orange was not available as a paint colour
