Lucky you! I was recently told that I won't even get a production slot until maybe as late as February, if so, means delivery not until April or May. Sales rep said it's the end of the year thingie that's got everything screwed up.
I'm about to go to something else. This is ridiculous. |

I think it's unfair to include time spent waiting for a dealer to get an allocation/production slot/quota because that wait can be avoided by choosing a dealer who already has one available.
The weeks at sea do seem to go slow. |

Happens to be the biggest dealership in the U.S. - San Antonio and I negociated a decent 6% discount. So if anyone is going to get an allocation it's them. This isn't an X5 which are a dime a dozen and built here. It's rare and a different animal. |

Buying an "exclusive" car weeds out the masses. It is rare to see someone driving a new Z4. That is a good thing. It sets us apart from the more common folk. If you don't want to be special, buy something else. If something else is easy to buy, then it certainly is not special.

Are you tracking the ship’s voyage? Going to drive you crazy as well. My ship went to the Caribbean first if I remember correctly and remained there for a couple days. Not sure if they had shore leave and enjoyed the weather, partying and stocking up on rum or what....

HAHAH - Yeah, I now know what ship it's on and can track it from https://www.marinetraffic.com/ The ship is in the north sea and next going to Belgium. My friends think I'm nuts tracking the ship...this is not good for my OCD! Last edited by jcard71; 12-22-2020 at 01:40 PM.. |

I ordered at the beginning of October and my car is now on its way from the port in South Carolina to the Performance Center. Taking delivery in a few weeks. It was not easy getting a production slot. I missed it entirely in September and even in October my dealer had to jump through hoops to get me one. This is my first time ever ordering a car. The wait has been tough but it will be here so soon now!

Ordering
Definitely a beautiful car worth waiting on.. I test drove it- see photos -and was awestruck- have owned 2 M3s, a prior hardtop Z4, a Shelby Mustang and an Audi TT S- I’ve raced Panoz at Road Atlanta & Ferrari at Las Vegas Speedway- This car is very fast, comfortable, beautiful top- top ergonomics & electronics inside & comfortable which u never get with the above

I told him, sure it knocks more off the price, otherwise I will come in and pay for it when I see it in person. God I hate dealers! |

A Little Upgrade
Just realized that the car in the picture isn't the one you spec'd out in an earlier post. It looks like you upgraded just a little bit. Did you get a similar deal on this car? The car you talked about earlier was a sparsely optioned Sport Line s30i in Mediterranean Blue with an MSRP of $54,595 with a deep discount. I would guess the car pictured would be a few thousand more as it is an M Sport with the Dynamic Handling option. If you got it for the price you mentioned in your early post you got the deal of the century!
