No no no... you’re paying for some stickers and a wing (ooops wait, a wing?) LOLOLOL

Well, seasonality dictates that this is the peak, not the average. Also, they’re still dumping 2020s... more earnestly I might point out. The car is definitely going well, but mostly with heavy discounts, limited editions notwithstanding.

I remember they were sorta harder to find last year too. Just weird that searches don’t show more than a handful nationwide.

Anyone know why there are so few white 2021s out there? Seem to be a ton of Tungten, red, and black. Can someone with system access look to see how many white Premium 3.0 cars are incoming?

Drive it for a while. You get used to the wheel.

When I had mine (all 350 miles I drove it) I had it in Sport exclusively. My upcoming replacement will also be in Sport exclusively.

I was showing this topic to a friend of mine who owns a bunch of exotics. Interestingly he was saying this happens - specifically there were a bunch of GT3 RS owners who purchased cars without the correct wheels and hood while Porsche sorted out their supply chain issues. Still a crazy thing...

Puzzled by the decode errors. Never suggested the dealers were at fault or that it would be the end of the world. I’m suggesting I don’t feel sorry for them and that it’s poetic justice after they’ve imposed their greedy policies on this vehicle.

Greedy dealers advertise A91 (without even having the cars yet) Greedy dealers shamelessly mark up car Greedy dealers hit with delays Greedy dealers forced to delay sale and put customer at risk -or- Greedy dealers must deliver an incomplete car for LESS money Greedy dealers must potentially...

I would not want to risk the health of the battery letting it sit at the delivery center for 7 months... or flat spots on the tires.

No actually. That N52 engine was bulletproof. Some said it was their best modern engine.

BMW is pretty explicit about leaving the initial oil in long enough for a proper break in. They’ve stipulated that for years and years. I had an N52 engine that I followed their guidance and it never burned a drop of oil in 11 years of ownership. I say follow the guidance in the manual.

I never really thought about it, but I guess a phased delivery would give the early dealers an unfair advantage to sell at higher markups for a brief time when a smaller number are available and hype/interest is highest.

Interesting. I really hope this isn’t indicative of the relative quality coming out of the factory... I’ve resigned myself to not having a purchase opportunity on a 3.0 premium for at least a month and likely not for two months.

Actually, over the weekend one of the YouTube auto channels was explaining that car transport is in much greater demand currently and is much costlier than it used to be. Factor in all the used cars and auction shuffling going on and I’d be willing to bet that at least some of the dwell time at...

That actually appears to be different. More like the special blue they put on the Tacoma and 4Runners. Looks less metallic or possibly not at all metallic.

Boggles the mind how every other car can be delivered properly for the past year and this is still happening.

Yeah the dealer isn’t supposed to let you leave until they set you up.

Wait. Seriously?? For a non-A91??
