So where's the US online builder?
…and these cars are supposed to be on show floors in two months but you can't even build one online yet? Of course there's the order guide, but let's get the online builder out already, what's the holdup?

My car entered production on Monday, so I am hoping for a late February delivery.

I am hoping.
I have had a new BMW show up in a little as 5 weeks, and a different car took almost 8...there's just no rhyme or reason...fingers crossed...

He did tell me that the BMWFS programs were released for the M235--60% residual 15K a year!

It shouldn't surprise me though, I usually know more than they do when it comes to new models. |

According to him, the first wave of cars are all going to be dealership demos--I had been #1 on their list, but that car was not configurable in the system--BMW wants all the demo cars in the first wave to be the same. So I fell to #2, and my production started this week, instead of in December, which is when I originally thought my car would be getting built.

My real issue with BMW's timing on this is the fact that this will already be a very short model year. Why shouldn't I wait for MY2015 if the 2014 information is this late to the table? Some of us really need to plan out this purchase, and the lack of transparency is kind of hurting. Of course, we've gotten a lot of backdoor information, but give us something official!

But that too depends how late the '15s come out, maybe they will be pushed back a few months, not arriving at dealers until this winter. |

Everybody leasing should keep in mind that BMWFS will allow you to extend your lease for up to six months or longer so plan accordingly.
My lease expired in October and I'm planning on an April ED, but only if ED is NOT part of dealer allocation. Otherwise I'll push the limit on the lease extension. |

They don't even have the full price list. How can they have a builder..?
How much does the LSD cost..? It is standard equipment on their competitors cars. LSD should be standard on any car with a M on it, but BMW will try to charge $1,900. |

I honestly don't care for the Dakota leather--it has always felt halfassed to me, but I want the dimming mirrors, so I checked the box for the premium package...

Ugh. I really want to get the M-Performance diffuser and black kidney's and maybe the exhaust. This process is stressful.
