I was contacted by the dealership today just confirming a few details and getting the final paperwork signed.
We had a conversation about new M40i’s as there been discussions on here about delivery dates and availability. He told me they got an email from BMW this morning saying that they were not to guarantee delivery this year of certain models, the M40i was included in this list.
There were only 10 M40i build slots for this calendar year left today but now Sars has ordered one that’ll be 9.
They were told only to confirm orders if they were within their current allocation or they could do a dealer swap with someone they knew had one in their allocation.
Not great if you’re looking for one but hopefully will hold residuals for owners who already have them or have confirmed orders. This will also possibly keep the price of 35i/35iS up at if that’s the engine you want the market’s not going to be flooded with 3 litre G29’s
