M5 Production time

Its been a year that i traded my M5 and cant find a proper replacement.
I just snagged the last allocation for NA, and would be a 6MT.

For guys that ordered, how long from production till delivery?

Porsches are 5 months, this is the first time i ordered one for a BMW.

I ordered in march, still waiting for it.
Find out what production week the allocation is for, assuming you don't get any individual options that could alter that. Lots of good info here.

So if it runs 2-5 months, i think it would be perfect. All special individual requests are closed. Only those available at the online configurator is available, but only request is a nonblack color and must be a manual transmission.That works.

My dealer said they have submitted my order to bmw and is waiting on my production number. It's in 112 status.

What other proof can I asked to make sure i am really getting a car? I don't doubt them as they sold me my E60 M5 but this is the first time I have ordered a BMW from the factory.

Your car does not exist until you have a production number.

Until this time, my build has not proceeded to production. It's taking so long. I'm so excited about my specs but it's taking so long.

I ordered my GT3 and it took it 5 months. But my BMW SA said in would take 4-6 weeks from start to delivery.

How come it took yours 4 months? Just curious.

I would write to BMW AG just to make sure. My distributor in Taiwan said no to all my individual requests, I wrote to BMW Germany and a week later the distributor called me and asked me if I contact BMW Germany, and also said yes they can do my requests.
