Msport/metallic color delay
I had placed my order in March, and heard some speculation on this forum that Msports and metallic colors were delayed until May. This may be common knowledge, but I was able to confirm this through the "genius" call center. Apparently, they wanted to build up inventory of more base models.

Great info, thanks! Did they give any indication when in May? I wish BMWUSA would at least update the configurator so we could see color options, etc.

I was initially told my build date was the first week in May. When I called and got this info, he said it would be the second week of May (starting with May 5th). Well, we will see if I hear anything tomorrow...

I agree. I guess they didn't want too many people ordering M-sports that they weren't making? Who knows. It makes sense to have it up so people with interest and little car knowledge don't think the car only has 4 colors, especially since you can order all the colors at the dealership.

Just an update from my dealer, apparently there is a delay in the new front bumper of the M-sport, which is causing the hold-up. Kind of ironic given that so many people hate the new front end and it is causing this trouble. Anyways, according to them, they order the pieces for each car individually when one is purchased and do not carry them at the factory.
