I have recently ordered an M40i in the UK
The dealer had a slot, so it’s coming before the end of September. Spec is as follows Sophisto Grey Individual Tarfuto Merino Leather M Sport Plus pack, that includes
Rombocile aluminium trim Apple CarPlay preparation Galvanic finish to control surrounds Heated steering wheel Acoustic glass Active cruise control with stop and go Exterior mirrors - electrically folding with anti-dazzle The only thing I`m not sure that i`ve made the right decision with is the lack of the 360 camera which I have on my 640d and find quite useful. That said, the viability from a 640d is very poor and I`m hoping it`ll be better in the X3. |

But as some people explained to me somewhere above, you can just enter VIN's into any of the online BMW vin lookup sites, such as mdecoder.com, and trial and error, find which was the last produced for each day by going through them and looking at completion date. So since yours ends 2882, you could try entering like the last 7 digits with ones ending like 2732, and if that one comes up, keep trying bigger numbers till you see what they're up to. |

I went back a couple weeks on the 0Z0's, and seems like usually 40-50 a day (excluding Sunday) for those M40's. So maybe producing 2-2.5x as many LD9 x30's as 0Z0 m40's? |

My M40i reached the VPC in Oxnard yesterday and should be at my dealer by Friday (August 24th) and I can pick it up this weekend (hopefully).
It's about to be the longest week ever!

That is strange. I have read the email and it is not anywhere to be found. It just says "You are entered to win" and a bunch of boilerplate.

Reason is the paint booth spray guns need to be purged and cleaned before a color change. Doing this between each car would waste way to much time and cleaning solvents. Hope that helps. |

The genius said it would be in transit to the dealership on Wednesday but it's already on its way! That was fast.

Other notes of excitement: I got really excited when the BMW Connected App allowed me to add the car. But I need the confirmation code it sends the car . It would of been so awesome to use the 360 camera to see it on the road. Tons of pictures will be incoming and I'll make a video since I just got a DJI Osmo 2 gimbal I'm planning on making a video of my dashcam install. I've been doing tons of research and I think a install video of the cable run in the X3 and the installation of the Power Magic Power would be worthwhile. Plus it's the perfect test for using the Joby + Osmo.
