I thought so as well but it started deviating so I figured, what the heck.

This is pure mental masturbation. No one ACTUALLY has one of these cars "reserved" for them, yet.

I did that. The first time I saw a 135i in person was the day I went to pick it up. It was quite an experience after being on the waitlist for 1 year.

Your dealer has a default allocation and being #1 on the list guarantees you the first car. Although not in ink it's pretty much in stone. Grats!

Well, who knows what will happen, but I just re-confirmed with my dealer via email, and here's what I got back (well, the part of it that applies to this conversation):
"Hi Kurt! You are on top of the list!! I will keep you posted." FYI

Well, you can forget all that. The new car is fitted with a turbocharged straight six. Turbocharging? In an M car? That’s like putting gravy on an ice cream. - Jeremy Clarkson, discussing the S65 and then S55 M3 engines. |

It is funny that everyone from the US are talking about hard to justify 40-50k. It would be close to 130k when it hits our shores.

Yeh exactly, your poor Australian cousins are more concerned about how close in price will it be to a M3 sedan, so as to help justify the purchase, which is ~$145k plus options. Given our $ is at almost at parity with the US$ nowadays what gives!

Hello...lurker here. Previous E30 owner (sniffle sniffle), proud manual (uh oh, did I say that...) '09 E83 owner now.
I've been waiting for years for something like this to show up. Almost pulled the trigger on a CPO M6, but that was just too porky. It sounds like they've listened up and stripped it back down to basics - less weight, decent powerplant...lots of things to evoke thoughts of an E30M3. When I got wind of this some time back - I called my dealer. This holds great promise. Currently #1 spot at my dealer! Woohoo! Thank you Kay Segler. |

I am definitely in. I'm #1 on my dealers list. My dealer is pretty small, so I hope they get at least one allocation. I've decided on Valencia Orange unless they end up offering a blue color.
I asked my dealer about European delivery. They said it might be doable but not to expect a discount. Tempting to do it despite the lack of discount in order to spend 1-2 weeks blasting around Europe. |

I am so in. the N54 is a fantastic powerplant and adding the M-bits with a mandatory manual transmission makes me happy. I already decided on alpine white to match the e30.

My worry is no ED - what a shame that would be. This car was born to be driven through Germany. Mountains, autobahn, the ring? C'mon -they can't deny us that can they? |

My dealership indicated they will ask for a more substantial deposit (~$3000) early next year when they start to get more official information regarding allocations and production dates. Maybe they will be able to give solid answer regarding ED at that time. |

I have come across the number being 350 in the USA. I can't verify this for a fact, however.
If accurate, then each dealership might expect 1-2 1M Coupes. However, given differences in sales volume, some larger dealerships will probably get 3-5 vehicles whereas others only 1 vehicle. I think this underscores the importance of getting on a waiting list ASAP. |

I am totally, totally going to buy this car and my deposit has been in since early September.
Tell me, has anyone gone to place a deposit and been told that there were 2 or 3 deposits already ahead of them? I do believe that eventually that will be the case... |

I'm in.. I even emailed my dealer to put a $3000 deposit, but he refused because it's not in sale yet and price is not announced and I need to put %25 of the price as deposit if I want to ever put a deposit... But I still gonna buy one and I'm waiting of the release and the price...
