Respectfully, I really really hope your sources are wrong. The website (likely the last thing to be updated) still says Summer 2024. I’m just looking for affirmation. Any glimmer of hope. I guess this is me now being in the goat rodeo.

That would be quite the disappointment. It would also give me more time to save up some cash.

I’ve learned that there’s always a better deal to be had, but time and energy is worth something. As long as one is happy with their deal and understand that there’s always something left on the table for the transaction, then it’s a good deal. Like in the casinos, the house always wins. My 2...

Congrats!

Today is the day! It doesn’t seem to be up yet on the GM Fleet Order Guide but perhaps corporate time is different and we’re too early.

Thanks for bringing the GM fleet website to my attention. I didn’t know that existed! Hopefully it will be updated later today.

Blackwing King posted somewhere on these forums that ordering begins on 5/16. I contacted the dealership where I have my 5BW in the queue, and they could neither confirm nor deny it. They stated that not all dealerships are necessarily provided the same date. That might be the day when the...

A friend bought the new M3 with the manual. I finally took him up on driving it after he owned it for several months bc I wanted to it be broken in. I was extremely disappointed. Exiting the parking lot was enough to demonstrate that it wasn’t up to par. it’s quite frankly unacceptable. Previous...

The gearbox is a significant difference. The Tremec is vastly superior to the BMW if you desire a manual. I vetoed the M3 for this reason—oh, yeah, and maintenance costs.

I’m hoping they change their tune on the financing for the 5BW when my 2025 arrives. Not holding my breath, though. If there’s a waiting list there’s no reason to incentivize.

Congrats! You had your name on various dealerships for an allocation? I tried to put my name on a second dealership and they were upset that I already had my name on someone else’s list. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Waiting up to a year would be perfectly fine for me as I save up more cash. The two years I keep hearing about is suboptimal but honestly I don’t want anything else. I drove a manual earlier today for the first time and the gearbox is soooo much better than the M3.

Congratulations! I have an order for a CT5-V BW with them. Only a month into the waiting... sigh...

I appreciate you sharing your experience with me; I will take it into consideration as I am looking forward to the 2025, which are said to be going into production after April. It will also afford me a bit more time to save up a bit more cash. Congrats on yours!

Thanks for this feedback. I really do want to wait for the 2025, though. It will also provide me with some more time to save up some cash. I'll look for other dealers that do not charge above MSRP.
