Let’s rewind a bit: I positioned the order on August twenty second, 2022, and took supply on July thirty first, 2023. The wait was excruciatingly lengthy—virtually a full yr! The unique dealership performed hardball, always pushing me again in line and even prompt I pay a $10k markup to get bumped up. I wasn’t about to drop that type of money on an Alpine White M3—perhaps for an Particular person colour, however not this one. So, I canceled the order after months of ready and, via a buddy within the enterprise, linked with an area dealership. Shoutout to Konrad for making the magic occur and taking good care of me!
