Looks great! How long did it take going from Order Received into Production? My order received email from BMW came Sept 25th and has been in that state since. The dealer told me I was number 2 in the order bank for them.

To OP: So, what's happening with your M5CS?

Do we know one another?

Is that the PCD up here in Greenville? The last I was told (albeit uncertain) was that they might not be doing PCDs in Spartanburg for cars not built at that plant but that they'd check when my order gets close to coming in. I hope they're wrong!

Yes, Correct. M Cars aren’t build there, but you can have your dealer ship the car there directly from Germany and you can experience the delivery at the Performance Center.

I have been on this site since 2007 and have liked your posts over the last year. I am just curious, where does your M5CS go if you get the G90 M5?

I have scheduled it for Dec Delivery since i have a free track day, might as well get it done the same time.

Arguably the best reason to do PCD delivery these days is because your local dealership never gets to touch the car before you take delivery. My local dealer likes to do shady crap like tinting windows and adding ceramic coat and then charges out the butt for those add-ons. By doing PCD they never get a chance to do any of that.

This is a great point. It shouldn't be necessary though. How slimy are some dealers?

That is pretty shady, I try to always get a copy of my sales order showing $0 for all of those types of items. But I have walked away from a car deal for that exact reason before. I was buying a car from inventory instead of ordered and they said “all of this stuff is already on there so we have to leave it on”. It was $5k of “fluff” and I walked away.

The last time I was at my local BMW dealer, which is a Rick Hendrick operation, I'm pretty sure they had Window Tint $895 added to all the window stickers in the showroom. And ceramic coat $1300 was also added. I just laughed, but it defintely shows me that if I ever do order a car from them it means I need to do PCD just to avoid that stuff.
The ceramic coat is a big problem because if you have ceramic coat then it means you can't add PPF unless the coating is sanded off the car first. So their BS ceramic coating would create a big, expensive hassle.

[Moewron]

Depending on the quality, that's not a bad price for tinting, I don't think, is it?
The Ceramic Coating, yeah, that's a lol.

[subterFUSE]

It's a bad price for window tint if they don't use the brand or darkness that you wanted, so you need to redo it.

And the ceramic coat has to be sanded off the car just so you can do PPF, but who wants to sand a brand new car? So basically the dealer has ruined the paint by doing their own ceramic.
