Congrats on the build though.
I was first delayed by the MSport brake shortage, and then they ran out of EB2 paint

Has been painful, but I'm looking forward to a big upgrade from me E82!

As I understand it, the problem has now been overcome. So I wouldn't expect any new orders to be as delayed as mine, though they must be working through a bit of a backlog.

I've noticed some EB2 cars arriving on the forum lately, so it's possible that they only limited the availability of EB2 on some models - if the problem was they couldn't acquire enough paint rather than a total inability to procure any.

On the plus side, there are very few EB2 4ers near me. They're mostly red, but otherwise black or grey. So may have worked in my favour!

I was considering grey or white, then I went to the dealership and saw the estoril, it's an awesome colour

Unlucky man! The F30 chassis will have run out by time you're up for production!

An update for those who are interested...

The build code finally moved to assembley complete on Thursday last week! I'm hopeful I'll be able to pick it up this week, though seems pretty unlikely given the average delivery experience. One can hope
