SO M4 on order

I came into an inheritance, which turned out to be nearly double what I expected when my mother passed away earlier this year. I decided that I would invest most of it through my stockbroker but leave out enough for an M4 and maybe a new Honda Gold Wing, as well as some other things. I am currently on my third BMW, a 2010 an AW E46 335 M-Sport coupe. Had my inheritance been what I expected, I probably would not be ordering a new car.



I ordered an M4 three weeks ago. I got a call from my CA on Monday (8/11) saying that a production number has been assigned and that production is set for Week 41. I hope I get it by Thanksgiving but I won't hold my breath.



I had test driven an F80 M3 a couple of weeks before I ordered. (HOLY S**T!!!) It had the DCT but I want a coupe with 6MT.



I wanted to see a coupe before I ordered so I checked the local dealers' web sites to see if one was available. A local dealer had one in Sakhir Orange so I went down to look at it. My original intent was order MW with SB leather, but when I saw it for real, I then knew I wanted mine in SO with the SO interior.



In the meantime, my check came from the estate, so I quickly went back the the dealer and ordered the car the way I wanted it.



Here is what I'm getting on my M4:



Sakhir Orange Metallic

Sakhir Orange/Black Full Leather

Executive Package

Adaptive M Suspension

19" Light Alloy Wheels, Style 437

Moonroof

Power Rear Sunshade

Harman Kardon sound

Enhanced USB and Bluetooth

6MT



It's going to be a lo-o-ong 3 months or so until my car arrives.
