Yes, I live in Western Wake County (Raleigh/Cary, etc)....tons of tech and medical jobs here and a huge luxury car market, so yes, I see a lot of Porsches. We are the largest county in the State. We'll compare notes till we get our cars! fyi....I am also in line for a Porsche 911T but would...

Was told two weeks ago it will be built in Sept. Get here and sit in port for 4 weeks due to regulations clearance, hence end of October. I am in the first batch (six cars) they are sending to NC. But believe me, I am not expecting it to be here then.

U.S. depositor from July '21. Still being told I should have my Emira by end of October this year. We'll see.

Don't disagree with anything you are saying, but there are two big reason IMO why to get the Emira. You see Caymans everywhere. An Emira will be a show stopper wherever you go and that is a cool factor for many including me. Also, the gearing on the GTS is too high so you don't get to enjoy the...

Hey, you have to live a little too! It's a balance.

Agreed. I think any car payment over $700.00 is ridiculous. Rates are high and will stay that way a while, use a Credit Union if you can. But if you can only put $10k and finance the rest, don't get the car. If you say you have no debt, well pay at least half in cash. Car debt is a huge loser...

Frustrated as a first edition customer that we can't get any of these new colors. Anyway, here is mine. I had dark verdant but changed it cause it is too dark: Nimbus grey black wheels yellow calipers lower black pack tan interior 6 speed. Supposed to get it by end of October. Not holding my...

This is the absolute right config and colors.

People don't realize how dark dark Verdant is. I saw it in person on Saturday. If the sun is not shining on it, it looks black. I switched to Nimbus grey.

Alcantera looks like crap eventually unless you are meticulous about it's care. I picked leather cause it is so much easier and looks better way longer.

Flow in Greensboro is having a cars and coffee on Aug 12th at the Art Museum in Winston that was supposed to have a car to drive, but now they will have a car (Verdant Green) but you can't drive it.

Agreed. Just don't buy them. The market will correct. Screw these types of dealers. I could afford these cars but no way would I do business with business people who I consider dirtbags. Don't waste your money that you worked for in overpaying for anything. That is how you build wealth. Smart...

I don't think I'd every feel comfortable driving that fast on a public road, but these guys probably do it all the time.

The green is great. The wheels are awful IMO.

You touched on a good point which is the tech. You can get a very nice M4 Comp Xdrive for $90k new. The tech in it is very good and very broad. Does about everything. So much there is a separate manual for it. Completely unlike the BMWs of the last 15 years where I thought the tech was not good...

I just unloaded a 2023 BMW M4 Xdrive Competition. Very nice car and blindingly fast. Will beat many a 911. I had sworn off BMWs but I was very impressed with that car. I bought it to sell it, but it was very nice. super fast.

Exact same with me. Put money down July '21, #4 in line in my State and told October at earliest. I have since got in line for a 911T which they say will take a year, but I bet gets here quicker.

I am #4 in my State, so this mean October is the earliest for anyone in the U.S.

Dealer just emailed me saying October at earliest for my FE due to USA auto certification of the Evora being delayed.

This. Just regularly communicate even if bad news. That would solve much of this.

Frustrating

Yep, that was my message back to the Head of Sales. Just keep people posted even if it is bad news or no news. Be proactive in communication. Pretty basic concept as you said and I told him the same thing.

Head of U.S. sales said there should be a factory update early next week. We'll see.

Talked to my dealer today. They have had no update from the Factory. They still hope it is end of Q1, beginning of Q2 to get their first car. I am 4th in line, but not holding my breath on when it will get here.

Looks great! Thanks for posting.

I am sure your purple will look great!

Looks really nice!

The older BMWs (pre 2005 or so) were awesome. I had a 2001 BMW 525 Wagon with 275k miles. That thing was a tank. A work truck ran me off the road and totalled it. I loved that car.

I met a guy at a car get together who got an Xdrive in a custom purple color. He thought it was great....me, not so much...ha.

You know what they say. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Great you love your ride. BMW had lost me on quality. The last couple BMWs I had (550 and 750) were not good quality mechanically. Every BMW after 2007 seems to leak oil once you hit 70k miles. I will say though that I thought the M4...

The three colors you like are the same for me. I think any of those colors work well with the grill. Mine was $89k new. The only options it did not have that I would still consider was the carbon bucket seats, carbon interior/exterior pack. Someone who ordered it backed out so it wasn't a...

Yeah, in person it really does. Even my son once I got it said his opinion completely changed to where he loved how it looked.. The car looks very aggressive in the front as you can see.

I think that is a great choice.

Minus the crappy quality. Actually I shouldn't crack on Ford too much. Recent BMWs i have had did not blow me away in terms of quality.

I am early on the list for the Emira and should have mine this spring. Yeah, it's definitely a different car than an M4. I will say though you get a hell of a lot more car in an M4 than an Emira. Maybe it is scale of manufacturing, but the technology and drive train in an M4 is way above the...

I'm telling you. Black on black in person with the M4Comp looks bad azz. I wish I had a better picture with the front head on but I got nothing but compliments on this car.

I had black on black and it looked very aggressive IMO. No complaints. I actually think it looks better now than the kidney grill on the previous gen.

If you are looking for a similarly priced alternative, look hard at a BMW M4 Xdrive Competition. I had one for two months before I flipped it and that car is a monster and just checks so many boxes. Supercar fast, 0-60 in 2.9 seconds per car and driver. Excellent technology and more important...

I appreciate that he puts this content out. In my older age I try and stick to not being negative. As long as someone seems like a nice person, that's enough for me.

I'd give it an 8. This is about how I experienced it as well. Engine is what holds it back some. I'd like 50-100 more HP and it is not as refined as other modern engines. Some like the Supercharger sound inside the cabin, I think it is too much. Sounds great from the outside. Also, did anyone...
