Do you base your point of view on the vast number of HEA cars (Händler-Erst-Ausstattung - dealer demo cars / launch cars) produced over the past couple of months to be on display at showrooms worldwide. Correct me if I'm wrong, but dealerships are required to buy HEA cars regardless of customer orders: for BMW that's a sold car, for a dealership not necessarily. So the question is whether BMW can also score easy homeruns with non HEA cars (customer orders).
Do you know how G80/G82 customer orders (non HEA cars) are evolving, what's the tendency noticed by your dealer ? Is it like 2015-2016 where customers frantically tried to get hold of a HEA M2 since deliveries release date (April 16, 2016) in order to jump the long queue (for some, the wait lasted even a couple of seasons - M2 production was cranked up late 2016 to meet high demand) ? Does the usual new (generation) M model ordering frenzy also happen with the G80/G82 ?
To get an indication: you mention that you consider ordering a G80/G82 - did your dealer tell you that, if you're not interested in buying the dealer demo launch car on display in the showroom, patience is required because of long waiting lists ? Or did your dealer tell you on the contrary that you can customize your very own G80/G82 and take delivery already someday this Summer ? Are you offered an interesting discount or did your dealer tell you to stick close to MSRP because of massive demand ?

As always, nice post. Completely invalidating the whole "he's proven" part.
Speaking of the M2 order frenze, it brought back memories of being on the 30+ waiting list for an entire year before I was able to get mine. Good times, great car.
