i8 production and delivery time

TTyza · 08-18-2016, 04:49 PM

Hi Guys,

New i8 started production today, any guesses on when it will be completed and make it stateside? Dealer is telling me late September.

Thank you!

You're dealer is right, about 6-8 weeks depending on how inland your dealer is in the US. East coast deliveries are the quickest. They have to spend more time on the road to get more inland.

If you're on the west coast, the ship has to go through Panama and drop your car at Port Hueneme. This article is slightly old, most of the info there is still applicable: http://www.bmwblog.com/2009/07/14/ho...d-to-delivery/.

Question-

Why put in an order when there are so many 2016s out there available in the various combos it comes in? Did you go individual or something?
