Placing my order on my first electric car!

BIMMERPOST
     Featured on BIMMERPOST.com
I'll officially be placing my order on an I4 M50 tomorrow. Black sapphire metallic on Tacora red interior, carbon interior and much other goodies that are still currently available to select.

I really wanted the 20's but doesn't look like that's available through the website.

I'm curious if selecting the high performance tire pack will come with the 20's?

Has anyone had any luck ordering 22' models or is it strictly 23' models now?

Congrats. Hope you have a lot of patience! There are no more MY'22's being produced. Not sure why BMW hasn't updated the configurator yet. You will get the 20" wheels with the High Performance package.

You’re a bit late to the party. You are really not placing the order with dealer just putting your name on the waiting list until you get an allocation.

I have talked to a few bay area California dealers and it's about a 9 month wait. Demand is high but it seems production may be increasing. I am taking time to pick options so not done yet. I suppose if someone is ready then just put an order in.

My dealer has a few M50's coming in but nothing that meets my specs. I'd rather order it to my preference

Hopefully so. I may end up with the 23' model. So definitely won't be seeing it anytime soon

You will end up with a '23 model if you get your name on the reservation list, you'll likely get it next summer. If you are lucky you may find dealers that are willing/able to switch Phase 2 preorders to your name/build which will allow you to get it this year, but that will take some digging.

People who pre-ordered June of last year are getting MY23. Someday. Probably before MY24. Almost certainly.

Not to scare anyone but we're probably also going to lose the full $7,500 EV tax credit after July 1 next year. I posted about this under a different topic, but if you do the math there's a good chance BMW hits the 200,000 car cut-off in Q1 2023 so the full credit would get cut in half starting July 1, 2023.

I recently ordered an M50 and hope I have it before then too!

Would the tax cut off get hit for those that order after July 2023?

As the tax credit currently stands (assuming no changes enacted by Congress) the amount of credit is based on delivery date of the vehicle to the customer. For so long as BMW or any other car manufacturer remains under 200,000 rebate-eligible vehicles, the credit is $7,500 for a large battery car like the i4 of X5 45e. Once a manufacturer hits 200,000 the credit begins getting phased out at the start of two quarters later. So for example, if BMW hits 200,000 cars within Q1 2023, the phase out starts at the beginning Q3 2023. From July 1 - Dec 31, 2023, any cars delivered would be eligible for a 50% rebate ($3,750), and from Jan 1 - Jun 30, 2024 it would be reduced another 50% to $1,875 and then eliminated completely.

All of this assumes no changes to current legislation and when BMW hits 200,000 rebate eligible vehicles in Q1 2023. There is a slight chance they hit it in Q4 2022 which would accelerate the phase out by one quarter, but also a chance they don't hit it until Q2 2023 which would extend the phase out by a quarter.

It's whenever you take delivery, not when you order.

While I have an allocation at one dealer. Do you guys recommend I place another allocation at another dealer to see which dealer gives me an allocation quicker?

Given the current chip shortage and what not if you are trying your luck with another dealer allocation go with absolute minimum options you can live with. Common colors, basic stuff like heated seats etc. Ditch parking assistant package and fancy stuff like that. I think better chance it will get built once you get an allocation. Also if your first booking is at a high volume selling dealer pick the second one a low volume one. The wait there maybe shorter since most will overlook them . good luck

Similar spec to mine, ordered mine last week. Carbon interior, 20" wheels, pan roof, Sport seats....just the 9 month wait

The dealer I have my allocation through is owned by Penske, making them a large dealer and receive lots of vehicles. So I may get lucky. Another dealer that's much smaller only has 5 on their allocation list compared to 12 on the current list I'm on

I'm still debating if I want the 20's or not. Living in Michigan, the potholes and brutal winters call for the 19's. May end up switching to the 20's and buying a set of 19's for the winter

I live in Scotland myself and the roads aren't much better! Well aware you sacrifice range and comfort but they look cracking wheels, plus...you get the slightly flared aches, bigger breaks and advanced cooling I'm sure...no brainer
