No wonder I didn't catch that...as soon as I saw that horrid color, I moved quickly to the next color scheme without reading that it was a matte finish!

---

I didn't know it was matte until today.
Like you I found the color so disturbing I never looked at it very close :)

I want to say, "What was BMW thinking?" with that color, but clearly they weren't!

Has anyone got a firm delivery date yet? My dealer says my order is definitely on BMW's system, no date, but they are not expecting delivery before April.

I have had no confirmation of delivery date yet either, but the dealer thought it may be March / April. I certainly hope so as that was part of the reason I ordered one before seeing them in the metal which is a first for me. I wanted to ensure I would have the new bike for the summer months.

When BMW gets tired of hearing complaints about boring BMW color choices they come up with colors like Austin Yellow to shut us up :)

The dealer should ring you and say the bike is being assembled in BMW, then they ring you to say its being shipped and then it turns up

The wrong colour

Ask your dealer to provide the information as it proceeds from the order forward. If they know the order is in the system they should be able to see a status number and it should have a production week generated soon after. In the US once number 150 is assigned it takes about 10 weeks to dealer delivery I was told and mine was exactly 10 weeks. When I ordered my 2016 here in the US they provided me updates each step along the way and once it left the assembly plant dock they gave me the shipping container number so I could follow travel to the ship and the ship as it progressed down the European coast and when it arrived in the US. I could not follow across the water due to security of the ship.

If you have a bike on order, your salesperson can easily check its progress, based on standard BMW codes, as follows (based on auto production, but most still apply):

0 Order deleted by NA
17 Order not Specified
37 Order is at BMW NA
87 Production Week Assigned
97 Order sent to AG
100 Order deleted by AG
101 Error in data transmitted
102 Special Order (no Prod Week)
105 Order out of Prod. Period
111 Order Accepted at AG
112 Order scheduled for Production
150 Production Started
151 Body Shop Started
152 Paint Shop Started
153 Assembly Started
155 Production Completed

Just got a Mail from my Dealer:

"
Hello Stefan,

after we ordered your RS at BMW, we did not receive a confirmed delivery or production date.

Afterwards, I checked with our area manager and did not receive a very satisfying answer regarding the start of the RS models.

He says it is not in the realm of the impossible that the RS will come onto the market until September. Concrete information regarding the planning we get allegedly still in January.

Of course, the machine ordered now would be one of the first, but it will probably take longer than it will be in May. "

Is he saying May or September?

I would not sign an order form unless there is a specified date in the contract. Such uncertainty is not acceptable in my view. BMW should not allow dealers to take deposits unless they can specify a delivery date.

Actually, I've never ordered a vehicle in such a way, any way :) I tend to buy on impulse, "yes, that one, how much? Lower. Lower. Lower. Done. Can it be ready by 4pm?"
