So after getting a delivery date of 12/26, I had to reschedule for 12/29 because I'll be out of town from 12/26-12/28. Talked to the service center and asked if it was possible to get 12/24 and they said that currently that's the day they expect the car to arrive, so the 26th is the earliest they could do it. They did said it's possible the car would arrive earlier, but I fear I've eliminated myself from contention by having to schedule for 12/29.

At any rate. 35 days from order to VIN, 12 days from VIN to delivery date (not including my reschedule). Looking at the spreadsheet in the other thread, this is pretty much dead on the averages for Texas.

I haven't heard much from AZ peoples waiting for 2021 M3s, but received my VIN this morning for a white, LR, FSD, black interior. I ordered on Oct 17th, have an old ford as a trade in that isn't worth anything.

Like a few others, over the last day or so all forecasted delivery dates disappeared, then the VIN this morning. The dates have disappeared two other times over the last few weeks, only to come back with later forecasted dates. This time came back with a VIN and a delivery date of Dec 16-21st.

4h 51m drive with one other drop off means after 7pm at least. Works for me!

In Phoenix ordered 10/22 MSM/Black. No vin shown, no delivery estimate on account. Called SA yesterday, expecting it any day now. Hoping for delivery by the 23rd, for my birthday!

My SA told me that I need to take delivery within 3 days of car arriving at center 12/26. Is that true? I’m having trouble getting out of work during weekday.

SA did not go as far to say that I will lose it. They cannot expect me to drop everything in the middle of the week to pick up car.

I ordered a 2021 M3 LR on Monday (12/14). SA told me to expect VIN tomorrow, and my account says delivery DEC 25-31. Is that credible? If I receive a VIN, can I assume car will be delivered for sure??? I need to get rid of the other car, because Tesla offered me peanuts. But need to travel Jan 14 to Austin. Don't want to sell the trade until I'm sure car will arrive, and on time. But don't want to pay 50 grand and keep the other car either... if I can avoid it. And yes, I'm very uneasy about having to pay for a freaking car in advance, and that long. Oh, and pay MSRP, which I've never done in my life. Ha ha.

Delivery notification via text message received this morning, went online and scheduled for pickup Monday the 21st. I have to admit I really like not dealing with the dealer-salesperson-manager-financedepartment-upsell-endlesspaperwork dance & nightmare.
