Ordered my M3 LR on 24th September, heard nothing for the next few weeks (as expected).
I was allocated a VIN yesterday, I'm hoping for a mid Nov collection. My original delivery estimate was November but after contacting CS they told me it's likely to be "
Late November / December".
Also the 8th character of my Vin is
"B" so it looks like the same battery for me too.
I would be a little annoyed if the LR did get a battery bump with models made later this year in December or January next but working in tech I've learnt that as soon as something's made there is already something in production to supersede it.
Looks like were all in / on
the same boat waiting for the text message to arrange collection!
