  • M Sport Exhaust System

I was promised February production with delivery happening in late March or early April. I just received an email from my dealer saying that there is a shortage in supply of Merino leather, and all builds with Merino leather will be delayed to May 2018 production or later!

That means I will receive the car realistically only in July or August. I am actually considering cancelling my order and shopping for something else.
A few things I'm scratching my head on here... First, there is no "Brilliant White Metallic" option in the configurator. Second, ALL leather options are some form of Merino leather. Based on what you stated, this would imply that all builds (since all are Merino leather) are delayed to May 2018 or later.

Sounds like the dealer is pulling some trickery or the facts aren't straight.
