2017 Grand Sport M7 Coupe

TPW 8/22

Scheduled to come off the line on 8/25

Who else has an 8/22 TPW?

I'm taking the buyer's tour, so I'll be there! Anyone else taking a buyer's tour during this week?

Could you outline timelines of your order from start.
I am working on an order and wondering how long it took to get TPW.

Well, a good portion of the time between my initial order date and the date I received a TPW was during the M7 constraint. That makes my timeline basically incomparable to normal orders, unfortunately.

I just received the good news that my GS Also has a TPW for 8/22! That manual constraint was a killer. It came out like the week after I ordered the car.

Mine is also scheduled for 8/22. C7 Coupe Z51 M7.

Waiting for the M7 constraint to end was not fun! Ordered at the beginning of June.

Congrats guys. I ordered my car May 24th and got caught on the M7 constraint and it is now caught up in the red caliper constraint. What is next?
