It only takes 3 days to build the car. It is done rather quickly. Th ewait id to get to port and on a ship. Then the ship has to fill up and sail across. That is the hardest part. PLus you have to wait until your car finally makes it to the produce line.

Yes, you are very lucky. I think your dealership could find a car with exact same options you want in their reserved slot. Otherwise, it is impossible!

[/quote]My dealer had a generic dealer spec'd car reserved but they were able to change the color and add the SMG that I was looking for. That probably saved a couple weeks in the process. You might want to check with a couple of dealers to see if one of them would be willing to do that for you.

[/quote]Yeah, I did a same thing for my 545 SMG. Placed order on 11/23, and they modified options of their pre-ordered car with mine on the same day. A few days later, probably 11/27, it went into production mode in the system and spec was locked. 11/27, you placed your order, might be a last day for the dealership to modify the options for their pre-ordered car...... How lucky you are!!
