BMW M4 GT3 Wheel - availability date 14.02.2024

Hi,

did any of you preordered the M4 GT3 Wheel with the availability date 14.02.2024?

I placed my order at 18.01.2024 just a few hours after the stock changed from "available" to "preorder 14.02.2024", so i assume my order is one of the first preorders for that date.

So far there has been no movement with my order and i wanted to know if anybody had the same preorder date and got their wheel shipped.

Of course i am aware of the recent situation regarding Fanatecs delivery problems, but i'm not trusting the red text regarding the dealy in the EU warehouse on the FAQ too much, since there is no date of posting added and it looks more like a "quick guys, we have to put a info somewhere"-kind-of-text :D


Thanks in advance!

    Hi, same here 🙃

    Thank you Marc, then we have to be patient! Let me know if something happens :)

    Hey guys,


    same thing here. My theorie is that the charge of M4 GT3 Wheels got delayed until March 5th, which is the date currently sitting on the store page.


    On the other hand it could be a shipping delay of 7-8 days. That would mean it‘ll be shipped by Friday. Let‘s see

    But wouldn't they just change the releasedate in the orders to March 5th? I've read that they did that with other delayed orders. I also assumed they do have a monthly stock. That would correspond with the monthly availability dates 11.01, 14.02, 05.03 and so on.

    In the end i want to gaslight myself into believing it will be shipped soon, i'll have to admit that :D

  • Florian BaustFlorian Baust Member

    Well, i don’t know about that. I placed my order on 17.01.24. At that time, the store page said „avaiable, shipping in 4 to 7 days“, yet i never got one.

    But i also hope we get them this week. Fingers crossed.

    UPDATE:

    received a SMS about delivery tomorrow. Wheels are shipping this week!

    Hmm i got nothing - 14.1 I place my order - 14.2 the available date 🙃🙃🙃

  • Janis HermesJanis Hermes Member

    Oh wow, then you are truly waiting much longer! Congrats Florian 🥳

    Hope we‘ll also get the message this week

  • Janis HermesJanis Hermes Member

    Got the email, they are sending it out😍

  • Marc MatheusserMarc Matheusser Member

    Wohoo here too 😂

    Quick question guys…


    Came your Wheel with the QR2 preinstalled and with the QR2 update cable? Or do you have QR1 preinstalled with QR1 update cable and the QR2 came in an extra package?

  • Janis HermesJanis Hermes Member

    For now i just have recieved the "handed over to warehouse" email and am waiting for the UPS notification.

    Did your wheel arrive?

  • Florian BaustFlorian Baust Member

    Yeah, arrived today.

    But i can’t check until Friday. I‘m away on a Job currently.

  • Janis HermesJanis Hermes Member

    nice! From everthingy i‘ve read it now should come with QR2 and the new update cable.


    Just out of curiosity: When did you recieve the „handed over to warehouse“ mail?😁

  • Florian BaustFlorian Baust Member

    I received 3 Mails regarding this order in total. Order confirmation and invoice were send in january. Today I received a „Your order has been shipped“-Mail, which is was not new information at that point. In fact the Mail came just like 10 Minutes before the package arrived. I never got a „handed over to warehouse“-Mail.


    In my case the shipping took only 1 day.

  • Florian BaustFlorian Baust Member

    I just messaged my neighbor. Turns out i received two packages in a bigger packet. He opened the smaller one and it contains a QR2 Pro. So it does come with QR1 preinstalled and probably the QR1 update cable.

    He hasn‘t opened the bigger box, so I don’t know for sure. That‘ll be my fun on Friday. :)

    Yesterday the email came notifying me that the order was being prepared. Funny that people who ordered after me got their order before me 😩

  • Janis HermesJanis Hermes Member

    @Marc: Same here though. Since then nothing happened. My guess would be a shipment early next week. But they did you dirty for sure🙈


    @Marc: Thank you and enjoy the wheel! For me it was always the case that the wheels only came with the premounted QR when included in real bundles (F1 eSports or GT DD Pro Bundle). All the single wheels i ordedered came with the QRs seperatly

  • Florian BaustFlorian Baust Member

    Another Update guys:


    The Wheel came with QR2 Pre-installed and with the QR2 update cable! The build quality is insane! I love it. ♥️

  • Marc MatheusserMarc Matheusser Member

    Nice ✌🏿


    update : nothing happens 🙃🥲

  • Janis HermesJanis Hermes Member

    same here 😁 but my expectations are very minimal since my last order of the QR2 was never announced by UPS and in the end they shoved it through the cats door😂

  • Janis HermesJanis Hermes Member

    Its out for delivery!

  • Janis HermesJanis Hermes Member

    Got only one package and everything QR2-related is included :)

  • Florian BaustFlorian Baust Member

    Congrats! Have fun Janis. :)
