"Wait till May.."
For what it's worth: Yesterday, I called my SA to finalize the specs of my YMB M3 so he can put into que when customer ordering begins. He said there is no rush as he told me we will have to wait until May when US ordering will likely start for M3/M4. He stated US market is pickier so BMW will let Europeans workout kinks etc. He stated this is what occurred for F10. He thinks cars will be ready late summer/early fall.
Someone once jokingly told me lawyers are like jukeboxes: put a quarter in it and they will tell you what you want to hear. SAs seem to be the same way as I have seen 15 different predictions on these forums for when US configurator is coming online and when US customer allocations will be officially announced (not dealer allocations). I just want to know the truth of the matter. This just blows. |

Dude, if you wait till May you won't get a car for a long time. Dealers already got allocations and took orders to fill them. The dealers by me are sold out and not even keeping a list.

Dealers have their allocations for the model run already. My dealer is getting 4 M4's and 3 M3's. (for the model year run) I saw this this for myself on the allocation print out. Dealers allocation for these cars were also based on last year M sales and my dealer is a specific M Store. They even sold the launch cars. In thier view, why keep the launch cars and pay floor plan on them when you can't get the car.

If you are waiting for your dealer to get allocation you have missed the boat. What the dealers have to wait for now is when the production slots will be for their sold allocations.

I am in the Northeast. I wont say where since I am trying to find a dealer left with an allocation. Easier to find M3 allocation than M4.

I have not missed any boat.. Apparently you know more then anyone else on here? I doubt that buddy.. They may know their total for the year but that's about it.. No one else on here has allocation info.. So how are you the only enlightened one?

May slots would be for the end of July into August delivery. Each dealer will not get all built at the same time. People will be waiting until the fall/winter.

That is correct. They know their total allocation for the model year. They do not know when they will be built so if you are frst on the list you will get the first build slot. So if you you were the last person they took an order for out of the allocation for the year you can be waiting a long time. Like I said before, my dealer is not even keeping a list any more. All were sold within days of getting the counts. I was to late and this was only a matter of days.

I helped my guys spec out their M3 launch car. They were like who wants the ceramics? I was like the first ones that can buy it will want it all. Guess what, it's sold so I won't even get to test drive the thing

Good luck with that dealer- my car is scheduled for production in May so I'll be happy to ' work out the kinks ' driving the new M3 while youre still trying to order a car from this buffoon.

hmm sounds like more speculation. i think like every other dealership in the country they are waiting for production slot to pop up.
