My CA just got back from a BMW shindig for top salesmen down in California. Regional managers and "their bosses" were present as well. They drove the M2, M235i and M3/4s in autocross, drags and short course. My guy said all the higher-ups present were extremely tight-lipped about the when and how many of allocations. They either did not know, or did not tell. Either way, he was disappointed, as he had hoped that the trip would have given him some active intelligence. He said he now gets "about 5 calls per day from all over the country" from people looking for an M2. Even allowing for typical dealer hyperbole, that's impressive.
He could not even confirm or deny the June 10 allocation stuff we've been hearing, because nobody there who should have been in a position to know would do that.
So...basically an air samich, as usual. Maybe June 10 will shed some more light.
