Is this typical?
I placed my initial deposit of $1000 in November. My dealer told me that I would get the "first or second", depending if the owner of the dealership kept the first. So basically I'm #1 on the list. They called me on Jan 20 and said that we could now place the order in the BMW system. I did, and they charged me an extra $2000. Today, after wondering why my status has been "order documented" (still to this day) I called BMW and they confirmed that my car isn't even scheduled until 3/9 to start production.
Am I missing something? Based on the OP's timeline I wont see this car until second week of May or so (I'm on the East Coast). And this is supposed to be their first car. I'm glad I don't have to wait as long as some of the people here are, but I would have thought that I'd be driving it before then. Were all the first allocation cars supposed to hit about the same time, or does the location/size of the dealer make a difference?
