Quick google search. Looks like EPA listing it as certified.

Well then. Looks like all that's left is for BMW to change their date of April 16th, no?

Seems unlikely with the fact that they put it in print in several places?
We're hoping!!

Just talked to my dealer today and they said BMW will be holding my car at the port in a timely fashion that would allow it to be at the dealer no earlier than April 16th.

Got a call from my CA today. He is now saying April 15th.

[OrangeCrush]

Got an e-mail yesterday from dealer, it said....


"Just wanted to let you know, we heard from BMW and the Launch date is set for April 16, and they will be out of the port, early April."

First time poster, #6 in line at a Bay Area dealer (LBB MT). My CA told me today they're expecting to get their initial allocation info first week of April.

Question - Will allocations will stay consistent month to month? I.e. if the dealer gets 1 build slot in April, reasonable to think they'll have one per month (at least) going forward?

No. At best right now they can expect maybe (emphasizes on maybe) 7-8 cars for the year assuming they're a volume seller with an M showroom.

[zenmaster]

There is no maybe? Their regional rep should have already disclosed their exact total allotment for the year. Some have as many as 18 cars.

Yep, by now they should know.

Keep in mind my above post is a generalization, as dealers getting 18 allocations are (very) few and far between for now.

Fingers crossed BMW gets this slow process sped up so I can have some buddies for the track

[zenmaster]

FWIW, my dealer typically sells around 2 or 3 M cars a month and got 5 M2's.

[dlc1414]

Thanks for the feedback, mine said they typically get about 4 M3 slots per month, here's hoping they get a decent allocation of M2s for 2016. Curious that they wouldn't tell me about an allocation for the whole year, just stuck to the party line that they get their slots on a monthly basis...

Given the overall lack of news/feedback from BMW, I don't blame them for not wanting to commit to hard numbers at this point.

[F87LUV]

As I've mentioned previously, mine has five guaranteed allocations but sounded pretty sure that once the car was released, they could easily get more per month. Who knows.

Sounds like your SA is better than mine, he still thinks it is in EPA hold and has no clue about launch date. BMW Genius phone number doesn't either.

Few of my friends are driving 8 hours to Watkins Glen on April 17th...just absolutely brutal, if I could take delivery even on the 15th that would be doable for me. But on the 16th it probably wouldn't work.

BMW can release the car whenever they want to, but not telling customers when the car will be available is absolutely unacceptable. I realize they have posted it in some marketing literature, but for actual dealers and their own BMW Genius hotline to have zero idea and be unable to confirm April 16th is really pathetic.
