It's common for production to stop for a month or two before BMW starts production on a LCI variant. If your CA was expecting your production to start in May, it could be pushed to July. But look on the bright side, you'll then get a LCI MY18 instead of the last MY17 off the line.

So now my salesman is saying possibly May or June for my car. This is all so confusing. I have a production number and was originally told March build and late April delivery. Now who determines when that production number gets a build date? Do the dealerships have anything to do with that? He also claims the car is in such high demand and they are having issues getting parts to build it. He'll find out from BMW in February about a date. Bullshit?

As for the delay, it seems to me like one of two things happened: 1) your CA misinterpreted the date and your car was scheduled for production in April, then May/June delivery makes sense. 2) they sold more cars than they had allocations and are now moving people around. There is no hold or delays in M2 production. |

I have my production number now too and my dates were supposed to be the same as yours at the same dealer.
I'll keep you updated when my salesperson sends me updates. when did you put your deposit down? |

Couple months ago I think. He did say I was #2 and there was 9 people behind me. Again could be just talk.

Now he's saying probably June delivery. Still so confused how all this works. I know of people ordering later than others and getting their car first. Guess I have to hone my patience skills.

It's all about allocations. Until one exists with your name on it, the delivery date is "sometime in the future". I would guess your dealer didn't get any additional M2 allocations in Feb, hence the "delay".

Do you or anyone else know if I call in to BMW Genius with my Production number if they will be able to tell me the 'proposed' build/colour of my car? If so, then maybe Kid Eh and myself will have more evidence that those production numbers are really ours. |

I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but it seems to me like your dealer was selling allocations without knowing the delivery dates and promising everyone the same date. Heck, he may even have sold you guys the same allocation and then moved people around - this happens more often than you'd think. I wish good luck to you guys, but unfortunately only one of you two will actually get the car on the right timeframe. Have you considered going to the dealer together and hashing it out? |
