Just put a deposit (SF Bay Area)
I put a deposit today for the M2 at Easy Bay BMW.
They told me there are more than 10 people on the list and it could take about a year to two years. I have 14 months left on my M235i lease. I hope somebody drops out but if not, no biggie. They said they are getting on average 10 allocations a year but that could change. Also no discount on ED. I also want to mention that I called another dealership (Steven's Creek BMW in Santa Clara) and they told me somewhat rudely that there is a list but I shouldn't even put my name because I'm never going to get the car. Aside from the tone, I hate being told what I cannot do. It's not my first bad experience with this dealer, and I see now that I never do business with them for a good reason. As usual East Bay BMW were great. |

East Bay Bmw told me the same thing about 4 months ago. I made some quick phone calls and bought my car out of state. Good thing is that you have 14 (long) months.

Dealers in So Cal have lot more inventory. I walked in and just picked up one wth very reasonable mark up only $1k.

Was told I am #20 on the list ( 19 deposits ahead of me.) I specifically asked for European Delivery and was told they would NOT do that at East Bay BMW presently because it would cost them an allocation and over $3500 of profit. At about 2 cars a month, it would in theory take me well into 2018 model year. |

Also someone posted lately Beverly Hills BMW does the most sales in the country and so they get the most allocations and they were able to get an upcoming allocation immediately and put their order in right away at sticker. I would check with them. As always whatever dealer you call you might want to look up their head of fleet/internet sales and call them directly as I think they have the authority to make a deal themselves. |
