Allocation/Euro Delivery question
I recently put a $500 refundable deposit for the #1 allocation at a dealership in the area. The problem is I would be doing Euro Delivery in Sept/Oct of 2016 (getting married in Vienna), and wouldn't be able to order the car until 6 months prior (around March). How do I ensure that I am able to order a car around March? The dealer basically told me even though I am #1, they will have to move me out because I wouldn't be ordering right away.
Just afraid I will lose an allocation as I have to wait....Any suggestions? |

Just make sure your dealer helps you out in such a way you have it on time, that is the only option.

You're EU delivery timeline will be different than the initial allocations.
I'm in the similar boat. Confirmed #1 on the list, but interested in Euro Delivery. For what it's worth, my dealer suspects that initial orders may come available next month for US which could render a Winter delivery. (This contradicts what we've heard thus far about US builds) If I wanted to to Euro Delivery Program, that would change things and I would give up the initial allocation and order once allocations become available for that program. |

Yep. I have the exact same questions. We won't know the answers until we get expected production numbers. Would hate to give up my spot for the EU experience to then be left without an allocation at all.

I didn't want to start a new thread, but I'd like to hear what you guys have to say.
I want to plan a European delivery trip for sometime between April - June 2017. I am hoping that is far enough out that I should be able to follow the normal ED procedures without worrying about whether a dealer has an allocation. What do you guys think? (But is it still true that ED M cars come out of allocation?) |

In rare cases and towards the end of the cars cycle they don't. I purchased my 2011 e90 M3 and it did not come out of the dealer allocations at that time and I got an amazing deal. I basically paid few hundred over ED invoice. |

You'll get bumped until production will line up with your requested delivery date. I wouldn't be worried thought, its not like they'll get 3 allocations for the entire year. Should be plenty incoming after the initial ones.
