I'm in NC and used this method to find a Week 31 build from a dealer in Alabama. I'm pretty sure I emailed 30 or 40 dealers total.

Just don't give up! You may also have some more luck in person if you're able to go. The dealers are all catching on that people are putting down deposits at several places then retracting all deposits once they get an allocation from one, and from what I understood over the phone, they don't like that. |

I'm surprised at my timeline after reading about the back orders on here. But I'm assuming I got very lucky.
7/5/2016: Requested quotes from 6 local dealers via BMW's website 7/6/2016: All but one had wait list and estimated car to be delivered early 2017. One had an open allocation (which I couldn't even believe). 7/7/72016: Placed my order and received production number. 7/28/2016: Entered production. |

Helped me get an allocation when dealers outside the state were telling me they are booked until 2017 and some couldn't even guarantee me one in 2017. NJ dealer that my family has been doing business with for years, got me on their list in April and I got my allocation in June.

04NOV2016: Call dealer, figure money talks and drive over to place a deposit. "3rd on the list". Should have been first.
03FEB2016: Place configuration in order bank, 047 14APR2016: Follow up with dealer about their allocation status/spot in line. CA is crickets but I figure I'm stuck without calling every dealer in the country and I wasn't about to do that again after trying to find a GT350 for MSRP. 25APR2016: Contact sales manager and express my displeasure at lack of communication from CA and he gives me a call telling me I'm 3rd and the HEA + one additional allocation was sold 10MAY2016: Text sales manager for check in on allocations. No additional allocations 10JUN2016: Text sales manager for check in on allocations. No additional allocations 15JUN2016: Allocations come out for 3 months, dealer gets 2 more allocations for 2017, one of which is mine with August build. 25JUL2016: Production Start 08AUG2016: Production End (delayed) 18AUG2016: Car on Columbia Highway Vessel, and departed port (ETA to GA: 01SEP2016) 01SEP2016: Car at Brunswick Port, just in time for Hermine to roll through tomorrow. 10/10. 06OCT2016: Confirmed Performance Center Delivery Last edited by blackholescion; 09-27-2016 at 12:32 PM..

4/16/2016 - After much contemplating and calling around at dealers I went in and placed a deposit in order to be #3 on the allocation list at a local dealership.
6/20/2016 - My CA reached out to me to inform me that I have officially received a build date of week 31. 7/15/2016 - Production on my car begins. 8/3/2016 - Production on my car is completed. 8/4/2016 - Car is on the way to the ports, and is still awaiting assignment for a shipping vessel. I am hoping that I can take delivery in August, especially since I live in the Northeast and the boat ride should be shorter than most other destinations in USA.
