Then why is it that my CA tells me they don't know how many allotments they are getting. Is he telling me that because he truly doesn't know or is he lying to me. I am #3 in line at my dealer and he's been telling me i am in a good position since last year when put a deposit in. He's been pretty good keeping me updated. Just don't know if to trust what he is saying. THanks for the help guys.

Every dealer that's "supposedly" getting cars has been told the number of allocations for the year.

My dealer only got a launch car. That's it for the entire calendar year for them.

The more I read on about this, the more grateful I am that I swapped my allocation for a launch car. Personally, I think BMW never intended on producing 2016s aside from HEAs. These were just testers. I think 2017 will get a bump in price, sunroof option and maybe an additional color or something.

Try to get a launch car. People have been posting here and there as they encounter them. Good luck!

I'm curious where this info came from. I am #1 on list at a major M dealer in a wealthy area outside Philly and just talked to my CA. He searched in "the system" and found exactly 433 (443?) 2016 cars---which roughly translates into 1 HEA car per dealer plus a small handful of customer cars. However, he was clear with me that that was just the list of M2s with a MY2016 against them. In other words, that did NOT include any potential allocations of cars to be produced in July or later of this year as MY2017s. |

it could be BS, but I'm trying to have faith. common sense tells me that if I'm #1 and they are getting 5 fit the year and the HEAs are in/done with production that I will get a '16. I can't comprehend how you build only one car for the '16 MY (HEAs were built in Jan, Feb or Mar), but then not build any now cars for 4 months??? doesn't make sense

They can still give out allocations the rest of the year, starting the month of June. Which would be a July build week and a MY2017. At least, this is my current understanding.

Ok, thanks. I am just trying to figure this all out as well. Surely they are going to release more. It appears they only have like 300 or so 2016 models tho.... which could be a good and bad thing whether you own one.

In order to release more, they have to build more. In order to do that they have to increase production. IMO, production won't increase without retooling or decreasing production of other models.

From previous post - "This allocation represents the last of the MY16 production. Due to the extremely large order bank we will convert Model Year 2016 order bank requests into Model Year 2017 order bank requests." So, surely we will see new allocations soon? I am just trying to find out, because I will jump on an HEA now if I have too, even though I am first on a list, but no allocation.

We know for sure they are not making MY2017 M2s. Those will start production in July.
Again, new allocations are a possibility if BMW decides to increase production. This is extremely unlikely in the short term, but perhaps later this year. |
