One guy i spoke to wanted a 5K deposit! Like WTF?!  .
I suppose not having a dedicated production line potentially makes this car more profitable for BMW as its a parts bin special. |
BMW are certainly going to have to plan in, increases in production, this may take a year to kick in. As I mentioned above, my dealer is getting an M2 demonstrator and 3 customer cars in 2016. I dont think BMW will go mad with the volumes, and it will be mass volumes compared to the 1M and it will take time to ramp up production.
Only 400 cars for the UK in 2016, I dont see many of them available come April. Demand in the 1st year will outstrip supply.
My dealer took a £1k deposit which I thought quite reasonable. £5k is taking the p1$$.
