Question regarding how allocations are supposed to work
Hey Everyone!
So the M2C will be my first BMW and the first time I've dealt with getting an allocation and going through the ordering process. I've been keeping up with the M2C allocation tracker thread and read some guides regarding how this process works. I have a deposit at my dealer for their 3rd allocation of 3 they have so far. I've asked if they have a build week or production number a couple of times and all they tell me is it'll be October/November. Is there any reason they don't have a production number and/or build week? Is my excitement/impatience getting the best of me? Thanks for the help! |

Ditto on what he said. Ask for an production number. If you don't have a production number, you don't have an allocation. They may well have an October allocation build but then they would give you that production number. Once you have the production number, call bmw genius and get your build week if they won't tell you. Also, if you have a production number ask for your Vehicle Inquiry Report (VIR) to confirm your build, production number, and that your name is on it.
Lastly, no way they have a November allocation as those allocations for Q4 haven't been released yet. That is suspicious to me.

Thanks for the info guys!
As of Thursday last week (when I gave my deposit for the allocation) they said the computer system wasn’t showing any way to spec the car to submit the order which I found odd too Last edited by Xensane; 07-11-2018 at 04:11 PM.. |

Yeah they are full of it. They probably have you at status 102 (if at all) which means you do not have an allocation. Sorry man, I'm not trying to burst your bubble or bring you down, but dealerships do this shit all the time. I would call around a lot of Midwest and Texas dealers to see if you can get an actual allocation.

The system is designed to extract maximum dollars from you, the trusting customer, and to grease the palms of enough parties along the way, up to and including the F&I guy with his magic coatings, and extended warranties going out as far as the eye can see.
Good luck.
