Good information.
I think it's good that we all communicate, it will help us all. The issue I have is also that I traded in my Z4 due to the fact that I was promised production in March/April by BMW Sales office. Will take this further on Monday. |

I know the feeling, I sold my old car in August when the rumors still said November production.

I sold my car in sept, through blocket, after my trade-in failed because of the M235I delivery thing I mentioned earlier. And I got less on blocket than I was going to get through the trade-in because it was 6 months older and late summer... |

Joined as it seems more accurate information is spread here than in any swedish forum. Ok, that is interesting. My sales guy at Bavaria Solna tried to convince me that it would be a greater chance to get a car through them than any smaller dealer. I would thinl that if I would be 9th or 10th in line at a big dealer, like Bavaria, for an M2 my chances would be better at a smaller dealer but I am not sure that is how the allocations works in this case. My dealer says nothing about how the allocation process works. Not sure if he does not know or just wants to keep this infomation to himself to align my expectations... :/ |

Let us assume Sweden get ~90 cars. Maybe not all dealers will order demos so we assume 20 of these are dealer demo-cars, then we have 70 cars left. Then 1 allocation per dealer and that leaves us with about 35 cars left. So even if a few dealers are prioritized they can't get more than 4-5 cars per year anyway if this is the case. It is a bigger chance that a small dealer hasn't sold its allocation I would guess than Bavaria gets 10 cars this year. Like the M2 on Blocket in Umeå, if that has an allocation but isn't sold I would rather just take the train there and get that car than to wait it out in Stockholm. |

If it is indeed allocation based then I understand bigger dealers are prioritized but i kind of think, given the rumour 2016, SE gets ~100 cars that one dealer like Bavaria would to get almost 10 cars the first year does not seem likely. Do we know if it matters if the dealer is "M certified" or not? Yeah, I don´t mind going out of town for my car as I have ordered mine in Eskilstuna but I suppose the issue is I have already signed with that dealer and negotiated the price. Not sure I can pull out without a contract breach. Also I would have to get the same deal with another dealer which is possibly unlikely after the demand now is huge and delivery times seems rediculous.

As you said though, no dealer is going to tell you that they won't get more cars this year so go somewhere else. They will all tell you to stay put and that it will work out. Do you have a delivery date in your contract? If they can't keep that it will be no problem to get out of the contract. In the contracts from Bilia it says that the customer can get out of it without issues if the delay is "av väsentligt betydelse för konsumenten". |

Ok, so M-approved dealer at least has an advantage one can speculate Honestly I have not examined all the fine print in my contract but I have email-conversation from my dealer saying expected delivery is April/May but no guarantees on exact date. However, if the delivery is pushed to late 2016 it is a significant change of situation and should open up the possiblity to pull out either way. Of course the dealer want´s to secure the sale at any cost but let´s see what happens in the next couple of weeks. Thing is, I would be fine with a little later delivery(idealy not later than June/july) but it is the fact that I cannot plan anything like vacations and road trips without an estimated delivery date. Also I am trying to get a spot in a parking garage but I do not want to pay for a parking spot I wont´t need for 6 months... |

According to my salesman, bilia sthlm will get 25 customer allocations in 2016...I think he estimated the number based on some info/experience...but its not 100% sure...
edit: there are five BMW bilia in sthlm, the one in södertälje excluded... |

Why can't they just stick to what they KNOW and not guesstimate and just cause more confusion? I'm not saying he is wrong, but they often tell you what they think you want to hear when in reality we just want the cold hard facts. But going by sales I don't think he is wrong. They sell a lot of cars at those dealers... But that is still just 4-5 cars per dealer, so one every other month. But at least you should be good! |

What I have been told from sales office is that the orders are sorted by order date. Check your order no from sales office, lower number = better position.
However if the bigger dealers has agreements with BMW is something they have not told. However, it's a fact that many dealers did make fake customer orders to get early production slots. This blocks the "real" customer orders. This is something I think BMW should review. |
