I think the metric has something to do with how quickly the dealers can get priority 1 cars off the lot once they land. I know BMW takes inventory snapshots with little notice, to determine this. And then dealers who move pre-sold units the quickest, tend to get rewarded with additional allocations. I also think keeping M inventory days-on-lot low, even for dealer inventory cars, also helps score future allocations. I don’t think BMW would hold it against dealers, that they haven’t delivered cars that are stuck in the production process.

There are likely other metrics as well.
Just contacted my CA this morning and he said I am next on the list!! Meaning they got 1 January allocation
