Whenever I have asked about my position on the waitlist it's taken a little time to get back to me, so I think they must have a few lists going and it may not be as straightforward as it may seem. So far they've seemed to be on the up and up.

This is the impression I got when I recently joined the wait list. CA was specific on my number and the list I was on (M3XC).

Ya previously the CA was always specific with me and gave me an actual number. This time around he hasn't... guess we will find out in a week or so. |

Update:
I sent a note out yesterday morning as I started to realize that allocations were being given out (based on other forum member posts), so I sent an email to my CA at Bill Jacobs asking if I got an allocation and what the update is. Here is the latest response as of today morning: "Yes, BMW gave us a lot of allocations. Our General Sales Manager is working through them. I will have more information over the next few days." Anyone get called up yet? |

CysVet You should have received an allocation because you were before me by a week or so; I think you will hear on Monday if you haven't heard back today. If you don't hear anything, then I feel like Bill Jacobs is either lying to me or they don't have their shit in order.
My CA told me (for real this time, or at least I hope), that I am next and I missed out on October by a person in front of me. Apparently and according to my CA, BMW didn't assign allocations to the cars in the order bank so it was being done manually by Bill Jacobs; I didn't make the cut. Now, I did have a broker reach out to me and they found a deal at MSRP in Arizona. I don't mind driving the car back to the Chicago area as I will break it in pretty quickly, but I did want to trade in my current 5 Series. If anyone is interested, I can connect you to the broker, it's a $900 brokerage fee. |

I had placed an order for my I4 M50 at Bill Jacobs and feel they have been very deceptive with their order bank. While I was 2 months into the wait, one person just walked in and got an allocation and didnt even have to pay over MSRP. Its all about who your CA is. I personally spoke to their sales manager and he was also non comital about how the allocations were handled but def there is something fishy going on. They do MSRP which is good and also do the costco pricing but somehow, if you knew someone on the inside or ur CA was aggressive, you will have a better chance at securing an allocation. When I enquired about placing a deposit for an M3 there, they said their wait list was in the 30's. So Dont know who is jumping the list and how many are being sold outside the list. Maybe better if you talked to their sales manager directly.

Allocation
I was number 12 or so for an M3 at Bill Jacobs in March. They emailed me last week for an allocation (I actually already had gotten an M3 from another dealer, so I didn't take the allocation). I was sort of surprised but it does seem there might be different lists based on what you want (mine was a base M3 (manual obviously).

@vmalho2 just heard from my salesperson. I'm still reportedly #4 on the list. He replied very quickly (which is unusual when I ask about the wait list) so maybe October allocations haven't been distributed yet? My guess would be poor communication internally rather than anything nefarious, but who knows. For what it's worth he said I'd likely be looking at a build in November/December.

If I don't get the allocation next month, I am pulling out of the list and going out of state. |

vmalho2 Just heard from my sales person. (Out of the blue.) He estimates that I'm three weeks out from a production number. Hopefully that means you'll get one soon too!

I haven’t heard anything concrete yet; I’m still getting vague responses and I keep updating my build, over $100K now… maybe I should stop checking the forums every day lol

So I couldn't resist, but I sent a note to the CA at Bill Jacobs again; he told me there isn't an update and it takes a week for all the allocations to come in. So still waiting.
Then I decided to follow up with Orland Park since I am on that list too. The CA there told me I am next in line now, there were 3 people in front of me and theirs orders got filled.... I will laugh if both dealers call me with an allocation |
