Non refundable deposit and no allocation
Dealer said I'll definitely have the car by August 2022.
I'm going to the dealer after work today. What should I know when I leave to insure I will get the car around August 2022? Or should I keep looking? They've committed to msrp and my prior F80 was serviced there. |

The dealership doesn't control how many allocations they get nor do they control how fast your car will get produced. If they tell you otherwise they are lying. |

Crap; that's what I thought. So they pretty much lock me down with the "refundable" / "Non Refundable" $1,000 deposit. They have 7 people on a wait list ahead of me too. Anyway I'll talk with them after work as I randomly try my luck calling BMW dealers near or along east coast. 12 hours in any direction from Connecticut is fine for me to go pick up a car. |

Its nearly impossible to take delivery by Aug if there is 7 people ahead of you.
If i were you, i would call around and add your name in several other dealer waitlist who has a shorter one. Good luck with your search. |

What dealership did you go through? I went through BMW Warwick in RI. I have been 3rd in line for a M4x Comp since the beginning of October.
With all the possible option exclusions going on I stopped giving a shit and if an allocation pops up I'll take it but if it doesn't. I don't care anymore.

I've been calling random in tri-state area as well as Oklahoma and Florida. I found a dealer with an allocation in New Jersey for an M4 and they had a $5k mark up. Im going with 6MT M3 |

You can get your deposit back.
Since you're in Bridgeport area look into PCD and look for allocations nationwide. You're ~13 hours from Greer and the weather will be moving towards spring by the time you get your car |

But it brings in the flexibility of ordering it from any dealer in the country. This way you will have a wider search of dealers for available allocations. |

You won't get the car by August but you will likely get an allocation by August if you have 7 ahead of you. |

M3 are much harder to get than M4. Im in Philadelphia SE area and left a deposit a week before Xmas on an M4. I was 4th in line and they predicted late Jan for production slot and car around June. They said an M3 would probably be August at the earliest.
Popped in the dealer NYE to look at colors, told I was now #2, fingers crossed |

I would third/fourth PCD. You can buy from anywhere that has an allocation so you can shop for a better price (maybe) and an earlier delivery date.
Maybe try a broker as well. They might know where you can get one through their contacts...but it'll cost you a fee ~$500 +/- |

I would definitely keep it moving. There are sometimes certain members on here, that have leads on allocations, at MSRP, that are willing to work with people out of state.
