Yeah the "big allocation any day now" seems like the carrot on a stick to keep us from calling other places, but not like other dealers are having much luck.

Yeah, that’s why I don’t think its that. I really do sense they(the dealer) think a big allocation is coming but if BMW is not saying that it does not matter.
I’m going to go back into turtle amnesia mode…completely forget that I’ve placed myself on a waitlist lol.

Just wanted to follow up on my experience; just went into status 111 with my order placed 8/7. Sounds like my dealer got two allocations. Don’t think they had any for last 2 releases.

I was able to lock in today as well, supposed to be a week 45 build. Hopefully I won't have to wait too long. Maybe Christmas or just after New Year if all goes well.

Strange you had to wait that long. I got 2 allocations, one in early Aug and another early Sep (gave up first one as they wanted over MSRP). But dealers around here had allocations. Prod # given at time of deposit.

Mines showing as week 46..but super early.

Yeah, I agree it was a long wait to get a confirmation. A few people ahead of me when I ordered and my dealer must not get as many allocations as others. I didn’t call around.

Just went into 111. I was on the wait list at several and allocation went to the least likely IMO. Showing week 46.

Glad I listened to everyone on here and got on multiple lists (w/o paying deposit to be on waitlist)

Not to rain on your guys' parade, but if you are just now getting allocated I don't think week 45/46 is realistic. I was allocated in the very beginning of September and I am week 44. Someone else who was allocated a day before me is now week 45.

I am assuming this engine stop sale is going to affect allocations

Do you mean that it’ll be pushed back because of the delays? Or the SA is misrepresenting the production date?

I’m frankly just happy to have secured an allocation locally.

I'm just worried about no allocations being released

I have heard this before, the reps tell the dealer the big allocation any day, this is happening with numerous manufacturers. Bottom line is supply interruptions are a moving targets. Costs manufacturers massive money to run the plants every hour, maybe the reps are just trying to appease everyone with the big carrot...seems disingenuous. Sales staff are likely repeating this to customers trying to keep the order bank as full as possible when there are no cars on the ground to speak of for sale. They are all worried about paying bills no doubt.

I would think that the allocation process will be hit and miss fair or not for the foreseeable future. It's an allocation lottery for those who want to order a car by finding a dealer that may have an allocation. Good luck.

I received a production number today. My rep said she checked yesterday and only 5 allocations were listed. A few more today which we received one. This is a circus it’s been 2 months since I placed a deposit yet I feel lucky to finally have an allocation.

I do think the SAs are misrepresenting the production week. I could be totally wrong, of course, but it doesn't make sense to me that someone getting an allocation 5 weeks after a week 44 allocation could be week 45 or 46.

SA actually sent me a picture of the order confirmation with the status and production date. Editing a picture just to later piss me off seems like a bit much but I guess you never know.

I plan on calling the BMW genius to confirm.

Just received this from another dealer: The allocations did come in around midnight. Unfortunately, your M3 was not in that allocation. What I was told by BMW, only 65 were allocated in the US. We were also told the December allocations would run by end of month.

I ended up finding an allocation from another dealer. Guy ended up canceling his order and the SA saved his allocation for me. I wasnt even on the waiting list. I call the day before and the SA called me back asking if I was interested in it. I was like hell yeah. Went today and got my production number.

Mind posting the photo? It was probably the requested week, not the assigned one. We are in Week 40 right now.

How much are you guys paying over MSRP? Are you working directly with dealers or brokers?
