So my CA reached out to me since I have an X1 on order since mid November and was 3rd in line when I checked last month. However I was informed today that there are no X1 allocations this month anywhere in the US.

Anybody else run into this or able to confirm?

My wife was planning a cross-country trip in April so this may put a big dent in those plans.

I think this depends on the BMW dealer. Some dealers have more clout with BMW and have more allocation.(based on their past sales numbers overall)

For example, two of the dealers in my area are the opposite of each other. One is huge and always has well over 100 cars/SUVs on the lot, with lots more on order. The other BMW is tiny by comparison. They rarely have more than 10 cars on the lot and the dealership itself is smaller than the Exxon gas station next door.

Obviously I went with the bigger dealer because they had more available allocations. Unfortunately, it also means I'm still 28 out of 42 customer waiting for the X1 to come in.

I understand the allocation per dealer and order timing as I just when through the process with a different make that has a similar problem. While I did order one out of state at MSRP I was still 113th in line. Fortunately, I was able to find one locally at the end of last month - also at MSRP.

My concern was that the CA clearly stated that there were no US allocations this month - which seemed really strange. It was bad enough when they (the dealership) didn't get any December X1 allocations. I have a call into him to get additional clarification but my wife's trip is now in jeopardy.

I ordered on 11/14/22 and it is in transition now. So basically whether there is an allocation or not totally depends on the dealer you do business with.

Isn't the easiest way to verify this to call a different dealer and ask them if they have any allocations currently available to place an order?

Most luxury car dealers offer more lower range cars the more top end you sell. Not all but many. So sell a few extra i7 or M8 etc. and you get a bigger allocation of lower end cars. Lexus certainly used to do this so it ends up dealer dependant on the allocation and also a reason they want top end cars moving.

unless you have very specific color/options requirement, perhaps Penske has one that they can sell you sooner? 27 of them now or in transit:

Spoke with my CA just now and the email he was reading from says ZERO X1 allocations nationally for January. No clue if this will extend into February.

I did speak with another dealer as well and they also said nothing available at the moment.

Based on the fact I'd like Active Driving Assist Pro and there are none in the country then it would have to wait on the build.

692 X1s are currently on order (status 111 or 112) in the US. So they are out there

My local dealer confirmed that there are no allocations currently as well.

All x1 in US now has 9QV assistance driving plus ready built in the car.

You can just buy plus from connected service once you get the car.

What if I ordered my car with the Plus assistance but now I want the Proffesional one. Is it possible to get it after the car is here and will the price be much more?

I’m afraid if I call my dealership it will move me in the queue.

it's probably not possible to buy Pro after it leaves factory...

Oh.. guess I will have to get used to live without it.

Have a feeling, maybe in preparation of releasing Id9 units???
