I've heard that neither of the BMW dealerships in Dallas or Plano (northern suburb) has had a single 335i GT come through that was not pre-ordered. Even 328i GTs are tough to come by. When I was finalizing my desired configuration, the two area dealerships had exactly 1 M Sport GT between them that I could look at.
I don't know if BMW has some sort of allocation system for the various models, or if the dealerships can order whatever they want, but it sure seems like someone somewhere is being very cautious about letting too many GTs out too fast. Perhaps they see keeping the 3 GT as a "niche" vehicle as a way to hedge against a reaction like the 5 GT received -- "We don't care if most people don't like it; it's not for most people."
I have to admit that I find the idea of driving a fairly unique 3-series to be kind of cool. (There are a
lot of 3-series sedans out there.)
