End of last week I agreed in a price for 45e build and the dealer said he had an allocation, today he texted me and said he had to wait until next month for the 2022 allocation to open up and that the price may change.
Is this accurate, does anyone know when the 22 allocations will be out?

They generally come out in the June/July timeframe. While waiting you may as well check and see what you can do with other dealers, it seems there are some allocations left yet according to what people have been posting.

I get there's a shortage of critical components; fine. Not BMW's fault. But what is BMW's fault is the willy-nilly handling of the situation. They know what parts they have, so count them up now, allocate, and let those of us with orders know, with certainty, what we can and cannot expect. It's not cool, and I'm really annoyed with the brand for this crap-management at the moment. I'd prefer to be given the bad news now so I can make a proper decision rather than wonder, each day, which options my car will/will not have. |

Any expectations of what we should expect for an MSRP increase? Lots of inflationary pressure and supply shortages, I wonder if we'll see an abnormally large price increase versus MY20 and MY21.

It obviously is going to piss off some folks no matter how they handle it but since these are unprecedented times they are probably struggling and frustrated as well. My advice to anyone ordering now would be to hang in there until the VIN is assigned, get a new VIR and then make the decision based on how the vehicle is equipped. Good luck

From what I have seen anytime my dealer has made changes for me and I made about 5 while it was in 112 status the website tracker immediately reflected my updated VIR, so you also could try looking at the website if you are in the US once your VIN is assigned...

For example: If I want a super spec'd vehicle, here's an expected wait time up front — if it'll roll into MY22, put down a deposit and come back when those option sheets are open. If I'm okay having some of those options dropped, here's how the price may fluctuate but you'll get the vehicle sooner. But information today is fairly asymmetrical and fairly consequential things like MSRPs, lease terms, taxes, etc. are based on what options are/aren't available and it is a bit of a that this forum is the best place for info (esp. for newbies like me). |

BMW needs to be upfront with the dealers and customers about what is really happening, because the expectations need to be managed. I've ordered 7 BMWs in my life, and the experience of each has been incredibly consistent: place order, watch the incredibly inaccurate online tracker , pace back and forth during the "Awaiting Carrier" stage, and pick up a car exactly as it was spec'd. What am I doing with a car in Order Received that already had an option yanked from it? I'm looking at dealers all over the country with inventory because that's a sure thing, while ordering a BMW at the moment is not. |

OP.. this is what a friend of mine says. Some dealers bumps out people who had heavy discounts in favor of people paying the full price.. I hope this was not the case for you.. they will tell you they have allocations. Get your order. Doesn't give you production number right away because if some guy willing to pay msrp comes along. They will give them the Allocation. It makes more money for them

I placed my '21 45e ordered on Tuesday. I still haven't heard from the dealer yet to get confirmation of build order. Now I know why it is taking so long.

Same story here. Placed order with the dealer in NY on May 3rd. Dealer was upfront that they did not have allocation. Was in status 47 till Wednesday (5/12) when the dealer got the allocation for build week 24. Two other dealers have called up in last 7 days saying they had allocation. So allocations for 2021 are still there. Only regret is the loss of HK.

I got arctic gray (man, I love that color, it just has that slight blue tint that really makes it shine) over black Vernasca leather and 20" wheels. I can hardly wait to be behind the wheel! |

Thanks. I have Dark Graphite with Tartufo. Loved arctic gray too. Now the excruciating wait and hoping they don’t take away more options. Will be following your progress closely as I am a week behind. Good luck!

I will definitely keep you filled in on what happens with my order: I sure hope no last minute surprises... The Genius I spoke to earlier this week told me that I should get a VIN next week: we'll see if that happens and if everything is confirmed when that happens... Weird times for certain. |
