Man, I didn’t realize how tough allocations can be. When we ordered the first X5M, we got it in 19 days, but that was January 2021 and it was a tiny small town Texas dealership that was prob relieved they were able to sell their alocation.

Fast forward to early 2023 and trying to replace it with the same build after a hit and run, nope. We got lucky and the dealer found one already built and did a trade for it.

Yeah, it does seem a bit surprising, especially since the X models are manufactured in the US. For comparison, when I ordered my 2019 Audi RS 5 Sportback around September/October of 2018, I took delivery in January 2019, but that was shipped from Germany.

Had I not chosen an Individual Color, I would have taken delivery in December for my September order and October allocation. Now, I'm anticipating it might be closer to February. Not too worried about the delay, as it gives me more time to increase my down payment. Plus, there's the hope that interest rates might drop by then. I also have an order for a 2024 GLE 450 for my wife that has a production date of 1/23.
