Seems like your dealer is honest. Mine just keep saying "I'll let you know as soon as I find out". I'm willing to bet my dealer is out of allocations too, because from what I've heard (which aligns with your story) allocations are assigned first week of each month.

You can't see anything in BMW garage until you get a "production number".

I think they get allocations at least for a month into the future, perhaps more. I ordered mine exactly a year ago today and received a production number two days later and it was built the second week of January.

My CA did say "February" is his estimate... which would make sense if the allocation comes in January.

I’ve said it before. What an awesome problem for a car company to have. They can’t build their cars fast enough. And a car approaching and going beyond 6 figures!

As of this morning, no new allocations received at my dealer for 40i but said next week they expect them.

The factory is closed for the holidays. They reopen next week, which is probably why your dealer told you that. Comments from factory employee: https://g05.bimmerpost.com/forums/sh....php?t=1680524
