Estimated wait? The story of my impatience.

AndrejMi · 04-18-2023, 11:23 AM

I am #3 on a smaller dealer list that already sold their HEA car last week, hoping to get my car in fall what do you guys think? I speced the car alpine on cognac, 6MT, rombicile trim, lighting pack ,carbon roof ,bi color wheels and a wireless charger. I don't need more. I found a very close spec on true car for sale but it was the ZF8 which is a deal breaker. Hoping I find a abandoned order so I don't have to wait as long! I am itching like a crackhead without his next hit. I wish I ordered this car when I was offered a spot at #1 in line at a major dealer (Patrick BMW) last year. now they have 9 orders in! Anyways I thought I posted this earlier but I didn't. I just wish we could get a clear answer because the wait is killing me!

Stick with the small dealer at #3. Your options at this point are very limited.

I work at Patrick BMW, PM me if you have questions.

Late 2023 to early 2024 is my guess, unless for some reason G87 production miraculously increases which I feel is unlikely.

If anything I feel like it'll slow down.

The answer is clear...clear as mud.

I know the feeling. I am #2 at a smaller dealer that has gotten zero allocations so far (not counting the HEA.) I am getting major fomo and have been browsing listing for BG cars knowing full well they are either already sold or will be marked up.

Here is to hoping BMW shows the smaller stores some love in this months batch of allocations.

Yep that's what I thought. I really wanted to work with Patrick since I almost got a M4 from Joanne last year. Wish I hopped on the list earlier

Yeah the list filled up quite fast. I can tell you the first spot was gone since summer of '21 though.

Imagine having an HEA still sitting in port with no ETA or indication as to what's the hold up. It's torture.

I’m also #3 at a small dealer and was told an august delivery date. Very doubtful that will happen and I’ll even get my car in 2023.

Sethhboii · 04-18-2023, 01:49 PM

Stay with it. I’m first at my smallish dealer and still waiting for an Allocation! It’ll all pay off
