Ordering Not Yet Available For USA?
Called my dealer in Houston, Advantage BMW. I'm very close to top of their list. Was told they didn't receive allocations and ordering has not yet started yet (for us regular people not receiving HEA - if I am understanding that process correctly. I may be a bit confused). How are people already ordering in the US? My rep seemed legit and has no reason to be dishonest about anything. Reading that people are getting their car already built and this dealer hasn't even gotten to the first step!

4/5 of the dealers I am dealing with have said "regular folk" allocations have not been released yet. They are all saying beginning of Feb. The 1/5 is an out of state dealer that I think is lying since he already told me he has/had 2 customer allocations.
Try to be patient...I know it's hard when we are this close.

My order is placed and finalized. I got the options list about a week ago. My dealer is getting two cars. I was number one (put my name on the list a year ago) but dealer bumped me to number 2 to keep one number for themselves.
Car #1 is April delivery. My car (#2) has an approximate delivery of May.

Point of reference, my brother had a C4S coupe and ordered the soon to be released cabrio. There was like a 6-month gap between end of coupe lease and availability on cabrio, and they just gave him a Panamera to drive the entire time, no charge. Granted that's an extreme example but all of these things are doable. |

What exactly does a production number mean for a realistic timeline? The dealer said they managed to get me a car by trading their launch car for a modifiable allocation (or something like that). I got a production number and dealer sales documents. It shows up in mybmw as ordered.
It's supposed to be produced week 15. I think that's about middle of April. Can I expect this car here by the end of May, or could this drag on for the entire summer? |

Cannot be true. Unless that is what they anticipate over the next 12mo.

Some dealerships say they receive notice of their M2 allocations for the entire year. This is not an anticipated number, but an exact figure. Other dealerships which do not have this arrangement are completely incredulous that it's possible. BMW may be experimenting with different allocation models.

I'm not a car salesman, but it made sense to me. Hopefully BMW would do some research before sending a bunch of M2 slots to areas where they wouldn't be spoken for immediately.
