California Orders

mchaskell · 01-10-2008, 07:35 PM

Anyone in Ca have a production # yet? My dealer is telling me they don't have allocation numbers beyond the one demo they ordered.

I ordered from Long beach. My was the only allocation after the dealer's 2 demos. He said the allocation will probably come a month later.

Does CARB have something to do with that?

Dealer response: "All of the allocations have been used for this vehicle. The pre-orders statewide has been overwhelming. 2/1/2008 is the earliest we can order it."

Looks like no car in March for some of us.

Yes...$1500. Though they haven't cashed the check.

You Cali folks shouldn't give up hope. Things seem to be happening faster than originally expected. Appears that BMW is rushing to build as many 1 series as possible for the US March 22nd rollout.

My dealer called Thursday. I was #1 on their list, since August, yet he said they sold 2 cars to walk-ins before he called me. Go figure.

Anyway, he said their first allocation was 7 135i's, and they had some left over after waiting list and 2 walk-ins. Clearly not overwhelming demand, yet.

He says they (Concord, CA) are one of the top 10 volume dealers in the country so maybe other dealers were allocated less than 7.
