you should start by keeping a constant eye on the new allocations thread...

it looks like allocations for US have been coming out the second week of the month.. I would anticipate sometime after labor day.

Be careful... I was first in line at my dealer as well. They said they would be getting a 3rd allocation so I sat patiently for 3 months. August roles around they call me to tell me that they would NOT be getting that allocation anymore...

Ended up finding one elsewhere, but its hard pickings (dealers want 10k over MSRP) and allocations are VERY scarce or there are 10 people already waiting at that dealership. I would start looking at other places too to make sure!

It's not about them being reputable or not. I have a friend at a very reputable dealership and BMW told them they would have 3 allocations, they sold 3 and than the last one was canceled by BMW. All the could do was say sorry and refund the deposit. But the buyer still loses the car.

I wouldn't depend on just one dealership unless its 111 status or above. I didn't start stop taking spots until i got a car with 111 status or above.

this doesn't make sense. If you were first in line, why would you be concerned with a third allocation? Sounds like you were THIRD in line, and the dealer was hoping they would get a third allocation and they over promised what they couldn't deliver. glad you were able to find an actual allocation however!

Ya I meant that I am currently first in line since the other two allocations got filled. The dealer said in a week In a week or two they will know for sure whether the allocation is confirmed. They keep telling me they are getting 3 cars so I would be getting the last one.

But you guys are right I'll start calling around on Monday forca backup plan. Thanks for all the input.
