Hey guys...just placed my deposit for a 2011 1 M, Black with Convenience and Premium Package. Build date is 4/14...should have it about 4 to 5 weeks after. Currently have an Evo IX MR but can't wait to get rid of it.

By the way, where are you located and how were you able to sign up today and get an allocation so quickly? Just curious as many of us have been on the waiting list for some time. |

I have already had it pre-ordered for over a week now, just found this forum today. I am in VA but the dealer I found with a slot was in MD. Called around 30 places before I was successful. Now that I'm on here I've seen a few threads featuring better pics of the other colors and I am tempted to change to AW or VO.

If I were you I'd get the VO cuz defiantly the black and the white will not stand out as an M. White and black 1 series are everywhere u need to look twice to notice its a 1M but the orange is eye catching and the stitching with the exterior is just perfect. To each his own but that's what I think. Good luck and hope u make the right decision

I'm not far from l888apex being in Delaware. I put $1k down on a VO 2 weeks ago and my CA still says he has no idea when the allocation will come in. Does anyone have any idea how BMW hands out allocations? At first it seemed like Texas and So Cal was going to get the first cars, but now it looks like someone is throwing darts at a US map. Frustrating but I am in it for the long haul.

Congrats l888apex!
When you spec'ed your car, was the navigation available outside the Convenience Package as an individual option? I would like to get the Nav and iDrive but I don't care for the other packaged items. Just wondering. |

No sir...it's either premium only, or premium+convenience. The standalone options were only heated seats and a few other little ones. Nav only comes in the package, but it's usually $2100 alone so $600 more for the parking sensors, alarm, and smart key isn't too bad. I wish you could choose them individually but you can't.

It all has to do with dealer allocations as evidenced by this thread. there are people all over the country who had deposits down way before you but their dealers don't have allocations.

There are very rich people in Miami that will pay for the car in cash before ordering who can't get an allocation.There is no correlation between amount of deposit and allocation. You obviously did your due diligence and got LUCKY!

Yea that's pretty much what I said. I wasn't inferring that my deposit amount is what got the allocation, I know how that works. Just saying I'm glad the order is progressing quickly. Why would "very rich people in Miami" want a 1M? If someone has $50k in cash to drop on a never released car, sight unseen, then I don't see how they are in the market for this particular vehicle...go to "The Collection" and have some real fun.
