I have spoken to several dealers and have heard many different versions about what is going on and what they will be getting, with several just saying thay don't have a clue. This points to BMW doing a poor job of communicating even to its own dealers about how things would work. Agree this should be a much more transparent process and should be clearly explained to people.

The level of dissatisfaction seems to be growing amongst people in this forum (with the obvious exception of those lucky enough to get an allocation already (though how many of those are true allocations and not the dealers trying to keep people quiet...)

Agree with Aryton91 - I think most of the dealers are in the dark regarding the allocation process. The lack of clarity on this issue, if not ameliorated soon, will create a lot of unnecessary resentment. After speaking with my CA it sounds like they can do little besides wait for notification from BMW NA that the dealership has received a production slot. When that happens could be a matter of days, weeks or months.

In other words, be prepared to wait without any idea when your production slot might become available. This really throws a wrench into people planning ED or PCD delivery since it's difficult to schedule a major trip with such little notice.

Yup - it'll change monthly. And it's likely that things will get slightly better and not worse.
