1M ordering headache...
First thank you for putting in time here to help out customers even when they are not yours. Kudos!
On to my issue. I gave my dealer a deposit back in late march ($5k) for their singular allocation of a 1M. The order is in their 'Order Bank' but has not been 'accepted' by BMW. As a result, I can't get a production number, to see what is going on. The code number that's showing up is 047. That is one I haven't found here. Why would the order just sit in th 'Bank' and not be accepted? Is there something fishy going on? Would I be wrong to ask for interest on my money at this point? Do you have any other suggestions or comments? Last edited by AwaitingBlack1M; 06-30-2011 at 09:55 PM.. Reason: Forgot an important detail. |

These are the BMW Status Code Description:

BMW AG 191 Returned to BMW AG 193 Arrived at Port of Exit (where my car was stalled) 194 Selected for Shipment 195 Shipped from Port of Exit 196 Shipment Arrival — ATA My dealer ordered three 1Ms but is only getting one. You will not get interest. Ask for your money back and tell your CA that as soon as BMW accepts the build then you will give them the 5K. However, don't hold your breath. There are a few 1Ms in Cal with second stickers asking 5-40 K. Good luck. |

5-40K stickers?
Are you saying that in addition to the sticker price, they are asking for an additional $5,000 - $40,000? Is that really what you mean?
Oh yeah, stupid question: Does CA mean Customer Associate? Last edited by AwaitingBlack1M; 06-30-2011 at 11:15 PM.. |

Yep, price is in addition to MSRP-
Apparently, 1Ms are in very short supply, only 500 destined for America. There were allocated based upon sales dealerships generated over the years. Mine in Seattle got one asked for three. Reports on this website indicated that there will be no more built. It's a classic supply and demand issue. You will need to seek some direct answers. I mean direct answers, not salesman speak. You may need a plan B. |

Quick question for the dealer:
When I order a car from you in August, does it count towards your quota for August? Or does it count towards your quota for the month the car actually arrives and we complete the paperwork? Thanks! |

The sale doesn't count until you're driving the car off the lot.

I have a strange feeling my CA isn't telling me everything. I wanted to do Performance Center Delivery for my 135i but was told the program is full. I can wait till mid/end October for an opening or I can take normal delivery at the dealer and have it in August. However I don't see how it would be physically possible to get it that soon.
My CA confirmed the car is in production, but the 1-800 number tells me the car is scheduled to be completed on 8/16. According to the CA though I'll have it in August. That would mean my car is built and on the way already? Going by the timeline the 1-800 # gives, 3-5 weeks for transport from 8/16 would put it in September. So my car would sit in a storage lot for a month until I could do the PCD? I would call my CA but I really don't have much faith in what he says, especially since he admitted he has never done PCD before. |

I can't tell you anything about PCD, but I think the 800 number is pretty accurate about when your car will be completed. My car was supposed to be done 7/22, and when I called today, my car has completed production. I'm guessing I have a 3-4 week wait still until I can pick it up at the dealer. So if your car won't be done until mid August, you're looking at least until early September before you get it.

My vehicle production is complete, but it's waiting to be released to the carrier according to the 800 number. Does this mean myl car didn't leave the factory before it closed down? (My car was done on July 22, and the factory closed on July 23.)

It all depends on which Extended warranty plan you get. It is worth it when their is something that does go wrong though. Just there is different tiers of extedned warranty offered by BMW.

Production Question
Hey,
I ordered my 135 all the way back on July 7th. I still havent received a production number. My CA could give me no information as to why it is taking so long. So I called my dealer and spoke to the woman in charge of orders. She said that 135s werent produced in August and only 4 dealers in the area where I live received allocations for builds in September. For reference, I ordered from BMW Darien in CT, which is a fairly large operation I believe. Seems a bit odd to me. Can you explain a bit as to what is going on, and if they are just giving me the run around? I am not sure what to do at this point, I cant keep waiting like this. Also, is there anything that I can try to get by waiting 2 and a half months with no production number? Any help would be appreciated. |

Yeah I spoke to my CA and he said that only 4 dealers received allocations in the region. Allocations come in within a week or so, I am first on the list so I better get one. This waiting game is awful though. At this point it really doesnt matter anymore because I've waited long enough to the point where I wont go to a different dealer, and its should only be a matter of a week before I get more info...
