My salesman says earliest might be end of January. Anyone hear anything else regarding quantities per dealer etc?

From other threads in this forum, there is, instead, a selection process taking place at BMWNA which is going to determine who, among a "group of buyers", will be offered the car. The "group of buyers" is, supposedly, comprised of names submitted by all dealers. The BMWNA selection criteria has not been announced (that I know of, other than the obvious you must have lots of $$$$$) so, we're left with guessing what the criteria might be. Additionally, it's not clear how this process will play out. If, for example, BMWNA tells a dealer one of his customers has been selected and the customer, subsequently, declines the offer then does the allocation stay with the dealer? Or does it go back to BMWNA where they will select another candidate? If the scenario is accurate - it's very complicated, very mysterious and, IMO, very unnecessary. |

Nothing has been allocated yet. It will be after year end. The main factor for allocation is the store's M Retail Sales Performance, which will be measured when the year ends for us on January 4th.
Hope that helps! |

Thanks guys. My dealer moves a lot of M's, but who knows if they will get 1 or 2. And even then I may not be "selected".

This. Outside of Ferrari, I have never seen this occur so blatantly. I told my dealership that I wanted one when the first announcements hit and since then I've purchased the i8 and an X5 for my mom. I would think that they would place these cars with enthusiasts and not speculators. I drive my cars and think that all cars deserve to be driven as their designers and engineers conceived them to be driven. I apologize in advance if I've offended anyone but I believe in buy and drive, not buy and garage. Cheers-mk |

BTW, buying a i8 doesn't put you in any special BMW group. It's a great car but they aren't selling like hotcakes, my dealer has 2 in showroom right now for whomever wants one. Just wait and see, you may get one. Besides, just because you think one way doesn't mean we all must agree. I'm sure at least half of them will become "bubble cars", preserved for future generations to enjoy and nothing wrong with that!

It is about the total commitment to the brand that I am discussing when I stated I purchased the i8 as well as all of the other business that I direct to the dealership. My mom's vehicle is the least of it. We shall see what happens...I just believe that car's should be driven. Cheers-mk |
