Here is my scenario
Initial deposit August 03 was told it was # 4 in line. Last year checked status and was informed it was an error that I ranked # 14.
Received an unexpected call last week that the dealers first allocation was for eight cars, first four accepted second four are being contacted. If all of the first eight are spoken for, worst case scnerio, I will be contacted by October 1st to place an order which will be delivered in six to eight weeks bringing me to early December.
My questions are:
1. This seems like a large allocation in the first month of production. Is it realistic? Should I receive a VIN #? Is there ever a case were a dealer would accept an order and delay delivery for several months?
2. Is BMW producing SO MANY cars that demand will drop off or suffer. With the E39 I remember waiting lists of eighteen months. Does anyone know how long a wait would be if leaving an initial deposit today?
Thanks in advance for your input.
