Entered the lotto for a 530E
Well, it seems like it is a lottery. I place the order for a 530E with the dealer over 3 weeks ago. And there they have no production order number yet. They are just hoping one will drop in on them.
I wish I would have found this forum before I placed my order. I have learned a lot reading though these boards and would have handled things differently with the dealer. Here hoping my numbers come up! |

Congratulations! What spec did you go with? Do you mind dropping a link to your build?

They got my deposit. So I don't think they care. The sales person will not respond to e-mail or phone calls, had to call sales manage to get any information.

This will be my ninth new car, of which 2 were also ordered. I have never had so much problem with dealers, wondering if it just BMW. |

I agree with others that you should push the dealer to look elsewhere for an allocation.
FYI - If you do get an allocation soon, those massaging seats may push back your build date. I removed them from my M550 build as it was pushing my estimated start date back until mid-June. After I removed, I am now looking at a mid-April start to production. |

Still no allocation - It been 42 days. Two weeks ago when the responded to my e-mail they stated that they are working on it every day and be patient, and give them time. Now they are not returning my e-mail at all.
Are all BMW dealer this difficult? |

But you have nothing to lose since you're in a holding pattern here. Reach out to another dealer and see if they have an allocation and can play ball with your number. If so, unwind your deal once you've been given a build sheet with your allocation information. As your current dealer can try tactics to speed things up like trading allocations or shifting stuff around (assuming BMW has enough allocations that other dealers aren't struggling to and don't have allocations to trade). I am super happy I ordered in 2019. This all sounds like a genuine nightmare. Long delays and cars showing up without ordered options. Just not my bag. I wish you the best of luck. |

After 42 days they could have easily traded for a slot but they don't obviously care or they have higher profit orders they want to take care of. Either way...get yourself out of there. You might also complain to your Attorney General and to the local media. |

I ordered my G30 in November 2020. Still no production allocation.
Firstly it was scheduled for February, then my dealer had fixed allocation for April but recently when I asked for an update, they told me that April has been cancrled and they are waiting for confirmation of allocation for June. That’s crazy, especially since I have sold my car last year... |
