How long to get a production allocation?
I placed my order with a local dealership 8 days ago. Dealership keeps telling me they will update me, but I still don’t have any confirmation the order has even been placed, other than they ran my deposit. Is this typical? Should I be concerned? Am I simply waiting for a production allocation?
This is my first time ordering a BMW from the factory (2021 M3 6MT). In reading other threads it sounds like people were getting their internal order number much faster than me... Every time I ask, they say they’ll give me an update when they have one. Thoughts/advice appreciated! |

If you did not get a production number then they do not have an allocation and your order is sitting in a queue waiting for one to become available. You need to pin them down as to when they expect an allocation, I placed my first order with a local dealer on 2/20 and they played the same game with me. Finally after 5 weeks they admitted that they did not have any allocations until May/June which would have resulted in a July delivery. I was beyond pissed they were going to sit on my order for 12 weeks before anything would happen and didnt tell me that up front.

Dealerships should be getting their April allocations between the second and third week of the month. If your dealership gets the correct allocation then your order will get submitted. Keep in mind that no all dealerships will get the same amount or kind of allocations. Manual ones seem to be harder to get.
The April allocations will then be for a June production timeframe with arrival of the car about 8-10 weeks out from the June production date.

I’ve heard beginning of the month or the third week is when allocations drop. Just have a list of places to contact and if you find one with an allocation, give them your money... otherwise it’s the waiting game. My local dealer has my deposit and no allocation (which I figured out after the fact...) |

As said above, allocations are for two months out on production. I got in for March so I'm in for a May build. April's would be for June, and so on.

Allocations are issued on the first week of a starting month. They close on the last of the current month for car modification. Dealers usually spend all of the allocations by the mid of the month. Allocations released this month can be confirmed for production only till 31th of May. There is no way they get allocation for June production. But dont be decieved, dealer can schedule production for June and tell you its a allocation, but in fact, he is hoping to get in begining of May the free slot to confirm this production. If dealer cant confirm you next month production by the end of second week of current month dont bother and go to the next dealer. I recieved allocation on 3rd March, confirmed for mid April production.
