For those that have pre-ordered, do you consolidate your vehicle purchases under a single dealer, or do you shop around until you find an allocation or CA who is taking deposits? My thoughts are that returning to the same dealer would work in your favor wrt allocation, but honestly have no idea (this seems to be the Porsche/Ferrari strategy). If this is the case, I might simply wait for the car to be released before I put a deposit down with my local BMW dealer.

It is possible that the G87 will be unveiled at the Goodwood Festival of Speed on June 23-26. Your local center should be willing to take a deposit then, if it officially debuts. If not then it might be best to locate another center willing to take your deposit as the wait-list are bound to get lengthy.
Note, no one has necessarily pre-ordered, those that have given a deposit have simply put their name in line for an allocation.
