Does anyone have anticipated figures on planned initial production/will all dealerships get a least one allocation during the initial run?

I would prefer a 50th Anniversary edition at the beginning of production. From what I have seen in other threads the first 4 months of the run will be limited 50th anniversary edition.

I am concerned that the dealer lists I am currently on will not have enough allocation at the beginning of the production run to potentially secure a car at my spot in line.

What # are you in line at the dealer?

I have my name on 4 dealer lists:

Dealer 1: #1 on the list but charging $5k above MSRP and asking for $5k down payment (I thought this was excessive)
Dealer 2: #1 on the list at MSRP, this dealer is not a high volume dealership that according to the manager, rarely gets M car allocation.
Dealer 3: #8 on the list at MSRP, high volume dealership
Dealer 4: Supposedly #3 on the list at MSRP but the sales contact I continue to reach out to won't call me back to confirm.

All dealers except for dealer 1 told me that will not take a deposit from me at this time as they are too far out from official announcement, but I know full well that they have no contractual obligation to fulfill my supposed place in line without a deposit, this is purely a gentleman's agreement at this point.

Really depends on the dealer.

I'm going to assume each dealer gets their first HEA at some point in November. Whether or not that slot will be modifiable is up in the air...I'd guess that it would be. After that it'll be based on the stores volume and if they're an 'M' store.

This is nuts, I'm first on the list @MSRP with just 1k down and my dealer gets allocated Ms at a decent rate.

Are these HEA for sale or just for the show room?

Isn’t production supposed to start in December.So how could a dealer be getting a HEA in October or November.HEA’s usually arrive at dealers just before new models go on sale to the public.

Definitely for sale.

Though there's usually a date set by BMW stating when the car can be sold.

Makes sense, October-November seems a bit early though, I thought production wouldn’t start until December. Would love to see one in person though.

BMW hands out these vehicles a month prior to production so you have ample time to modify/sell the vehicle. The car will go into production in December.

For example, BMW gave my store its HEA X1 just yesterday with a week 35 build. The car will likely get here in early fall and probably won't be able to sell it until November/December.

Somone has said to expect one a month per dealer it seems a bit low to me but this perason might have not clue. I am kinda hoping they do a special numbered relase for the 50th but not holding my breath.

Hopefully you are correct and we will see HEA cars arriving that early.F87 production for the US and Canada started in February of 2016 and the first HEA cars arrived at dealers in March.Some dealers allowed customers to take delivery of the HEA models right away but they were supposed to hold them at the dealership until the official April 16 launch date.


Just a quick edit.I assume you are talking about getting your HEA allocation in October or November with the HEA being produced in December.I originally thought you meant that you would be receiving the HEA at your dealership in October or November.

I wish I was kidding. Unfortunately, I live in a market where some consumers will spend anything they can to get the car they want. I'm not interested in playing games, just want a deal at MSRP with a decent slot in line that has a high chance of getting the 50th anniversary edition.

Seeing everyone else's experience with their confirmed allocation slot anywhere from #1 to #5 at MSRP with $1k down now is making me nervous for my situation.

I'm 3rd in line with 5k down.

New car sales manager sent me an email confirming the allocation, refundable deposit and msrp. High volume dealership in a wealthy area.

I would have no problem putting down that amount if the price was MSRP. I just can't seem to find a dealership with a small enough list at MSRP. I was quoted 10th in line at another this morning with an estimated wait of 2.5 years...

There's an audi and porsche dealership next door, and a Bently, RR, Aston, Alfa, Lotus dealership across the street. My dad has also bought like 10 cars from them so I think they'll take care of me.

Wow,there seems to be even more interest in the new G87 than the F87 before it’s release.I don’t remember someone posting that there was a dealer with that long of a list this far in advance of the F87 release date.I guess it shows just how much everyone liked the original M2.

I called a dealer in Texas that had 26 on their list... evidently I'm very late to the party.

That'll be a 2 year wait for an allocation.
