A lot of new 3 series LCI's have now landed in the wild, could be a 3 series. I think the 2 series production update only started on 1st of August judging by people's build dates on here.

My dealer (BMW of Westbrook) got allocations for 230's, 330's, and an M440i GC. I'm still 2nd in line but it's looking more like a 2023 allocation for me, let alone delivery date.

I'm tempted to snag the 440, the missus really liked the fact that the GC is a liftback.

We'll see...

BMW Westbrook. A fellow Mainer! I actually contacted them first but they seem to be very small and gave me a longer timeline. Ended up working with Tulley in Nashua

Indeed! I'm up north so getting down to Westbrook is already a bit of a trek, and my CA is great so, I've been willing to wait.

Funny enough, I stopped into Tulley last week and spoke with Kevin, showed me around an M440i GC. Apparently one of his clients is getting an M4 CSL delivered this fall.

I am in the same boat as you. With same results. What dealer you on list ? I am in Grand Blanc. Stopped in Traverse City yesterday for the heck of it. No encouraging options with them either.

Okemos, I'm #1, but have no idea when the next one might come in. I think they have gotten 1 so far total.

Nice! What status are you at?

Another Tulley buyer here. Bought a 22 and now have a 23 in QC. They seem nice in general

Didn't love them at first but switched CA and they have been great

Why didn't you like them at first? This is my first time dealing with them so I'll appreciate any pointers.

Do you know if they work with any detailers? How are they with requests like no drilling holes for the license plate, not detailing the car, selling accessories, etc?

I think my CA was new so not necessarily his fault. But it was frustrating he could not give me clear answers on out of state purchase process. He would leave and be gone for awhile. But it also could have been because I was nervous about spending the money haha. I do plan on requesting no holes and no dealer sticker. So I will let you know. I am sure they will be fine. Also they have not asked me about accessories which is kind of surprising.

They've been good with me so far. They had an allocation for me from day one, so can't really complain about delays. He was actually surprised that my car has been built so soon. He also mentioned that the ZTK package is delaying cars.

The only thing that they haven't handled well are the M Performance Parts questions. My CA straight up dismissed my at-port installed parts questions. I guess they want to make money for installing the parts at the dealership. Also, won't throw in any complimentary accessories with the car other than the dealership plate frames.

P.S. I just came back from the dealership. I wanted a list of the compatible parts for the MY23. They basically said the website has all the information. And they did not answer the installation charges questions either

As far as detailing goes, my CA said they work with Automotive Elegance. So I've asked him for a quote for the Platinum plus (full frontal, side rockers, rear bumper) ppf package and full ceramic coating.
He agreed to no drilling holes and added it to his notes and recommended the Cravenspeed Platypus mount. He also said they do not put stickers, so that's good too!

Got a called from my SA today. Stated we are very very close the an allocation and wanted to do a last minute check if I wanted to change any options or colors. Added the 50th edition emblems, hope to get a prod number in Sept 👍🏻

Hap · 08-23-2022, 05:59 AM

How does a dealer know they are very very close to an allocation ?

Idk. They are one of the biggest dealers in the US. Maybe top 3 from what I've read here.
Maybe also because I have moved up on the list. Not sure. Early august I was 3rd in line. We will see! Fingers crossed for a production number in early Sept

Probably just as assumption based on past months.

Ordered in March, pushed later and later (as everyone has experienced), build week of late August, now might be early October.

However, keep moving forward. Now status 165

(for about 2 weeks now).
