Order books full for the uk ?

With only 1900 M2 car promised to the UK,is there a danger of not enough cars to fore fill the orders ?
Each uk dealer will be lucky to see 10 cars in total !
What do you think ?

They're selling cars into 2018. So yes, they're full and then some.

I agree. The manager at my dealer hadn't heard the figure when I collected my car when we were discussing availability, he then said we'll have to think about not taking anymore orders if that's the case. Think they are only getting 3 this year on top of the demo car I bought, that they didn't use for lack of availability as well.

Is the 1900 definitely fact or speculation ? I have a build slot confirmed for 2017 and my local dealer could only confirm 2 cars this year which sold a long time ago and I put a deposit down late 2015 to secure a 2017 slot. I assume theirs will be all gone because they did confirm after the launch they took a lot of calls

AFAIK, you cannot have a confirmed build slot for 2017, only an estimated delivery date.

I guess what I mean is I have one of the 2 cars allocated in 2017 by my local dealer having put down a deposit and given a letter over so they have assured me I will get one of the 2 cars they know they will get in 2017.. no idea when in 2017 but that's not an issue for me, no hurry

UK dealers also do not have allocations yet for 2017, they are merely speculating. I'm going through this ATM

UK allocations yet for 2017

Does any have an allocation for 2017 ? or just expected delivery dates ?
What about people who ordered pre launch date in 2015 ?
Is is just demo`s being sold and pre launch, non bulid to order cars ?
it feels like BMW can`t get their head around this one ! or is it just the RHD market they are unsure of,lets face it the first M3 never was even available in RHD !

Dealers know how many cars they are getting for the 2016 calendar year (split of MY16 and MY17). This includes HEA and customer cars.

All of the MY16 customers have production numbers and some MY17 do as well.

ALL MY16 customers have scheduled production weeks.

MY17 customers getting their car in 2016 have expected production months.

At this point, NO allocations have been given out for 2017.

Any dealer telling you they have a guaranteed 2017 car is full of shit, simple as that.

Same situation. Deposit placed on launch day. I am the next customer to be allocated but no one can tell me when because they have not received details of their next allocation/batch
