Did my dealership sell my allocation?
I ordered a 3 series a couple of weeks ago and received the production number and VIR. Been tracking that production number and everything was accurate on the website. On Monday my dealership told me that the car is set to begin production next week. On Tuesday, the car randomly changed interior/exterior colors on the BMW website. I called the BMW Genius who noted this was not a mistake and the colors in fact were accurate.
I texted my salesman who said there was a "glitch" with the BMW website and that it was fixed and sent me a new production number. I asked if the car was still scheduled for production at the same time and he said yes. I called the BMW Genius today who told me that the new production number is not scheduled to begin production until mid-April (a month later than the original). Meanwhile, the original production # I was given is currently in production. Did they sell my allocation? Or was there truly a glitch? |

Kind of sounds like someone paid to skip the line. If you have other dealers nearby, I would try to find another March allocation.

At this point I've got 2 other dealers that I am trying to match the lease payment on and if they have an upcoming allocation I'm going to request my deposit back (or dispute with the bank if they refuse). I don't see any reason why the bank wouldn't side with me since I never signed anything.

Yeah, that doesn’t pass the smell test.
