Miracles do happen, got a production slot!

After months of waiting, finally got a production slot on a 30i at the largest dealership in the States - BMW San Antonio.

Glacier silver, Cognac Vernasca, M sport package, Convenience package, dynamic handling option, 18" M Double-spoke orbit grey wheels, style 798M with performance non run-flat tires, etc.

Am pumped!

Thanks and yes I'm tracking.

Upon receipt gonna protect it good:

1. Pay a mobile service to prep the car for a ceramic coating including clay, de-iron, etc.

2. Apply CQuartz 3.0 UK ceramic coating

3. Apply a polymer coating on all inside, hidden painted wells

4. Vacuum, do a Gyeon cleaner prep and coat all leather surfaces with Gyeon ceramic coating

5. Treat the fabric top with 303 Marine UV Protectant

With the production number which the dealer should give you the car can be tracked through the BMW system from the day you signed the paper. This is a BMW service to the buyer.

If a dealer has a production slot you should be able to get the number in a week. I have gotten one as soon as two days.

Word to the wise. Its not uncommon for a dealer to make a deal for a car he has no allocation for.

Always, always ask for the production number. If he can't provide it in a reasonable time frame he has no allocation & will string you along till he gets one.

Got a production number assigned the day my CA called confirming they had an allocation. Signed the dotted line today and emailed it to him.

Since you are thinking about maybe changing the color, when is your production slot for? BMW seems to let us change some things until literally the last minute.

Oh, and congratulations!

Once it goes into production you can't make changes.
