Expected production date: July

Expected delivery: mid-August
That's odd. Seems your dealer didn't have any slots/allocations to even order a 2012. They should have told you that, before placing your order.
And, since they didn't, I would ask them to deduct any base price increase for 2013.

There are dealers with 2012 allocations.
2012 orders are being taken until at least the end of this month, and likely for June as well.
Official 2013 orders start in July, but there are early orders that can be placed for earliest delivery.

I take it that your order was confirmed by BMW?
If not make sure your dealer places your order.
From what my dealer SA told me, early 2013 orders can be made in June.
I'll have to ask if they can be place now, as I'll be at the dealer this week.
I want to drive the 335i sport line again along with the 328i, as I'm ready to place an order, maybe for a 2012 as my SA said he can still do that and they have allocation for it. Of course, that was nearly a couple of weeks ago.

Good luck. The wait can suck, but it'll be that much sweeter when your new BMW finally meets you.
