Dealer says BMW Taking orders yet on 340i ?
My dealer has told me over the last month or so that they can't give me a production number yet for a 340i. A 328 they could. I live in PA. Last week they said this week. Any body else waiting?

I live in central PA and just finalized the order of my 340xi on Monday and got my production number the very next day. Ur dealer might not have or be able to find any allocation on a 340i yet that's probably why he cant get u a production number yet.

I just called my dealer. He said in the PA, NJ area BMW has not allocated 340I, orders on hold. California has 130 spots. He is trying to get an allocation from another dealer.

I ordered a 340xi around 7/19. Got my production number in 3 days. But it was for South Africa build, which doesn't start production until Aug for 2016 models. Don't have production date yet..... And I heard that it takes 3 months to get to East coast US from S Africa.... a long wait...

Sounds pretty fishy to me too. I ordered my 340 the first week of June and had the production number a day or two after. It doesn't make sense the BMW would withhold allocations for such a big market

A dealer thats shady from the start is not someone you want to be doing business with. There are several CA's you can find on the other forum that will get you a better deal and no bs.
