Craziest Allocation Story

Man what a journey it was to get this car
Without this forum, it would have never been possible.

I placed an order at BMW Toronto December 2021
They said a February allocation
February became March, April, May, June, July, August
I couldn't believe it was this hard to get an allocation
So I came onto here and asked around and quickly saw
people getting allocations with orders placed after mine
I WAS FURIOUS
I called my dealer the next morning and cancelled my order.

I called every single dealer in Ontari that same day
One in Oakville had a purple 50th and I was THIS CLOSE to taking it.
Until they were disgustingly arrogant and rude.
I would have to do ALOT of changes to the car.
Wasn't fond of it but hey better than nothing, right ?

All hope was lost until GOD sent me an angel.

Literally 20 minutes after getting off withe phone for the 50th jar
Scrolling this forum he messages me and saying
" I had two allocation, cancelled one see if you can still get a Sept build" ... on the EXACT same day I cancelled.
A month later and maybe it would have been too late
A month earlier and he wouldn't have cancelled his allocation.
I called the second he gave me his number and BAM 3 days later I had an allocation in a difference province.
From 9 months of no allocation to a car built two weeks later to shipped and ready 2 months later.

This story truly was "a miracle"

Thank you to everyone in this forum who helped me along the way.
I hope you all get your vehicle soon and enjoy them.

I pick her up Tuesday

Congratulations! Beautiful build and seeing the interior shots makes me regret not going full leather. Experienced the same struggle as well, told my CA at my dealer multiple times to put me on the list for an Allocation and left my texts on read and kinda blew me off when I asked in person. Without the forums I would have been in line for MY24 😂
