I hit the jackpot! There was a car mentioned in another thread here that led me to a new 2017 with my four must-haves: RWD, Coupe, Manual, and Sunroof Delete.

With the 6-speed and sunroof delete, I knew that the car was a special order. It turned out that the buyer got tired of waiting, bought something else, and the dealer was stuck with a car that no ordinary buyer would want. It's been on the lot for the past year.

To get it out of there they sold it to me for $10K below MSRP, which is how they have all of their new 2017s priced. It's like the pricing on the pickup trucks I've bought...Xmas in June!

After my dealer received and modified the allocation last night, car went into 150 status today and I have a VIN. Talk about cutting it close, unless the move from Priority 3 (Dealer stock) to Priority 9 (PCD) just bumped it into production.

Is anyone aware if there's still an issue with getting an allocation. I went to order a 2-series and the dealer told me there were no 2-series allocations in the US until Feb. 1.

That sounds right. 2019 production is ending in Feb. My dealer told me I got one of the last 2019 allocations back in December. M240ix coupe is still in "scheduled for production" status. I hadn't heard when they were going to start the 2020 MY run. Sounds like right away.
