Ordering M240i
Has anyone in the United States place an order on their 2017 BMW M240i yet? I've been told by my local dealer that I could not pre order or do anything until the car is into production, which is this upcoming July.

FWIW I tried ordering a 228 about 30 days ago and was told it wasn't possible due to no allocation left for manual trans as the production line is switching over to the 230/240.
Sigh...... |

Basically, the Leipzig plant shuts down, and its employees get their yearly vacation, between late June and mid-July for the switchover. I wouldn't be surprised if the plant is already partially shut down now to begin the retooling process.

If anyone is wondering, I originally placed my order on May 9th however they contacted me last week (June 2nd) and told me that I had a choice to go for the MY17 or keep the MY16, I went for the 16. I was initially worried I wasn't going to get a spot allocation until they contacted me on June 7th to advise that I have a VIN now. I ran the vin checker and the car is listed but the production date is still not updated yet so I'll update this when I see a production date.
It's possible that my M235i RWD 6MT - With Nav Pro - will be one of the last of the N55 builds.

2017 2 Series ordering / pricing guide came out yesterday. Met with dealer yesterday and designed mine, but start of production for Apple CarPlay is August, so I'm waiting.
