According to my sales guy, there was an initial production run of 31 cars that went to the west coast in August, but they weren't custom orders - so some weirdness with the 2 series. He did confirm his dealership should get an allocation on 9/23 (November production), so worst case that's what i'm looking at. Meanwhile, he's looking to see if any existing orders can be altered.
UPDATE: Got my production #
. Looks like it'll be an early October production date (week 41 or 42).
