I placed my order back in April I am still at 1100. Dealership already got 1 allocation then everything went radio silence. I feel you.
I am feeling the same you are six. I been put my name on the wait list for 2023 c8 zo6. I might get lucky.
When I got my reservation for one of the 250 it didn’t list Lindsay as an option for some reason. I ended up picking the dealer in Frederick since it was the next closest. No idea what that says about Lindsay but I bought my 2012 v2 there and had a good experience.
The dealers had to register and set up a special account for the Blackwing orders. Could have easily been overlooked.
I am very curious to hear how your tracking of BMW will go. M
Having done it before, and having just watched my dad's car with him, it goes pretty smoothly. They give you more detail, like start date of production, when it goes into the paint shop, etc. Then they'll tell you what boat it's on, which goes outside their system but is pretty easy to track independently. GM really should take some notes, it doesn't have to be this hard.
It's about 24 to 72 hours from delivery at port (gets there via rail directly from the factory) to loading and departure, and then about the same from offloading to local truck departure. The Germans don't mess around, haha.
From order all depends on production slots and allocations. My dad's sales guy told him that he got lucky, got his order in just before production started to dry up with the chip shortage. In normal times though, they have monthly allocations and you're either in or you're out. Could place an order and have it go into production by the end of the week, or could be waiting for months hoping for a slot. Once it gets on the line though, it moves like clockwork--it's about a week tops between rolling off the line and the boat leaving port, depending on shipping schedules. It's a little over a week to get across the ocean if your car is going through NY/NJ, but it can be much longer if your car is going through a different port. My dad kept tracking the boat out of curiosity once it dropped his car and it kept going through the Panama Canal to drop off west coast cars after stopping through North Carolina. It's been almost a month since he took delivery, and the boat just left Vancouver for Japan the other day, so if you're on the west coast it's going to be a decidedly longer wait.
Sure, I could do that if I go that route and the group doesn’t mind. You enter your order number into your BMW garage. There’s a timeline to follow with the following categories:
I haven’t cancelled my BW order yet, waiting for the reviews to drop on Tuesday!
Yes, that's correct and there are separate allocations for the 4 & 5 BWs.
I wonder how Cadillac decides how many allocations of each BW model to give to a Dealer? I worry that my CT5-V order will wait in Order Workbench "forever" if my Dealer only ever gets CT4-V allocations!
It's my understanding that it's based on previous V sales. Remaining at 1100 is certainly a possibility. I wish you the best of luck.
