So when you place your order, it's important to understand for what build week the dealer has an allocation; e.g., two orders placed the same day, one for a build week X and the other for X + 4 weeks, will be completed roughly 4-weeks apart despite being ordered on the same day.
Now, you may get bumped up, as some have described here due to the order being marked as "sold," but I think it's relatively rare.
In summary, some dealers are honorable and give you an allocation for the near future, others are happy to take your deposit and not tell you their allocation isn't for 1 - 2 months. Either way, you should ask what build week their allocation is for and confirm it in writing and when you get the production number.
My experience (2020 X7 40i):
Order Date - 8/24
Production Begins - 8/26
Production Completion - 9/10
Delivery (PCD) - 9/25

Thanks for the info. Makes sense. Guess I need to ask dealer about allocation.
