Allocation are country dependent. If you are in the US or Germany for instance, you shouldn't get any problem to get a 530 or 540i on time, but for some other countries in Europe, allocation for petrol engines is very low.
I ordered a 540i in France earlier in March, expected delivery date was around end of May/early June, but it has been delayed to September du to the higher than expected demand on petrol engines in France..
Basically, countries where most of the production are sold with diesel engine doesn't receive a lot of allocation for petrol, this is how it works (at least for BMW). And yes this is really BS because French government is now increasing taxes on diesel engines, so now people start again to buy petrol ones..
