1-Series Shortage?

Just wondering what your experiences have been in getting this car..

I have been to both BMW dealerships here in Raleigh, and it is almost impossible to get the coupe. Either a 128i/135i. Neither have any coupes on the lot and to obtain one, you need an 'order slot'. They have neither of these as well.


Is this true at all dealerships in the States?

Well I'll be bringing my 135i south soon but to answer your questions about other dealerships... I just got my 135i up here in NJ and it was really hard finding a black 135i in stock. I was told by most of the dealerships that the last of the 08's were just coming in and then there would be a short break until the 2009's start coming in so that's probably why you're seeing a shortage for now. As for me... I didn't feel like waiting and paying a bit more for an 09 when it's almost the same =)

(Plus I like that "year of the 1" on the starter bezel!)

Both dealerships in the triad area have 1's in stock. Maybe 10 cars between the two of them. I believe they both have coupes as well (only in black however).

Considering the last post was in October of last year, I think he's probably been able to find one

When i was searching for a car back in January..i couldnt find much in Atlanta. There was ONE black coupe i found but it was at a Ford dealership and was a demo.

I eventually drove 8 hours to Florida to find the car i want.

I'm pretty sure he's found one by now considering he couldnt find one back in Sept of last year. If he hasnt been able to find one by now..... well......... maybe he shouldnt be driving in the first place LOL
