Exclamation BMW USA dealers taking orders Aug/Sept?

I contacted my local dealership a couple of weeks ago about ordering the new F30. Yesterday they call me up and tell me that they are going to start taking orders late this summer, which will go into production in November, and they expect them at their dealership Jan/Feb. Is it me, or does this seem super aggressive??

I originally contacted them because my Z4 lease expires in April '12, and i thought that was going to be pushing it to replace it with a F30?

Thoughts?

It's true, the F30 production begins November - see http://www.f30post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=543353

But, they won't go on sale in the US until next Spring (2012) and won't be in dealerships until then.

That won't be announced until next year. Anything else is simply speculation.

Deposits should be refundable in any case. Just make sure that you get it in writing.

Guess you can say that. Considering the world autoshow debut of the F30 will be in March 2012 at the Geneval autoshow, Jan/Feb arrivals just doesn't make sense (cars are not sold/delivered prior to their autoshow debuts).

There will be no 2012 model year E90 sedan (see http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=542482).

E90 sedan production ends in October and will end as a 2011 model year.

i think we are being lied to. as Jason stated above, there is no way we will be getting new F30s before it is premiered in Europe. i hate that dealerships lie.
