Any 2014 allocations left for M235's?

I'm getting worried, my dealer took my deposit and ran my credit app and made it sound like they will find me an allocation no problem.. Now I'm not so sure there are any left anywhere in the US with only 4 more weeks of production remaining for MY2014.

I don't think I would anywhere near the same deal if I were to get pushed into a 2015

I believe today 6/2 first business day the dealers will get verified on their June allocation - I'm in a similar mode.

Ramos, have you heard anything?
I put down a deposit two-weeks ago (May 21st) and have NO production or VIN #'s.

Believe you are mistaken. Ramos has a CA looking for a 2014 M235i allocation. All MY2014 allocations are already in play, as dealerships get their allocations the first week of the month for the following month. If your CA isn't actively looking to trade an allocation with another dealer who has a non-sold allocation, you won't be getting a 2014. Dealers will be getting allocations for July this week. Those will all be MY2015.

Thanks Hyperzulu for the clarification.
My dealer after two weeks is not providing me with information - so I'm guessing.

Sorry to hear that. I would seriously be pissed off at my CA. Either he's incompetent and thought M235 allocations were not an issue or he was dishonest and just wanted to lock you in while knowing he could likely not get a 2014.

Either way, I'm going there tomorrow and trying to push them to make me whole by giving me the same deal on a 2015.. Unlikely but we will see how close they come ...

It's probably too early for them to quote you a 2015...not sure if the incentives for MY2015 are known for one. Let us know how it pans out.

Essentially for the M235:
- new xDrive option
- the Oyster interior is now the same as the 228 (white seats but black carpets)
- the headlight washers are no longer standard, you need to get the Cold Weather Package to get them and they raised the price for that package from $550 to $700
- Streaming from Bluetooth is now available as a standalone option of $500. No longer need to order the tech. package.

Update: only 11 2014 6MT cars left in the country.

They can trade a local dealership for an Estoril Blue on black with premium, tech and driver assistance.

It's missing HK and heated seated from what I would have ordered.
Also I wanted Terra interior, but I do have to admit the blue on black combo is sportier looking especially if I add black grills and carbon fiber mirror caps.

Should I pull the trigger? Same deal at 3K under MSRP including the 1K incentive with base doc fee ($80) and base MF (0.00130)

I was told that a dealer in Florida had 2 allocations left for August delivery....

Why are you looking for heated seats in So-Cal?

I doubt they will trade allocations. South Florida has a big market

Honestly, I would have chosen to hold out for exactly what I wanted or for someone to place an order for me. But the waiting gets old fast, I aint gonna lie.

You can always replace the stock speakers but would have to go without heated seats. dont know how important they are for you vs waiting who knows how long? id settle for both interiors on EB, they both look great!

if i was in an E46 M3 maybe the wait would be easier. My E46 330ci is holding me over for now. am definitely driving her more spirited in anticipation of the 235.... lol

but the waiting sucks!

I hear you..
I would wait but I don't think I will be able to get this deal on a 2015 anytime soon.
I am ok with the black interior because It's sportier looking anyway. I will upgrade the speakers but to your point can't do anything about the heated seats..
Probably not a deal breaker in So-Cal as I only use them a few times a year anyway ..
