Dealer yanking my chain?

Is the dealer yanking my chain?

I'm ready to place my order for a M5, I don't mind whether it's competition or not. The biggest reason I'm custom ordering is I want the Tartufo leather, and no one orders that.

I've been told by my local dealer that they can't order it because they don't have an allocation to order one.

I made an inquiry with another dealer in my state and they didn't say anything about that. Who's yanking my chain?

Your dealer has to have an available order allocation for said model in order to do a build for you. Sometimes they can trade with other dealers for an allocation slot if they don't have one. Otherwise, they may have to wait for BMW NA to allocate them more build slots in the coming months.

I'm in AZ too. I can hook you up with my sales guy at BMW NS if you want. We've done a ton of cars through him.

As for allocations, it could be that the dealer didn't currently have any allocations left. They will get more next month.

Your patience will pay off in the long run, because the Tartufo is absolutely gorgeous.

Good luck.

There is a 2018 DG with Tartufo at BMW Woodlands Houston. They messed up my order so I ordered a 2019.
