I know, I know, we've all recieved different info from our trusted dealers. At this point, I'm just going to assume that I'll be eligible until I'm told otherwise.
In the mean time, another thing that's interesting is that I placed my order on the Oct. 16th, which was confirmed by BMW on the 18th, and I still do not have a production date. I know a number of you do.

It does sound weird... it's got to be something between Rusnak and BMW NA, allocations, punishment
... not sure... or could be regional, say California has a certain number of allocations and if other dealers get the orders in 1st they win... my bet is (and of course sincerely wish it for you) you are going to be fine. The Feb 1 delivery requirement sounds as screwy as 12/31 did before to me. Unless BMW sales numbers turn around 180 degrees in the next month or two so they are up by 50% or something I just can't believe they would mess w/people who placed orders in Oct... even if their production slot is getting delayed (certainly not due to your doing). Even if it's something the dealer messed/is messing up I'd still think the deal will be honored. BTW, did you get an order document w/the ECO credit calculated in by any chance? Can you get it from your sales guy if you haven't? I got a pretty straight forward order w/$4500 credit calculated in, so just as another member mentioned, that's the deal I was offered and if anybody tries to alter that (unless they want to reduce the price of course
I will refuse, or not take the car and make a big stink about it - which would be completely justified. I understand that your situation is a little more complicated if the sales guy is your friend and the dealership a big client of yours...
