My experience has been that once you receive a VIN and put your order on hold, you are prioritized once the hold is released. Here are my data points for reference:
- Ordered: 6/18
- VIN received: 9/14
- Hold #1: 9/15
- Hold Released: ~9/27
- VIN #2 received: 10/7
- Hold #2: 10/10
It only took ~1.5 weeks from releasing my hold to receive another VIN.
I ordered the MY this summer so I could take advantage of the high resale value of my 2018 M3. Since the resale value has stayed high, I've decided to wait a bit longer for the MY since we are theoretically much closer to a few upcoming changes, in order of when I expect them (2022 VIN, Front/Rear casting updates, Range increases (
MiC MY have had their range increased from 594km>640km), 4680 cells (not banking on this by EoY based on shareholder mtg comments), and EV tax credits (I believe there is another vote scheduled for end of October?))
