Thank You, much appreciated.
In your opinion, how do you think the allocations are going to be allotted? I'm guessing by dealership volume first, and then any dealership with an on hand order second?
Only wondering since there are roughy 100 allocations currently assigned and the expectation is 200-250 total vehicles, how those next allocations are going to be assigned. Just weighing my chances of my dealership getting a second allocation or if I should collect my deposit and move on to something else.

Keep your deposit on the Build, if they get another slot, you should be next in line, even though they told you that you were Number 1.

NYC Benz;
Do you know the part number for the 18" bead lock wheels that are an option in Europe. I assume they are made by Hutchinson of Trenton NJ who make the bead locks for the Canadian Army G's.
I would like to get a set for winter and offroad tires. Mine arrives in February.

MSRP hasn't been announced yet, and I imagine that it will be a bit higher than $225k...however we should know sometime Next Month/Early January!

Whenever I place an order for a car which we do not have an actual allocation for (G65, E63 Wagon, etc..), I make my clients spec the entire car out option wise, and play the waiting game with the Manufacturer, that way when the order is actually allocated, no changes need to be made.
Makes it much easier that way. I have 3 GT R's waiting to be pulled for production right now, which my Clients have already spec'd everything out.
IMHO, every dealer should do this, instead of waiting for their slot to then make changes.

One of my client's wants to transfer a Roof Rack from his G63; that should be a fun project!
