Interesting. Sorry to hear of the frustrating experience.
Were you first on your dealer's list?
Start of production in October goes against everything we've bee hearing regarding the i8. Unless they meant your i8 would start in October... In which case it is possible / quite likely there were others on the list before you from other dealers and/or countries.
It's a limited run car and is being exported to a large number of countries. I can see where allocations can seem all over the place.
I highly doubt that BMW chose to put you in line behind other customers just because they felt like it. There is no logical reason to do so. The logical explanation is that there was already a long enough line (for Germany-bound i8's) when you placed your order to where you would up with an October time slot.
And, for all we know, that may be 2 people!
