Went to my dealer today (Keeler MINI, Albany, NY) for service and walked into an empty showroom except for a 1/24th Remote Control MINI parked in the "featured" display area. My MA explained they have no MINIs in stock to sell and have sold all of their Oct. allocation, and anyone wanting to order will have to wait for November allocation. They do have some demos for people to drive, but he explained it is awfully hard to sell from an empty store !!

It looks like BMW is successful in keeping demand high by keeping supplies short !

 

I brought my car in for service today there for the first time and saw the same thing. I'm only up in Albany during the week and did not buy my car there but the service was excellent. I guess the couple of cars they had around such as the service bay were sold.
