an order bank just shows potential interest and a dealer can stack those that may not be real. I think they want to see how quickly they actually sell and the initial allocation covered production through April.
A handful of dealers got more than 1 (believe it was 10 dealers).
Don't think BMW NA wanted to overbuild with the initial batch and risk having them sit and that would truly kill the Touring for the US market.
