The nearly 61% drop in the 3er from Q3 2021 to Q3 2022 isn't news to anyone waiting for an M3 allocation.
Combine supply chain part shortages / chip shortages then add on the Russia/Ukraine war which caused wire harness shortages & neon gas shortages (used to make semiconductors) and frankly I'm surprised the drop in production wasn't worse.
US dealers are getting just a tiny fraction of the M3 allocations that they'd typically get. My dealer estimates they may only get 3 or 4 M3 allocations this entire year (normally would be 12-15 at minimum).
M3 production from 2021-2023 will probably end up being 25% of what it would have been had times been "normal".
