BMW F 450 GS bookings temporarily stopped

BMW launched the F 450 GS in the second half of April. Now, in less than two months, the brand has stopped accepting bookings for the smallest GS in its lineup. Dealer sources suggest that the first batch of allocations has already been spoken for and the second batch of allocations is expected post-July.

  1. F 450 GS bookings stopped until next allocation cycle
  2. Next allocation cycle expected after July
  3. Customers can expect a tentative waiting period of 3-4 months after booking

BMW F 450 GS: What to expect?

It is worth noting that the brand hasn’t released an official statement.

All three variants - Base, Exclusive and Trophy - have already been spoken for and the brand has temporarily stopped accepting bookings. The second cycle of allocation for the top-spec Trophy variant - with the ERC - is expected after September. Meanwhile, the second allocation cycle for the lower Base and Exclusive variants is expected as early as July. However, it is pertinent to note that BMW hasn't released an official statement and this story is corroborated based on information gathered from dealer sources.

Sources also suggest that customers who have already booked the F 450 GS in early weeks of April have been told a waiting period spanning over 3-4 months. Customers planning to book the smallest-GS in the second allocation cycle should also expect a similar waiting period.

What do you think about E85 fuel’s Rs 82.12/litre price in India?

Good - Rs 20/litre cheaper than E20 is a big advantage
Bad - it should have been priced even lower
Doesn’t matter - there aren’t enough E85-compatible vehicles yet
