Unfortunately, guys, we are part of this problem.
We all liked the new 1er and placed orders, it appears that a lot of others (not on the forum) did as well recently.
It is a new model thing
It appears that the F20/F21 have become a must have hot item.
Stats have sales of GTi and A3 down and Er1 up.
The bright side here is that BMW cannot increase current production so it keeps ours (when we do get them) a bit exclusive on the road.
Be patient, I think it will be worth it
