And for a fact I know they don't care. Long story short. had 3k deposit with Superior MSP. BMW cut ties with all MSP sales agents besides Asia. I attempt to contact Superior about my deposit. They continued to ignore emails. I contact BMWNA to speak to the Military rep. She says "its not our problem". She could have cared less. Wouldn't send an email to Superior, call them, wouldn't send my email up the chain of command as they say. NADA!.

100% agree. Military sales in Germany are now under the auspices of the dealers there. I have heard and assume this is because they were missing out on Soldiers based there returning from deployments with pockets full of bonus + combat pay and lobbied BMW about it. My Sales Rep here in Japan is furious about the 0 M2 sales. But as he reminded me, Superior Motorsports MSP is an independent company with an exclusive relationship with BMW.
Could it be that the reduced presence of US Soldiers in Germany and Europe that BMW mothership has lost sight of how my military members buy?
Oh....an rereading your post, "BMW cut ties with all MSP sales agents"....I think it may have happened here in Asia as well. They just announced BMW will no longer honor stateside delivery after DEC 2016. I take delivery in mid-2017. Since I had an order in with them, they will work out delivery at no extra charge, but cannot deliver to a dealership....still waiting on details, but it looks like port or home address delivery.
Again, sorry you are going through the troubles with MSP there. Any updates?
