Sorry to hear... If you find the car, put a hold on it with a credit card. That's worked for me twice. The car is marked sold, pending paperwork.
I've gone as far as working with the loan officer over the phone, completing the paperwork, less the signature. The dealer drove the car to me, I signed the paperwork and had my car the same day. It's a new car. You don't need to see it. You know what you're getting. Jump on it and explore all of your options. |

Hah I offered to put a deposit via CC to hold the car. They had too much interest in the car and claimed first one to sign the papers got the car.
I have an existing Week 25 build allocation with another dealer so it's not a huge deal. I just thought it was funny that it came down to a 30 minute time difference |

I didn't say you were shady. I said people complain that dealerships are shady. You had an allocation. You had a car coming. You had an agreement with a dealership and your M2 was on the way. Yet, you would deprive someone else of their right to buy a car and that dealership the right to sell them one, and then give up your allocation. I waited six months to get my allocation so I could get the car I wanted in the configuration I wanted. I had a deal, in writing, for a car and would not have bought a car elsewhere while I waited. All I meant to say to you is I felt sorry for you before I had knowledge of all the relevant facts. Now I don't feel sorry for you any more.

The same thing happened to me but I didn't have a allocation. However, I had the opportunity to get the car weekend before. I wasn't satisfied with what they were going to offer for my trade (2016 M235i) and had made up my mind, before test driving; that I wasn't going for a deal like that.
I remember sitting in my car down the road and almost going back. |

On reflection, I apologize for all of my remarks about this situation and sincerely hope you will forgive me. I had the feeling I should have just shut up and not hit the "send" button after I had typed all that but I just hit the button anyway. It was wrong of me. I am truly sorry...
