Are you saying if a customer wants to do an ED and it's offered by BMW, then the dealer does not have the authority to refuse the customer? I don't think so.
The dealer can refuse to do any ED deal (or any deal) if he feels the deal is not in his best interest. In my book, that means the dealer has the final say, not BMW, the corporation. That's control. |

Dealer "market availability addendum" (or mark-up a la 1M when it first came out) is a good case in point. BMW NA frowns on it but cannot forbid it. Some dealers do it habitually and others won't even consider it. |

Do I know a dealer who refused an ED deal? Sure, Peter Pan BMW. When the car first came out, they were selling M4's with a market adjustment of 10 - 15k over MSRP. BMW made that car eligible for ED; but, regardless of how much you cried to BMW, the corporation, there is no way in hell Peter Pan BMW would discount their allocation for that car. Had they discounted it, that would have been stupid. Here's one for you: prediction- the M4 GTS will not be sold by a dealer at an ED discount even if BMW were to allow that car to be sold that way. |

Bob Smith BMW in Calabasas (Northwest Los Angeles) told me they would not do an ED on the M2. Two other dealers in the area told me they would be $5,000 over MSRP and others were not taking deposits or list. I have two deposits at two out of state dealerships.
I am hoping to do an ED then a delivery at the performance driver training facility outside of La Quinta, California. I am not sure they are doing deliveries there yet.

With the ease of forums and social media you'd think the dealers would think twice about doing insane markups. It doesn't take much for a a group of angry people to load up their google/yelp page with 1 star reviews or get a bad rep on a forum.

I don't read online reviews of the various McDonald's in my area before deciding which one to go to.

Good deal. Make sure it is ED MSRP and not US MSRP.
