This type of sh!t aggravates the hell out of me.
I had a dealer I had been working w/ for over a year try and throw ADM at me and press me by giving me the whole act quick now sales pitch when allocation was announced. Another dealer claimed $10k + and they weren't allowing any customer orders on the vehicle before delivery.. so their spec only. I guess they aim to squeeze every dime out of whichever sucker falls into their web. Gouging a few thousand to a dealership truly spoils what should be an exciting moment for a customer and could ultimatley build consumer / dealer relationship for future sales. Thankfully, I found mine at MSRP fully configurable. Good luck on finding the right one, they are still out there. |

I would bail out on the deal honestly!
You can try to say you'll stick with it if they remove the ADM....otherwise, walk! I think you will be able to find a used one or even maybe a new one in 6 months at under MSRP somewhere State side! They are not selling out or in such high demand to command an ADM. |

I think it depends on the contract, in most cases where you're putting a deposit down and you don't have a written agreement, I think it'll default to state law.
That being said I've had a few instances where dealers wanted to charge a non-refundable deposit for a custom order because they didn't want to get stuck with a hard-to-sell Individual color if I backed out, in that case I think that's a fair agreement. The point is, is always get everything in writing. It sucks that the OP found themselves in this situation after being a loyal customer, I personally would badmouth him all over the internet and social forums and review websites and let their reputation get damage while taking my business elsewhere. |

You can file a complaint to BMW NA and they'll actually contact the dealer to investigate any shady practices. Enough complaints and they'll force the dealership to fire the sales manager responsible.
Who knows, they may return the 5k. Worth a shot. Any time I've had to contact BMW NA they've been extremely responsive and helpful.

I see. So sort of a I'm-official commitment.

To those that said dealers do it because it works...are right. A sucker is born every minute.
I got my Comp at MSRP and I thought that was a great deal. A few months later they were letting them go for less when some demand subsided. If that $5k markup was a last minute add-on after ordering the car or being on a waitlist, I would put them on blast all over social media and with anybody who would listen (Like BMW NA as suggested). Doubt the OP will do that since they were pretty demanding in their post but haven't responded to anybody.

There are multiple scenarios where someone may buy 10+ cars a year...

Dealer out in Virginia is looking for $5k over MSRP. Maybe thats why they have 2 still available if anyone is interested.

Dealer advertising above MSRP
Maybe off topic since this is technically "at (or below)", but I've just seen a new AW M2 CS at a Virginia dealership (on Autotrader) for $5k over MSRP.
