I'm beginning to think there might be a problem with allocations and availability of the $4,500 credit, so I'm getting stonewalled until the dealer gets clarity from BMW NA.

Now, if BMW NA wants to limit the offer to diesels in dealer inventory, as they started out, that's fine. If BMW NA wants to then expand it to vehicles ordered by August 31, that's OK as well. If BMW NA then wants to artificially limit the number they sell with the discount by then limiting it to a production cut-off date, not just an order date, then that fine as well. That's their business decision.

BUT HEAR THIS BMW NA, IF YOU STILL MONITOR THESE FORUMS... MAKE UP YOUR MIND AND COMMUNICATE YOUR DECISION TO THE DEALERS.

Having potential customers hanging around with "what-if" deals while you can't make up your mind is not good for your reputation and, in at least this case, may drive a potential customer to your competition.
