In my case the car will most likely deliver the second week of January. I don't think Rusnak has bad information or is misrepresenting. This is just what they've been told by their region representative. We all know that BMW may extend the program. It's just an issue I'd rather not deal with. What is , is!
I plan to buy the car regardless, and enjoy it as much as I've enjoyed my other 18 BMW's.

cpiguy,
I suppose there is a possibility that their information is correct in absolute terms. You are correct, it looks like my timeframe may be shorter than yours for delivery, which may be the reason why there is no problem w/eco credit. I did consider that, but it still sounds very unlikely to me mainly because all financial offers by BMW have been (at least for the past 15 years) good as of the date of contract signing/lock in/order placing etc. NOT based on delivery date. They have had the 60 day (or longer) lock for as long as I can remember, and the few occasions that delivery has been stretched past that window - as is usually the case w/cars ordered from germany (90 days usually from order to delivery in US) - they have been more than happy to extend the lock if it takes a little longer for the delivery than the lock allows. So... its been a long standing policy to say the least. What Rusnak is saying would indicate a drastic change in that policy, w/very unpleasant effects for its customers at a time when auto industry is in the doldrums. While I am not saying it's not possible it just sounds not very likely to me. Another thing is, if what they say is true, people who place orders during December will all get excluded from the eco credit if they get deliveries (which is most likely) some time after 1/4... no?
