First of all,

.
Let me explain. Several weeks ago, I built the E70 I wanted online and sent it to two BMW dealers near my area. I indicated I would like to talk about my configured vehicle first. One of the dealers responded and got the process going for me, and I never heard from the other. "Your loss" I though. So, fast forward to yesterday, when, after talking about, ordering, and completing the process with the E70 from dealer "1", dealer "2" randomly leaves me a message saying my car is ordered, and this is the production number.
I was stunned. Did I not ask about three weeks ago to contact me about getting the process started? Did I ask you to order me a $54,000 car?
The person from Dealer "2" is faxing me some info over ( a little late!) and I will call them later this evening. The thing is, even though dealer "2" decided to take a stupid shortcut, dealer "1" still has my order sitting in their dealership because they have topped out their allotment for the time period. Perhaps I can change dealers? Or at least get a discount from dealer "1" for being slow?
I'll keep you posted on anything new.
I'm still a little amazed....
