Order Cancellation Letter Opinions

[pgaX5]

That's true...I shouldn't be too eager about it. My trump card here is that I also have a good relationship with the dealer 70 miles South, and they're willing to sell anything to me at $500 over invoice...if my current dealer tries to stick me with a bad deal, I walk out and call the other dealer.

You only need to mention that you're interested in the 2011 now...that's it.

This is no rumor anymore, german dealers already have the LCI information. Production seems to start in April and it doesn't really matter if it starts a couple of weeks earlier or later.
Fact is: if you order specific models now and one month later, that specific model gets a 40-50 HP power jump, you'll be not only sorry but also pretty much p.ss.d off I guess.

Your letter will document the desire to cancel. Stop at that.
Get your money and wait until the LCI is out. Make no commitment to them.

Then go south and north for the best price and only then return.
They will meet your price. Don't let them beat you down.

RTC what about the 5.0 from the X-6...is it replacing the 4.8 for the 2011 LCI??

I agree that "in person" is the best way to deliver this message. As a friend of ours says, "It's all about the relationship." In person you get a read on where the CA is on this without the sales manager's input. I also agree that you don't give up anything until you get something. Good luck. Where did you find the info?

Hey All,
The email has already been sent & I'm good with my CA (as far as I know). Haven't gotten any angry emails or calls...the last one he sent was the one acknowledging production halting in March. I got the info off this and other forums...mainly from the Facelift Pics thread. I also got an email directly from a contact at BMW confirming engines and launch date.
