what "contract"?

99.9% of cars are ordered without a signed and binding contract, just FYI.

Just saying you would be one of the 0.1 percenters.

Lots of us left deposits, very common. 99.9% of which were refundable if we changed our mind, or the dealer jerked us around with slipping delivery schedules.

If you did sign a contract does it have any performance clauses on the part of the dealer? Like they need to give me the car by December or I can get a refund, or is it just open ended, they can take however long they want?

Anyway, I tend to look at what can go wrong- and not count on everything going right...occupational hazard.

Hey man, There was a pink sales/ build sheet that every customer has to sign in the bottom right corner when buying a car. It is not a contract. It is just signing that you left a deposit and agree with the terms. . If you would like, i can get you in touch with my sales rep at rallye BMW where I bought the truck and maybe he can explain how the sale happens.

For me.
1.) I built the car online and hand my rep the build printout from bmwusa.com
Told him this is exactly what I want
2.) we negotiated pricing and agreed on pricing
3.) I filled out the personal credit application from bmwfs. And signed the 2nd page section d.
4.) got approved than he filled out the build order form and I left a 1000 deposit and also signed the bottom right hand corner to make sure everything was what I wanted and to verify the deal is ready to be sent to production. Does that make me the one percent?

Ps- not trying to be aggressive or confrontational in my reply but it seems you were questioning the validity of my purchase.

Just called the production build status number and vehicle is already in production. Scheduled completion date of October 19th. 8 days away. Is it just me or does that seem really fast? Lol I am excited though!

He's not questioning the validity of your purchase, he's asking if you signed anything binding that would prohibit you from walking away from the deal if anything was not to your liking when the car arrives.

Everyone is just trying to help you.

No I definitely didn't sign anything binding. And I know everyone is trying to help. That is why I have been thanking everyone emphatically for the last 3 days in these threads. Even the title of the thread has me thanking everyone. Lol but I definitely misunderstood what you meant ARD. Thank you for your concern with a contract I definitely didn't have anything binding. I guess by signing a contract I just meant the build order form and credit application. Definitely nothing binding. Sorry for the confusion and any overly aggressive response. My apologies.

No worries at all. I was just trying to get to the root of the issue: is there a legally binding agreement or not.

Seems like the answer is "no"- so you are back in the 99.9%

It is hard for folks to grasp that this process is actual informal and non-binding in the end.

Great that it is moving along so quickly...

LOL Dude I was JUST thinking that earlier today. my car is in production for barely 2 days and I have this weird feeling. Is it agony? haha Not physical agony but pain-stakingly slow impatience. Like needing to be at a wedding at 8pm, but being stuck in traffic for 3 hours missing the party. That feeling where you are so peturbed that you wanna scream, but instead you choose to just bite your tongue and move along with your day. haha Yes. It is THAT bad.

Can I be a loser and admit to calling the bmw build production status 800 number 3 times today even though I knew the status was on production and wouldnt change at al?? LOL LOSER ALERT!
