A little birdie says:

BMW of North America is giving their dealers a $500 incentive on all unsold V8s that are undelivered due to the DME problem. It is up to the dealers to decide what to do with the $500 as they are not required to give it to the customers who are still waiting for delivery of their new E60.? BMW NA is suggesting that the dealers use the money to give everyone with the DME problem a free detail and fill-up of gas.

Is this information accurate?
my 545i is uspposed to be delivered tomorrow and I am asking the dealer to install new wheels and tires for me that I bought.
I am wondering if he should charge me for the install since I have been waiting for 4 weeks to get my car??

They should be giving $500 to customers forced to wait for their vehicles.

Right...so people in this situation should discuss this with their dealer.

You know that's is going into the "Super Special Paint Maintenence Coating" ... that costs exactly $500... translation.. you get a $500 wax..... as the dealer already details the car and fills it up with gas upon delivery to the customer no??

If I read you correctly, you are stating unsold units. That would mean vehicles where no customer is waiting. Taking this literally, my car would not qualify.

BMWNA is easing the dealers' pain of having extra old stock to unload.
