or given you a pink cadillac.

I'm so sad to hear your company has forced you to accept this vehicle ... I suggest you storm into the office and refuse to accept your paycheck ... That will show them who's boss

Boy, they sure left you with a lot of gas!

I hope you have a gas station within 2 miles of your location.

I believe what he is implying when he says that he did not get what we requested from "them" meaning he is an employee of BMWNA?

Since bmwfan works for BMW, they give him a car. In the past he was able to order a car to his specifications. Now he gets whatever is available.

Most of the time, you get whatever you order. However, here lately BMWNA had been modifying orders to specs that they want us to have.
That is not excepted at least not without a 15% discount.

Seems that you guys buy a lot of BMW's, so what the f**k
is going on with your dealer?

Very nice cars, though.

Edit: As you are a BMW worker, it may explain some of the story,
but why go against your employer?
