Thats the only good thing about her messing up my order!
Well, I hope you're not complaining about having to own a Space Gery 535 for a few months before making your next selection. May not be your first choice, but it don't suck!

Naah .. was just looking forward to the Green. Something different, but they all ride the same.

Now hold on a second! I always thought that the Alpine White ones were the fastest and best-handling...are you sure?

YEA I AGREE! I have talked to other employees who have the same vehicle rep as i do and the same has been happening to them as well. I dont think she knows what she's doing pretty much.
Or maybe she does know what she is doing and just wants BMW to be able to sell the car.....
(I have to suspect that the Green color kills resale....)

I love space gray and I hope you will like it either. Anyway I would use their mistakes to get some extra discount or other benefits from them (some nice set of 20" rims would compensate this mistake pretty good ). Rather look for another dealer in the future, since when they are not able to make the order right, I am not sure how it is about their service.
