90K base about 95K with everything left.

My dealer when he took my 10K deposit figured 96K so I think I am under quoted at this point.

I am looking forward to this car as much as my first M3. I have my 545 and M3 to keep me company till then but damn if I don't want that car now!

Normally it would be 500....but I jumped 23 other names with that size deposit and I am number 2 on the list...behind someone he pre-paid in full.

Why would I want a refund? The whole point of placing a deposit is that you want to buy the car....but I am sure my dealer who has sold me almost half million dollars worth of cars would give me back my money if I desired.

As far as being bumped down...anything is possible....but 1&2 are allocated for the the dealerships first month of 2 cars, I have that in writing.

What about if they are not giving you the 2nd car on the list in reality? What can you do?
