Thanks for all the advice and support, I have approached the sales manager and he is working out a deal for me... but so far has offered this in compensation:
1. BMW M drive day for my wife and I
2. Free car protection kit. Including security window tint, leather and upholstery protection and paint protection.
3. Free rubber mats.
4. Extended registration for 6 months.
I am able to rescind the contract and the sales manager personally will attend to my purchase and has promised me a good deal. We will wait and see.

my thoughts:
ad 1. ok any delaer can do that for promo, but nice of him
ad 2. security window foils he ment, around max. 700$ or you tell me... paint protection of BMW? that is "bogous"
ad 3.
come on you should get the velour ones ad 4. if that is good for you. reg? not warranty...
and still you have no TV right??? Do you need the TV??? If not then ok you are IMO still short of what they offered you (how much is TV in USA...?) so still ask a free aux-in with install of course
you may try Ipod but they will not do it,I would push it till the end to get all as they shall be happy if you decide to get the car
LoLgood thinking and post the pics if you settled the deal

Thank you for the compliment. I will have some hartge parts as I am an authorised dealer for australia. I am also authorised for breyton, but their sales service is not as good as hartge.
Thanks for the advice.

congrats mate so you will have some nice Hartge things on?
Maybe a mixture of both Gpower and Hartge? Gpower badge in front, and hartge badge at the back?
kidding... Gpower offer a supercharger kit for my vehicle which is very tempting...
I will be going back to the sales manager on Monday and demanding that they meet the contract as close as possible so I would want a TV. They offer in their accessories department an alpine in car entertainment system, which can take mp3, DVD, TV. So should make up for the loss of the TV and it will put the contract into what it was before. Wish me the best and lets hope the sales manager will agree.

I really don't know whether to laugh or to cry... how many times can an organisation representing BMW drop the ball?
Today I called the parts department to see what their retrofit DVD/TV system is like. The parts guy told me that I could only get monitors fitted to the rear of the front seat head rests.. when I enquired as to whether I could get a monitor up front, the parts guy said to me what do you need a TV up front for isn't that what your lounge is for?
I really now don't know what to think about this. Canceling the contract will be too easy for them now. I now want them to feel some pain!!!!grrrr.. they need to be taught a lesson!

this is not fun for me, I am now basically arguing on principle...
If you want to get back at him, buy your car elsewhere and drive it to them to get something that is either very cheap or free. Just to show them that they missed on a car sale deal

After all this shit, I would have left the dealer and give him the finger. This is a dealer who can't be thrusted, and you probabely never will.
