I had another dealer telling me I could order beforehand, that they would put an order under another name at first or something like that, but I was afraid to risk it. I realize some folks prob ordered before hearing about the event - not really sure what could be done in such cases but the dealer can only do so much since the allowance is from BMW.
I just got my event redemption code email.

When you read the small print it clearly states it's not to be honored on cars ordered before the event.

The fault lies with my CA who wrote it into my sales sheet.

I sent a follow up email to him which states:

"Angel,

FYI, I was sent my information regarding the redemption:

"As a special thank you for your participation, we would like to offer
you a limited-time $1,000 BMW Drive for Team USA Allowance, good toward
the purchase or lease of a new 2012 or 2013 BMW model.*

Your redemption codes for this special offer are: OL12068-00XXXXX /
OL12131-F30XXXX."

I really would like this resolved soon.

I extended my comfort level for the payment agreed to of $(edited)and when
mentioning how I can wait, you said with the $1000 Test Drive Event, it
was the perfect time. Putting $1000 back into my payment as an increase
is simply not an option.

If your hands are tied and BMW corporate is causing the problem, we
will need to be more creative.

Thanks for your efforts,

-Jameson

I am being nice about it.

His manager can make it go away by finding $1000 somewhere else, giving me a build allowance to put back into the car, hell-offer me the more loaded Sport '12 loaner they have for the same payment, or offer me at least $1000 in parts such as wheels, snow tires. etc.

It should not have to get nasty if any of those things are offered.
