You are absolutely correct about my intentions to special order. And yes, now this makes a bit more sense. But I finally got the good sense to use autotrader.com to identify where these rare birds might be. There turns out to be one 2014 at BMW of Boston (with SportLine no less!) and a few down in the Norwood/Norwell area as well (2013s). So I set up a test drive for Sunday, since I'll be in town anyway for church. Seek and ye shall find indeed.
