Or the time that you invited to come into the dealership on a specific day, you walk into the dealership, there’s nobody at reception and everybody ignores you.
I shouldn’t be begging to buy a car ffs.
It’s nothing but a complete shambles. Totally embarrassing.

And now the person dealing with my issue has gone away on holiday for a fortnight and the issue hasn’t been handed over to anybody else to deal with.
Just stinks of a dealer mess up cover up.

That’s exactly what happened to me in Harry Fairburn, Glasgow. I asked to speak to the Head of the dealership as I was leaving. Pointed out I’d been in their premises for 52 minutes and no one had even spoken to me except the guy who sod hello as we were getting BACK into our car. It was him I asked if the boss was in.
Boss appeared and I got the “really sorry” “what can we do to make it up to you” patter. I said you can do nothing, I’m going to Edinburgh in the morning and if I like the test drive I’ll be ordering one. He said that if we liked it, phone him and he’d beat their deal by at least £500. I feel I may have saved the £500 but ended up in a position something like yours, I don’t feel it would’ve gone smoothly

Utterly utterly miserable situation for something that was meant to bring a bit of joy. (My partner has MS, had a stroke and other resulting medical complexities that has left her with limited mobility. This was meant to be a way of getting her out the house, having the roof down and getting her outside in the country)
It’s been nothing but utter misery.
I’m resenting the whole thing.

Again, just more ammo.
I'd be bullet pointing everything, printing it out, and showing it to the dealer principal and ask them just how embarrassed they are over this series of monumental cock ups. I'd be asking for an expedited slot, an agreed delivery date and compensation either monetary or future servicing etc.
Abstinence is fine, in moderation.

I'd be up in court I think.Argyll Andy wrote: ↑Sat Jul 23, 2022 10:58 amAt a very rough guess, I’d likely be banned from this dealer by now

I haven’t got time for court on top of everything else too!
I think I’ve learned my lesson though. No more BMW. A dominatrix is cheaper* if I wanted to get ****ed to this extent.

That’s not the service you would expect from a more Update Brand - i think you’ve been more than patient
I think you should only talk to the Dealer Principal.
The minions will do nothing other than cover their own backsides.

If you get nowhere, cancel the order and buy an ex demo. There are plenty out there most likely with the spec you want without all the hassle.
Will save you a few quid too. I would never ever buy new.

There aren’t many about and frankly the savings on an ex demo aren’t great.

Just been reading all the problems you’ve been having. Really is awful.
Speak to bmw U.K. you have to. They can give you a big deposit contribution to the car and the dealer can also contribute more to the replacement car.
From past experience, between bmw U.K, finance and the dealership they can knock off around 20k from the price.
Keep is posted and good luck.

Indeed - there's been a price increase since I ordered... which means there are no savings on ex demo. And that's if I can find one in the spec I want. I ordered because I wanted what I wanted.
