In may of this year my bmw dealer pursued with me to give him a order for a z8,or he would lose his allocation for the one car he would be able to get. He told me it would be a good investment as they were selling into the states and I would be able to make a good profit on the car. I signed a contract gave him a deposit and proceeded to wait for the car after the same delays many of the readers have experienced we were advised the car was in port and could be delivered only after we signed a non-export agreement which has a minimum penalty of 30k should we choose to export. turns out BMW and or the dealer decided after the fact to change the rules so off to court we go. ps for all you die hards I drive BMWs and have a 740il and a 328 cab in the garage this z8 was bought as a investment and I refuse to be pushed around by these scoundrels. Any similar experiences would be of interest to me.
