I was not required to make a deposit at this point. Seems strange that with a willing buyer, checkbook in hand, they can't seem to get a car ordered. Maybe I don't fully understand the "allocation process".
Where in SC are you? My parents are in the Myrtle Beach area, and there isn't much competition, and i've been to that dealer before when i've been in town and needed service and they are far from helpful.

Maybe its an issue of low competition and low demand in your area, and thus less allocations compared to other dealers

Here in NJ competition is fierce. It is not uncommon to get 8-12% off MSRP before BMW NA incentives on a priority 1 order.
