Fat chance he'll have getting the dealer to honor the deal. He ought to try to get someone at BMW/NA to help him out...in the interest of PR and customer relations.]]>Mar 23rd 2008 2:00PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/
Now, if the dealer has a history of shady practices, BMW can pull it's dealership or fine it or due something to "correct" this shady behavior but the bidder is SOL in trying to get BMW NA to get him his car.

And as for the Better Business Bureau, well, they are a business too. It's a franchise where they strong arm other business to pay them to shield them from angry customers. They have no power other than to rate the company. The BBB is a joke.]]>Mar 23rd 2008 2:46PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/
Chevy gets bad PR from shady dealers, why wouldn't BMW?]]>Mar 23rd 2008 4:07PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/
It's like when you go to a grocery store and you realized you bought a bag of chips with a hole in it. You don't complain about it to Frito-Lay, you complain about it to the store that you bought it from.]]>Mar 23rd 2008 5:35PMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/Mar 24th 2008 12:04AMhttp://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/http://www.autoblog.com/2008/03/23/bmw-dealer-auctions-new-m3-for-60k-on-ebay-doesnt-want-to-hon/Mar 24th 2008 9:54AM
