This isn't bad PR for BMW. BMW isn't selling the car. It's the DEALER. The fact is, BMW has no say in this as it's the DEALER who sells the car. BMW will tell the guy -- and did --that much. It's why dealers sell cars and BMW doesn't.
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.
