I was told (pre-2016) that dealers didn't like to handle an ED because it was more paperwork for the same or less money. I'm sure that got only worse since then. I, too,was looking forward to ordering my next car (M2C) and picking it up via ED next year but that's out the window. Maybe it will come back in a few years but I'm not sure I'll want any of their cars by then to be honest.
The bickering that's ensued in this thread is annoying but doesn't surprise me given who the protagonist is. I hate how some members always have to take the devil's advocate/minority side of the argument relentlessly. It makes me not look forward to reading the commentary sometimes because it's too predictable what will end up happening.

....So in short, only one viewpoint should be tolerated? That only sounds reasonable to you because you aren't the minority on this particular issue. The moment you are it becomes a different story altogether. Balance in any discussion is the key to constructive discourse. |
Being in the minority opinion and voicing that is fine. There is nothing wrong with that. But when that minority point is taken consistently across multiple threads and used to berate others it's no longer a discussion but a soapbox which is used to incite antagonism.
Also news flash, were all in the minority being on a forum discussing BMWs. |
Well you have to admit that it's the nature of forums to act as soapboxes for complainers, so in many cases it almost forces people to present the opposing argument/perspective just to add balance. If nobody provided counter arguments then many of the threads would be nothing but a bunch of negativity, and there's nothing constructive about that.
