3K deposit for securing a M3?
So, I am working with this dealer to get a 2016 M3 European Delivery.
He has allocation and we have agreed on the price. But the dealership wants a 3K deposit to secure the allocation for me. Does this sound normal ? I've previously done 1k deposits, but this is my first M.

First, Rockville only asked $1k deposit from me.
Second, they were the cheapest deal around.

I will say they were the best deal around but I opted for a slightly higher deal at a different dealer because of the overall bad experience. Customer service factors in a lot for me.

That's too bad. I had a perfect experience with them. 10/10. Every single person I interacted with treated me well.
I also appreciate good customer service. I regularly walk out of my way to a further Starbucks because the one in my building has bad customer service.

So far I've had a hell of a time getting anybody with allocation to give me a decent deal. A few even asked for MSRP :-o. So far no one with allocation has come close to the EU Invoice + 1500 mark and I am even offering the doc fee on top of that.

The only place in NOVA that would not do a ED was BMW of Fairfax. They insisted you can't do one on a pull ahead program.
