I know 3200 off is alot but they will send me counter offer since my original offer is $2000 off + $500 addition if I pick up the car today. $3200 off is not too far and I add more package on the car make the % off not really big change.

HAHA I want to say "FUXK ME" there is a 2013 335i offer from BMW which I like.
I send them my offer and will pick up the 335i if they refuse.
I will let everyone know which Mini dealership I ordered from for reference if they refuse my offer.
I would say my offer is reasonable:
original 7% off MSRP + additional $1250 off which I deserve (I added additional package on my new order since I don't want them loss too much money)

P.S. they told me the Recaro seats cost them $4K+ to install. (coupe S only need 2 seats.) LOL I can get a porsche 911 seat for less than this price on ebay or some website.
what you're asking is completely unreasonable. there's no reason why you should get that big of a discount, especially since the dealership is offering you options to make it right. you can have the car you want, exactly as you want it, it will just take time and they are offering you a loaner. the car that's sitting on the lot is less than what your expected msrp was since it doesn't have the jcw package, so $500 off that isn't too bad.

as for the recaro seats, your dealer is not ordering parts off ebay, nor are they ordering parts from a Porsche. they are ordering directly from mini. the seats are a 3k option when placing an order, so going in half with you to get them isn't a bad deal.

have fun in the 335 because the dealer is not going to go for that deal, they would loose way too much money. yes they made a mistake, and they are trying to fix it, however that does not give you cause to expect them to loose money on a car simply to make you happy because it's not going to happen.

Dealership photo. They cheat me $500 turn in key program however, I don't want to argue too much since we call them stealership anyway. People need to make money.

I want the spec I ordered with JCW package only, 6 speed is a must and the color combo. However, Coupe S around my area mostly auto or w/ packages or nono JCW cloth seat. I love the cloth seat so much. My Mini dealership will trade with other dealership if there is one exactly like what I ordered however there is none.
