I want to buy a BMW that is expected to arrive at the dealer's store by the end of the month. I will also have to put down a 20-50% deposit for the car probably. However, I do not want to go around chasing the car dealer if the car is delayed or if it differs from the specifiaction list (e.g. options, extras...) Should I draft up some kind of an agreement and have the dealer sign it e.g. somethng with penalty clauses...I am no lawyer but maybe I can do a good job of it?
By the way, I thought BMW is also manufactured in the USA, no?

IF YOU ARE LUCK TO GET THE GENERAL MANAGER TO SIGN YOUR PAPERWORK, MY HAT IS OFF TO YOU.
THE EQUIPMENT THAT YOU HAVE ORDERED SHOULD BE ON THE VEHICLE, AT LEAST 99% OF THE TIME IT IS.
AS FOR YOUR DEPOSIT, IF SOMETHING IS WRONG OR MISSING YOU DO HAVE THE OPTION OF HAVING THE DEALER MAKE IT RIGHT FOR YOU, BUT FORGET ABOUT GETTING THE DEPOSIT BACK.
I HAVE SEEN THIS BEFORE AND THE CUSTOMER WILL ALWAYS LOOSE.

Put down a deposit, to hold the car! The dealer already has the invoice, so the equipment will be correct!
If there is a problem or the car does not arrive, you can get your money back! If you are worried, but a small deposit on your credit card! If needed you can dispute the charge with the credit card company!

If the car is in high demand you won't have an inch to negotiate. Since there will plenty more buyers waiting in line behind you.
There is no way a salesman or a representative from the dealer is going to sign anything your draft in the form of an agreement.
You have tow choices. Buy the car as it is when it arrives or wait for another one to arrive later.
