I just placed my order for a 6MT Alpine white M3, here in Toronto.
Dealer calls me and tells me that BMW Canada is claiming they cannot process my order. Seems that I can't get Piano black trim. After much ado, he confirms that ONLY aluminum blade or anthracite trim are available. No matter that I am wiling to pay for it.
No explanation from the dealer other than it's coming from BMW Canada.
To top it off...he didn't have Aluminium blade for me to see in real life. I had to come on this forum to see how IMHO it's quite ugly.
Anybody have a similar experience ? I was also told that the factory in Germany was shutting down for retooling or something in August, and as such July production was the last for this summer.

Insights?
