You should have them pay to replace every window with OEM parts. It's really a shady thing they did and the number is quite big. I expected it to be much smaller. If they don't pay for this then you should still take the car. In the long run you will end up forgetting about it.

This happened in November of 2019. Everyone has moved on. He ordered a different M5 from a competing dealer.

I would take the car. I know it sucks but you've waited this long.

I saw the green in person and it wasn't for me. They had a red M5 there which intrigued me for about 5 seconds till I realized how much of an attention magnet it would be lol

enjoy your M5C!

It's my first time getting a M car that isn't white so it's definitely a leap of faith for me. I fell in love with this green when I saw it in person. A healthy discount on the price helped too! The dealership is debadging the car for me; stickers, the M5 Comp sign, etc. I'll post pics when I pick it up. Can't wait!

Yes it's a stunning color but you are right I'd be in jail all the time lol

The green is starting to grow on me it's reminding me of my parents first Volvo 850 which was light teal and I loved it!

Definitely post pics in the sunlight!

What kind of deal did you get on it?

I’m happy you took delivery of a car you’re happy with. I can be quite particular about things from time to time and the etching would have driven me nuts. Enjoy your M5C.

Just got through this whole thread. That’s crazy to me that the dealer or BMW NA didn’t at least offer to replace the windows. Love the color of the car you ended up with. Thanks for sharing the story.

I remembered this thread when I was shopping and avoided Open Road like The Plague....Had a nice experience at Circle in Eatontown....A bit of a hike from Manhattan, but I don't expect a lot of dealership time with my car.

One way to avoid dealer tricks like this is to do Performance Delivery. That way the dealer never touches the car.
