When I confronted my sales rep he said he would look into it only to come back and tell me he had made a mistake and I was indeed #3, but he was "working hard" to move me up.
In both instances I had a deposit down and it was signed by the sales manager. This is common practice for a lot of car salesman, regardless of brand. They will juggle allocations around and if they can sell it to someone else for more $$$ they will.

You are spot on here, that is 100% correct. I know there are some good car salesmen on here, so obviously no offense to them, but from my experience, dealerships are the lest trustworthy people on earth. I will not hold my breath for myself actually being #2 on the list. Maybe having bought 2 M2s from the dealership may help, but I would not be surprised if they bumped me down cause someone else comes forward offering to pay $5-10k over MSRP.
