This all reminds me of a long-time buddy of mine who went to a BMW dealer to order the E46 M3 when it was announced. He spec'd it out with manual, cloth seats, no sunroof. No options at all. The dealer flat out would not order it for him. They were worried he'd bail on the sale and they'd be left with a stripper M3 they couldn't sell. I'd have to ask him the specifics but he had to put down a huge non-refundable deposit for them to place the order.
And now that m3 spec that way is worth good money
