Put down deposit feel duped!

Went to Vista BMW in Ft. Lauderdale to purchase the 335 Coupe, gave the sales guy a $1000 deposit for June delivery.
After thinking about it for a day and seeing the Geneva pictures on the M3, called the guy back to cancel the 335 transaction and told him to keep the deposit for an M3.
I have not recieved anything in writing from the dealer to reflect the changes made and when I took my MINI in for service last week, I asked the sales guy about getting locked in at MSRP, his reply was "at this point we think the M3 will not arrive in our showrooms before 2008 the earliest and if the prices follow the M5 or M6 trend we will see huge mark ups."
Not too reassuring.....I have no clue in legality of placing a deposit and getting locked into a price or if the dealer refuses, the possibility of getting my deposit back and going to another dealer. Any information to clarify things would be greatly appreciated.
