One can not reasonably expect corporate headquarters to step in every time there is a dispute.

This problem was worked out between the parties in a reasonable time frame, so what do you want BMWNA to do?

BMWNA needs to get involved here, at least to say they don't condone these shenanigans.
Other manufacturers do step in when the dealer is clearly wrong. I once owned an Eagle Vision that needed a new transmission. I thought it should be covered by the warranty, but the dealer refused to do anything unless I paid $4000. I phoned Chrysler and two days later the stuff hit the fan. Chrysler informed me that a new transmission was on its way and the dealer had been instructed to install it at no charge. They even refunded $450 for air conditioning repairs that I had been improperly charged for. My next vehicle was also a Chrysler product - purchased from a different dealer.

*** UPDATE ***

I've confirmed that my leasing company has wired the money, and that the funds have been received by the dealership. Props to Brandi at ACS Leasing and Ryan Mathis at Husker for their hard work, in making this happen.

So it looks as if we are moving forward.

I'd like to thank everyone who has taken the time to post here. Although I have not been at liberty to post these past few days, I've read all the entries that everyone here has posted. No doubt alot of speculation, but dissenting opinion or not, I appreciate you taking the time to expressing your opinion and interest in my situation.

Also, I'd like to thank the people at Husker Auto Group for their hard work in finalizing the transaction. Alot of people have been caught in the crossfire, and no doubt that this past week has been very taxing on them.

Lastly, I look forward to seeing my car get on the truck for delivery. Believe it or not, this ordeal has been taxing on me as well. As a fellow car enthusiast, I too would like nothing more than the opportunity to appreciate the car for what it is.

Jeff Goman, the local BMW CCA president has offered to take pictures and such, as its prepped for its journey to Los Angeles. Thank you for that.
Currently, we are set to ship out on 4/2, arrival here in LA on 4/9.
I need to contact Phillipe over at South Bay BMW, to make sure the logistics are OK. I'll update again when I have more information.

Thanks again,

Ken

Which means they are the ones who reap the benefit of this deal.

They don't care what your purchase price is.. your "rent" will be lower but your residual is still the same, since it's based of MSRP. Ken wins, not the leasing company.
