It looks like I will have to order my E90 because no one appears to have exactly what I want. Since I've never ordered a car before, I have a couple of questions--I will negotiate a purchase price prior to the order. Do the dealers have a form or standard contract in which we agree in writing to the price? I don't want the price to magically change when the car gets here. Also, what is the reasonable deposit amount?
Also, for those of you leasing, did you have to pay an acquisition fee and a securty deposit?
Thanks

I signed a price contract when I ordered my car. The deposit was $1000. I'm pretty sure if the car showed up and you decided not to buy it, you would probably loose the grand.

$1k refundable deposit
i believe i signed something regarding the price, but it's been awhile
but you can always turn the car down when it arrives, and i believe the deposit is mandated to be refundable

Deposits are refundable in the US by law.

You definitely want to negotiate the final price before you order and make sure you and your salesperson sign off on the sheet. That way there is no question when the car arrives. You dont want to get into the "Gee.. what was the price that we talked about for your car again?" And then the salesperson tacks on another $1000 to what you negotitated when the car arrives. Ask me how I know 
Typically, I think you have to put down a minimum of $500, but most ask for $1000.

When you order, you should have an order forms signed by you and the SALES MANAGER. Complete with final price, etc. If the car allocation is already available, it should also have the production number, which is how you track it. And I would ask for a copy of the production coding sheet showing what exactly was ordered and the production code (it should be changed to indicate that the car is customer ordered, which has a higher priority than dealer orders cars for stock).
