Sometimes the cars end up on auction for one reason or another, and a BMW dealer actually grabs them. Not sure why / how. There is another dealer in IL (Patrick in Schaumburg, close to Chicago) that seems to have a load of 1 year old Z4's every now and then. When you do a title search you can see that they were bought at an auction. I guess what I am saying is that anybody could have bought a perfectly good car at an auction -- BMW dealer or not -- and buying a used car at a BMW dealership is no guarantee for everything being perfect. Z4's aren't plentiful ... I did buy mine from a dealer who always seems to have a couple on the lot (instead of just 1 "halo car" in the showroom) hoping that they have at least some experience with the car for after-sale support.
If you need financing, it probably makes the most difference there. I doubt BMWFS is available through non-BMW dealers.
