I agree, and I mentioned this idea on the first page as well:

A refundable deposit is still not a hard commitment but I think it would be a step further in terms of seeing how serious people are. Just an idea...  |
As long as BMW officially confirms that it'll be offered here, I would be even willing to put a non-refundable deposit.
