I've bought two new cars that had to be delivered from other dealers. One I got the same day from about 50 miles away, and my SAAB had do be delivered via truck about 300 miles. It was worth the week's wait for the SAAB, because it was exactly what I wanted as opposed to what they had in stock. In both cases, I bought the car the day I walked in, and they were very helpful about getting the car I wanted even if it wasn't on their lot.
That $1000 deposit thing sounds a little fishy. Either they want to sell you a car or not. I would accept them selling you the car under terms you agree with, but I would not put down $1000 on some vague commitment. If they don't like it, I'm sure there's another dealer out there willing to sell you that very same BMW from that other lot.
