Sorry for bumping into an old conversation. Have you tried checking the bone positions of the model? Sometimes the position of the bones can affect how the model appears in the game.
You also mentioned that your ""pose"" meshes are in a different place than your ""armature"" positions. It might be worth taking a closer look at this and ensuring everything is aligned correctly. If you look for alternatives, there are many excellent games on this list https://joywallet.com/article/best-money-making-apps/. I hope that helps!

In Massachusetts, a seller cannot impose a transaction fee for a credit card sale. I still see businesses do it though. It's actually against the law. They can impose a limit on the amount of card transactions so it is up to the seller.

https://malegislature.gov/Laws/Gener...40D/Section28A

New York has a similar law but I expect if paying less than MSRP then they could charge the surcharge:

Huge thanks for your huge help, folks. Appreciate it!!! I hope the information you've shared is still relevant. Tbh, I'm happy I'm about to buy a BMW. I've always dreamed of having a BMW car. Tbh all of my classmates dreamed of riding a Mercedes, while I was the only one with a room full of BMW posters. Maybe I was a bit nerdy, but I knew literally everything about any BMW car. I've already managed to take out a car loan having a bad credit history. An article on www.greedyrates.ca helped me. I found a specialist who helped me take out a loan, so I'm about to become a happy owner of a BMW car. Thanks for your help!!

BMW Dealers Charging for Credit Card Use

I am in Newport News VA. There is only one dealer on this side of the water Casey BMW. They charge/add 2% to your bill for using a credit card. Not good dealership so not worth paying them anything extra. Does anyone know a good independent in my are that you would be comfortable recommending for a M5 F10?

Rusnak BMW in Los Angeles just took $5000 deposit on American Express with no transaction fee. $5000 was their limit supposedly. I plan on applying for a new card that has the best bonus the next time I get a new car, with PPF I’ll definitely reach the minimum for the bonus.

Additionally, to improve my credit, I request a CLI with all my card issuers every six months, today I got a limit increase to $35k on my Amex Blue card. When paired with little or no balance it really helps your credit utilization and for the credit bureaus to see you regularly getting approved for limit increases. Although, if the issuer wants to run a hard credit check for the increase, it’s likely not worth it.

Going on 10 years ago....did the downpayment on my Benz E550 using my Merc co-branded Amex. Dealer was fine with it, as long as i covered the like 2.5% transaction fee. $15k down, 5x points per $1 spent at a dealer...worked out quite well.

That just means the dealer was already making a huge profit so they didn't mind paying the A/E fee. IOW, they made out like a bandit.
But as long as you were happy, that's all that matters.

Not to rain on the OP’s parade, but that’s true. They didn’t do that because they’re just such nice guys. Also true, as long as the OP is happy with his deal that’s all that matters.

He didn't buy a BMW on an AmEx, AlisherSk is a spammer with 1 post and his link to Vclub is a malware site. Edit: Post now deleted.



To contribute to this thread, my dealer told me $3000 max, so I used that on a rewards card. That left an additional $8K down payment and I was surprised when they said they would take a debit card -- I thought merchants had to pay transaction fee for debit as well.

Turned out $8K was over my debit card daily charge amount, so the receptionist ran it as credit (salesman was long gone and my wife was sitting in the new BMW waiting to go). Wish I had thought of swapping back to the rewards card, because clearly the person running them didn't know about the dealership limit.

I was told $5k was the limit by New Century, but the manager cleared $6k for a down payment.

I wasn't given a limit at Beverly Hills, but I've gotten several cars from them so they might have made an exception.

No fees for either.

My local dealer has a max. I seem to recall it is $3K.

I totally forgot about doing this to earn rewards. I will give it a try when I pickup my car. I won't get it for a few months but I will update this thread with the dealer name and amount if I remember.
