Funny thats what they did to me at the Audi dealership. I had a 97 explorer and gotten my first expensive suit [worth more than my car] and strolled in and asked to sit in an R8. They said no, so I asked to see the GM, showed him my bank account walked across the street started buying BMWS lol.
I will say going to a dealership now in the R8 seems to command a certain level of respect and treatment, that I've not seen with even my most expensive M's or the GTR.

BMW Rockville has gutted the management I used to work with for 10+ purchases, and it drove me away from trying an i8 for a second time around to getting an R8, albeit from a BMW dealer in Virginia [Sterling]. Very happy with the service I got there..
Thankfully being in the D.C. area and stiff competition the dealerships have to kinda be on-top of their game, with so many BMW dealerships within a 20-75 mile radius.
