Do dealers sometimes sell custom ordered vehicles to other customers because they can make more profit? (e.g., some customers may be okay with less discount)

The only process that took place between me and the dealership/BMW is credit application. I believe this is a proof that the vehicle will be sold to me, but it is not technically an agreement..

The reason I am asking is that the sales manager who placed my order is difficult to get in touch with. I am getting to a point where I doubt if he wants to sell this vehicle to me or anybody else.

If someone could walk me through the general procedure, it would be appreciated. Thanks!
i didn't put a deposit in too, i was preparing to give something they simply didn't want it
