That heavily depends on where you go and the area. Not the same as a car, but when I went to get the check for the down payment on my home (which was 6 figures), I went to my bank which happened to be in a pretty upscale neighborhood were houses were significantly more expensive on average than what I was buying.

So when I asked the teller to give me a multi-hundred-thousand dollar check, they didn't even blink. "Please enter your pin number sir. There you go sir, have a nice day".

I assume this is very similar. A place selling BMWs is probably used to seeing newly minted millionaires on a daily basis.



It's weird getting big checks if you aren't used to it. I had some money coming out from a home sale and got a cashier's check for 50k or something. They asked for ID and checked it very slowly, but nothing past that.
