Going to dealerships for fun

Do you have fun coming to dealerships like Mercedes-Benz and Lexus and debating them how BMW is better?

I hate going to pretty much all car dealerships except Daniels BMW, since they've always been so low pressure to me. But I know what you mean OP, it can be fun to shut down their outrageous sales pitches.

Yes that sounds about as fun as slowly pulling your toe nails out with a pair of pliars!

umm maybe if all the salesmen are tools, but when I worked as a BMW salesman I hated the damn Lexus people telling me how much better their car was I just would think in my head "then why the fuck are you here?" let these people make their living if they have a "sales pitch" let them do it they gotta eat too. just my $.02

i did a couple test drives of the c63 and the is-f while my m3 was on order just to make absolutely sure i wanted the m3. c63's engine was awesome, handling was shitty. i told the salesguy that my e46 325ci handles better, which it did. we argued for a minute, but the buyer always wins. then i went to the lexus dealer across the street and drove the is-f. very boring car. i pretty much told the salesperson that i wasn't interested and walked out. he called me back a couple days later and i just told him that the m3 and c63 are both better cars, and i'm going to stick with the m3.

now, i wish i could have a 6.3 liter high-revving M engine (similar to the c63) with the way it handles. that would be amazing.
