My salesman called me!

I just couldn't go for that - YoYoMa is not my taste.

It's a BMW dealership not a niteclub.

I call BS, Beverly Hills BMW was horrible when I was trying to buy my 135.

Speaking of Beverly Hills BMW :

They never responded to my request for a on-line quote for my E92 with exact options I wanted. I just kept receiving an e-mail from a different salesman every other day saying they have received my request and are working on it and I should hear back from them soon. They never forwarded me a quote and never responded to my request to talk directly to their on-line sales manager.

I ordered my car through Center BMW in Sherman Oaks and dealt with their on-line sales manger directly from day one. For about a year or so after I received my car, I still got e-mails every few weeks from various managers at Beverly Hills BMW thanking me for purchasing my car from them and for being a loyal customer.

Talk about a F'd up sales management crew

...but they don't need to be responsive and competitive because of who they are and where they are located.

Sounds good. All four times.

Word, actually i bought my 135 from Center BMW too..online sales guy. I avoided Bev BMW at all costs for buying, but i service it there since it's close and i get happy endings and whatnot.

Beverly Hills BMW and Santa Monica BMW should be avoided at all costs, IMO.

This is just based on my personal experience ...."Happy Ending" or not (which was never promised to me - Nor received!

)

I actually had a pretty good experience at SMBMW....

Though I did 99% of everything over email/phone so didn't even go in there until I needed to sign the paperwork the day I picked up my car. I highly recommend going this route the next time you buy. Much less of a PITA.

Then you get a happy ending and you ride off into the sunset and everyone waves you goodbye from the BMW dealership.

I took my E46 M3 to Beverly Hills BMW for service. I received no loaner and got a shuttle ride back to work in a van driven by a cranky old man who was speaking Polish. He actually turned out be cool, he was just crabby.

Santa Barbara BMW, however, is a different story. Once I arrived they wrote my service info up and had me out the door in a loaner in 5 minutes. They were very efficient, friendly, etc. My loaner was a nice, clean 328i that drove like new. The only down side to SB BMW is that their service department is closed on Saturdays.

In Seoul, the local bmw dealership would pick up my mother-in-law's e60 530i from her home, complete the service, then drop it off. I'm sure they don't do it for everyone, just their best customers.

So it looks like japan does have the best service. No man-love happy ending service for us in Korea.
