Brian Jessel BMW

yooooooo · 06-25-2009, 12:20 PM

hey guys, a coworker of mine bought in 325ci for service at Brian Jessel, and upon getting the car back, he noticed they changed his "THE BMW STORE" plate frame to a "Brian Jessel BMW" license plate frame. lol

thought it was kinda funny. i told him at least he didn't get the Brian Jessel sticker !!

any of you guys got similar stories?

haha yea i got the same thing, my car was originally from burrard acura and I take my car in for service at bj bmw and they changed my plates as well

alanchan · 06-25-2009, 12:26 PM

why they do that without asking the owner?
what a dumb marketing approach
giving people free plate holder, why not give them cash or coupons?

perfectg · 06-25-2009, 12:27 PM

they did that when i bought my car. i got day permit to drive it back. they put two on the car and gave 2 more in the trunk

that's stupid!

I've got a nice collection of BJ BMW plate frames now. I just change it back to my Parkshore BMW ones every time they do it since they put the old one in the trunk.

I'm not sure what I'm going to do with all my BJ BMW frames now ... maybe one day I will have enough to finally get a BMW loaner when I go in for service.

ya that happend to my buddy who drives an audi TT

dropped his car off at his mechanic and leaves with a brand new plate frame haha

First thing I do is remove all stickers and license plate frames when I get a new car. I tell them that if they want me to advertise for them, it will cost -- like those cars with vinyl ads on them.

Wow, that's pretty sneaky of them!

When I bought my cars from them, I always specified licence plate frames are ok, but no stickers.

That would doubly piss me off if I was the owner b/c the Store ones are way nicer. Aren't they the clear plastic that protect the plate too, not just a frame?

using Vorsteiner CF frame...they wouldn't dare to touch it
