I now have a BMW 325i, oxford green.
The whole deal, once I decided on what I wanted to buy (there were three cars, equipped the same, that I wanted to look at--I did all the upfront on the BMW website), I took the car out for the obligatory drive, told the sales rep what I was going to put down (a sizeable chunk), what I did and didn't want added in, that I didn't want to be "up-selled", and if he was cool, he'd have his commission, and we'd all go home happy.
He was cool.
You get a lot of stuffage along with the car. DVD of care and feeding, a bazillion manuals, and apparently, these guys become my bestest friends for the life of the warranty and maintenance. Okay.
So, now I have something that I can not only make the road trip to Seattle in, but would be *fun* to make the road trip to Seattle in...
Posted by lsefton at February 15, 2004 03:58 PMCongrats on the BMW, I'm a big big fan. Just be aware that the maintenence bills can be expensive, I don't know how much your warranty covers, I guess it could depend. But its all in the name of the ultimate driving machine.
Posted by: Stevie at February 16, 2004 10:55 PMWarranty and Maintenance are both set to 100k/5yr. I paid to up the maintnenace to 100k from 50K, since at 60k, there's a bunch of stuff to be done. It's full coverage--I lose a pinlight, and it gets fixed.
I am seriously not used to this sort of treatment, but I can certainly get used to it....
