a friend of mine had his 04 lexus sc serviced recently, and according to him for about $1000 - $1500 (depending on the damage), they basically go thru and fix and touch-up all the minor nicks, scratches, chips, and/ or dings on your car in just a day or two. and, he was very happy w/ the...

that said, bmw dealerships in general are snobby. i recall when i was shopping for my car back in 98, some dealership sales totally made eye contact and then proceeded to ignored me altogether... probably 'cuz i also looked young and didn't look like i could afford a car? <lol> sucks that...

customers should always be treated politely and respectfully regardless of their age, sex, race, or what not. so, it sounds like this dealership could use some major brush-up lessons in customer service. i would speak to their service dept manager, if u feel strongly enough about this...

i've seen the unit skipping not detecting the magazine correctly... are u positive u aligned the magazine correctly before inserting it, and did u check that the cable is firmly connected to the unit?

if ur going to drift w/ the m3, make sure to tell urself to B(ring)M(y)W(allet) when it comes time to get new tires. 'cuz those mich's are expensive. kekekekeke

leather definitely looks & smells nicer when the car is new. and, it's easy to clean. a friend of mine has 98 318i with black leatherette. and, the interior of that car seems to age better- ie the seats show less wrinkles and seem to stay firmer. (i have gray leather in mine.) but, it...

now, there's one single good use i can think of for ambulance-chasing lawyers: suing co's like jiffy lube. may they both rot in hell.

actually, the best choice for you depends on (1) your budget and (2) your lifestyle. if you are a modest/ conservative driver and plan to use the car primarily for commuting, then the performance gains of the 330 may not be necessary. the 325 has ample power to get you around without feeling...

what's zhp stand for? and, since when did going from a sedan to an suv become practical? <lol> j/k... just giving u a hard time... congrats on the new ride and yah- post some pics and new car impressions soon...

thanks for the photos! am liking the overall shape & aesthetics of the car, even tho it looks narrower & less muscular than the current model. the front grill looks meaner & distinguished from the current 3, for sure... BUT, take a look at this photo... QUESTION: Is this REALLY the new bmw...

have they released estimated street prices yet for the u.s. market?

there is a brake sensor cable that you have to replace as well, i believe. when the brake pads get worn down, the cable is designed to break, thereby triggering the warning light on the dash. so, u have to replace both the brake pad and the sensor cable, which i believe is a bmw-only part- ie...

that happened to my 99 323i also... i'm not sure if the 745 Li also uses the same brake pad sensor cable mechanism. but, in my case, when i got my car back from my service place, i noticed this and drove back to have them check it. and, said after they re-checked all the connections for the...

welcome aboard and congrats on the new car. some friends told me that this vendor is good, tho i've never bought anything from them myself: http://www.bavauto.com/

<lol> we need this kind of thread for entertainment and for a good laugh! :D

AAA magazine did an article on leasing vs. purchasing. and, yah- like dye says- it pretty much comes down to your lifestyle. if u plan to own it for 5+ years, buying is the way they say to go. u pay the car off in 3-5 years, and get to enjoy the benefits of no longer having a car payment plus...

yah, that's the black plastic key i was referring to =) great to hear u got it resolved.

what model car do u have? sorry to hear this happened and hope u get it resolved ok. (sounds like overnighting them a key's probably the lesser of all evils.) for reference, on 99 & newer models, bmw provided a plastic, cabin entry key. it's flat & small enough to put inside your wallet or...

Congrats on the new car. I have 82K+ on my 99 323i and it's still humming along. I think I checked the blue book on mine a year or so ago and it was around $15k. so, I think you got a good deal. :)
