Should I let the dealer prep my new 135i?
Hi guys,
I was just wondering if I should let the dealer prep/detail my 135i when it comes in. I have read some other posts and some recommend to not let the dealer do anything, and do it yourself or have it done professionally. I just dont want the dealer to leave any swirl marks etc. I am planning to have a clear bra put on the car if that matters at all. Also, I wanted to start detailing myself (I've been trying to read on technique and products, but there is SO much info its overwhelming), but is it risky starting off on a brand new car? Thanks, Chris |

If you know people that have bought cars at that dealership before, ask them. Most dealers know how to properly deliver a car.
My dealer delivered my Jet Black 325Ci. And JB shows everything. It looked perfect. I have no worries when my 1er finally arrives. |

A good BMW dealership will deliver you a good BMW -- in perfect condition. With its upscale clientele, it would be business suicide to do otherwise.

cdub, if you want perfect paint, ask for a tour of their prep area. If they're using a cloth automatic car wash, go the DIY route - lots of info on the web and here on how. DIY is a lot easier when you're not trying to fix a problem. |

Thanks guys, alot of good info here. Its good to get feedback so I know the pros/ cons of having the dealer prep the car. I'm not sure if its been posted here, but here's a link suggesting why/how to prep the car yourself. There is a lot of good info.
