No. Our tour guide at BMW's M Studio knew about this story. We got off track somewhat and started to talking about the 1M and US dealer price gouging... and this PDI story came up. He knew of the story and what had happened to the techs. |

Glendale is the worst place to buy cars from my experience.... All dealers have bad deals, bad customer service, and now proven bad techs.

well, from my opinion, they did not do anything and allows the car to be sold and more story is coming up and the whole reputation is not about the Pacific BMW only now. It's time to see what BMW NA will act on this.

Good those bums got fired. It's EXTREMELY obvious by the tone of voice, lack of responsibility, and accents that this is Glendale. Did not need any "detective" work whatsoever. Only in Glendale would something like this happen. Hopefully this has been said in the 15 pages of this thread... I'm late to the party and didn't read all of it.

Pacific is the worst dealership I have ever felt with. I was in a couple months ago and I was in a suit and tie after work and no one would even talk to me. No "can I help you" or anything. and the 1m I was looking at was 40,000 over sticker. I hope the dealer gets what is coming to them.

SOME ADDITIONAL HUMOR TO THIS THREAD
There is amother thread (http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showthread.php?t=582973) where a member asked "where did all the DEMO 1m's go "????? This was the best answer ever !!!!! Quote: Originally Posted by DriveHard BMW rolls the mileage back on all of them, replace the tires / brakes / mats / and sells them as new.... didnt you know that ?????? And they all get sold through Pacific BMW. At a markup.... credit to tkbrOwn for the last half of that quote....

I don't even have a 1m but this is a great thread! Justice to be served very soon! I would definitely not be happy if it were my car!

I just came across this thread and agreed that those fools deserved what's coming to them.
Pacific BMW is probably the worst among all SoCal dealerships, across the board lol I have never been there, and don't plan on even calling them.

Looks like their chances of working at another dealership just took a nose dive. This reminds me of the kids that shot up people with paintball guns and recorded it.

Well it's not like they had much real proof of how fast they were actually going from that video, it's not like you see the speedometer or the tachometer in the video... I suspect if they had gotten a lawyer they could have beaten the charge (not a good precedent of getting some kind of speeding fine just from a video on youtube if you ask me), but that would have probably cost them more than $150.
Also quite disturbing that they BOTH got fined while obviously one (taking the video) was just a passenger. Would they be able claim that as a precedent for giving a speeding fine to all the people in a speeding car? |
