2 days ago the black car was in the showroom, today it was gone. Maybe its been sold?

Idiots. Unfortunately it's not unexpected from those techs at Pacific BMW. I can't imagine why anyone would go there. How stupid.

It hit the papers

If that was your car, what would you do? Make them give you an impossible-to-obtain allocation for a new one?

VERY NICE their home town paper!

Wish the owner of this dealership would notice that its not only their tech division that's of poor quality.

Nonetheless Wow very impressed with this

I wonder how long it will take until everyone stops calling it an M1. (Newspaper)

this thread's purpose has been fulfilled. I'm glad action was (is being) taken and now this mediocre dealer is under the microscope.

"City spokesman Tom Lorenz said traffic investigators expect to identify the driver soon and will consider pressing misdemeanor charges related to unsafe driving. "

Now this will really be awesome!

flzrider · 08-27-2011, 11:26 AM

Glad it hit their local paper. I'm still not sure why bimmerpost never put it on the homepage.

NICE! haha I shot them an e-mail a few weeks ago, thought they dismissed it!
Good to see that it got airtime.
Nice work guys

Total Win Fellas !

Drace1 · 09-02-2011, 07:25 PM

Man that's pretty crazy...

I live pretty close to this dealer & have always stayed away from them due to their unprofessionalism.

What's even crazier is that about month ago I had a friend state "don't ever go to that dealership, people there race all the cars that come in for service."

Guess he was right...

Now the next question!

WHO BOUGHT THE CAR??

Is it one of our guys here? Anyone know what they sold the car for and who got it?

Also... BMW //M - knew about this pdi story as well!

mfinch99 · 09-04-2011, 01:19 PM

I just had my 1200 mile service run yesterday....YEAH BABY!!!

When I handed my key fob over to the SA, I asked him to make sure that no one "Pacific BMW's" my car. He had not learned about the flogging that occurred so I enlightened him. He was equally ticked that would happen during a PDI.....
