Ask a dealer
This is where members can come and get answers directly from those who work at BMW centers. I know besides myself, there are several other here who are CA's, parts reps, SA's, techs, etc. I figured maybe we could just use this thread to kind of help compile questions & answers for people. By no means do I have/ know all the answers, but I'll answer as best as I can
So whoever has a question, go ahead & ask. Whoever knows the answer, chime in and answer it Dave:biggrin: * Please don't ask if I think you are getting a "good deal" on a certain price. A good deal is one that you are happy with. Last edited by dbtheo; 11-20-2009 at 03:57 PM.. |

Thanks for the offer, Dave. A sticky is a great idea, and I am sure much appreciated by our members. I know I have appreciated your responses to my questions.

I previously posted this question, but the dealer screwed up my order because he didnt know the paddle shifters were extra. Now he wants another $100. Whats the correct course of action? Can the dealer eat this cost without a problem? I am planning on sticking to my guns and refusing to pay the $100.

I have a question... How much of a kick back does the dealer really get from the banks for financing a car? My CA said a few hundred $, but I've heard it can be a lot more. The reason I'm asking is because if the dealer can match the 4.25% I'm getting through PenFed I'm thinking about offering to use their financing instead of my own in exchange for a few freebies. (floor mats, an aluminum pedal kit, etc...) But I want to know how much stuff I might be able to get out of them before it becomes a bad deal.

Question:
I made a thread similar to my question before I saw your thread. So I'll just repost my question: I've been stuck at production code 111 for about 2 weeks now, which seems terribly long to just get a production date. My SA says not to worry and that I will get a production date soon. How long does it normally take to get from 111(placed order) to 112(confirmed production date)? Should I be worrying? Thanks!

I was wondering if you could check and see if Schaeffer BMW of Wilmington, NC has any allocations available. They said they placed my order but I have yet to receive a production number. They said i'd probably have my car around mid to late June. The CA was supposed to fax me some paperwork today but he didnt. Also i gave them my credit card number over the phone for my $1,000 deposit but it has yet to be taken off the card. I emaild my CA and he said that they dont always take the $1,000 deposit. He said the card number is more for "commitment." Anyhow..... also, if any CA's could check their systems and see if my car is on order, it'd be appreciated also.
