Your post doesn't say sedan or coupe, unless I missed it, but I'm guessing a 4-door. I'm also glad you found a dealer that will treat you as you should be treated. Alpine White is a very good color choice for tons of reasons, especially in your hot climate. What's the interior? Beige or black? I noticed you have smartly avoided the iDrive... I'm sure you will have less frustration. Also, your "recovery" should be a quick one, as you start to log some miles on your new BMW.  TM

Replying to: louiswei (Oct 30, 2008 11:05 am) You nailed that one on the head. I had an es350 loaner a couple of weeks back, and drove my wife and kid in it. I asked her how she likes the ES, and the response was "it's nice, but does not seem to be as comfy as our RX"  . That showed me there ARE people that like soft riding cars/SUVs. |

Replying to: tagman (Oct 30, 2008 4:21 pm)  It's a sedan. I really dig the rear fold down seats. The interior is black. I prefer beige for Florida, but what are you going to do? The only thing I added from the finance person was the 5 year run flat warranty. Well worth it; unfortunately, a necessary evil. I'm very happy! Thanks again!

Replying to: hpowders (Oct 30, 2008 4:02 pm) Congrats on your new BMW. Dealers absolutely make all the difference in the world. There are two Audi shops in my general area, one is good, one isn't. I expect premium service from a premium car dealership. If they don't deliver, they don't get my business.

Replying to: lexusguy (Oct 30, 2008 5:15 pm) The BMW 3 Series is a totally different vehicle from my 2002 325i-more power, more front seat travel and so many more technological gizzmos that can truly overwhelm you! Wow! I was so used to lousy treatment from BMW dealers ranging from Queens, NY to Sarasota, Fl., that I committed the mistake of assuming they must all be bad. My experience today was probably what most folks who buy a Lexus take for granted. For the first time since 1993, I will be able to take a BMW phone survey and enthusiastically recommend a dealership. Never thought I'd live to see the day! Thanks again for your kind words!

Replying to: lexusguy (Oct 30, 2008 12:24 am)  . If your in the market for an SUV anyway, I would go with the Q7. I test drove the Q7, liked it a lot, but decided to buy an A6 instead. The Q7 3.6 had great pick up for a heavy car, a nice interior, decent gas mileage, and a load of safety features.

Replying to: hpowders (Oct 30, 2008 4:02 pm) What took you so damned long? Amazingly you survived a few months of BMW deprivation without any evident side effects. So tell me what's with this VW Syndrome anyways. You and Tagman boast about owning a VW Golf and within a few months you both have them replaced with BMWs Every single BMW dealership should have a VW Golf tester. This way everybody test driving the VW Golf will end up buying a BMW anyways.
