Bad Service From Schomp BMW
Has anyone else bought their M3 from Schomp? My car is currently at the port but my CA either ignores my call and doesn't call back or just tells me he doesn't have any updates till later in the week. I called BMW NA today and talked to customer relations. I told them that my CA told me that he will not receive any updates until the car actually reaches the dealership. The lady on the phone tells me that he is lying because the dealer is the only one who should receive updates at this point and that I should call back. I'm extremely disappointed in their service, as it seems like they just wanna make money off the cars and not actually care for the customer themselves. This makes me wish I knew about Steve Thomas BMW before I ordered from Schomp... I know this may seem like I'm getting mad because the wait is taking so long, but I have basically tracked the car myself the whole time, and the two updates I actually received I knew about before the call. Has anyone else had a bad experience with Schomp?

I know how frustrating the wait can be, but I'm not really certain of what kind of info are you looking for? Your car is at the port. When there is an update along the lines of your car being transported to the dealer, I'm sure you will be informed. If you are wanting information like "ok, now your car is being unloaded! Now they are removing the shipping goo!" etc, etc, that's not going to happen.
I heard from my dealer when the car started production, then they set me up with a BMW account to track it myself, and when the car was en route to the dealer I got another call. Remember, you are not their only client. |

Be Patient!
I would say the CA could be a little more enthusiastic, they definitely get updates like when its leaves port, estimated delivery at dealership etc. But in the end, its just a horrible wait. I waited 9 weeks for mine to be delivered to Co's BMW. On top of that, it was scheduled for Saturday arrival at the dealership (of course no one is around to PDC a vehicle on Saturdays), and it actually arrived at Co's on Friday anyway. Of course I couldn't take delivery until Monday night, and it snowed 8 inches over the weekend with my car outside the entire weekend in the snow.
Now, I can probably care less about the whole situation, though I would do more homework next time around. I just enjoy the car itself so much now. I actually thought the 1200 mile break-in period was just as bad as the delivery wait... IMHO. The wait is probably just amplifying the pain. Try to take your mind off it, you'll be enjoying you car soon enough. Be happy you can afford a $70k car in this economic climate. |

I had a very good experience on the sales side. The sales manager (Jeff IIRC) is really enthusiastic and responsive. My problems with them were with the service department, not very good (maybe what you would expect with such a high volume dealer.)

I was making myself sick with excitement waiting for the car to arrive. Finally I let it be and before I knew it I got the call that the car had arrived at the dealer. Sit back and relax, you will have plenty of time to enjoy the beast! p.s. I am not necessarily sticking up for Schomp as I have had zero experience with them |

I felt the same way when my car was being redelivered from Euro delivery but my car took about 15 weeks for redelivery when it should have been 8-10. If your car is within the standard delivery window you should probably just do something to take your mind off of it. I agree the CA shouldn't have said your car should be here at a certain time unless he new for sure. Unfortunately there's nothing the dealer can do to speed things up. As far as I know all the info they have is also available to you on the BMW Web site anyway.

Shomp is apparently the busiest BMW dealer in the country and sells more BMWs then any other (according to their sales department)... it makes sense their service levels might be taking a beating due to volumes. No exuse but something to keep in mind.
