Hey guys. Any of you have dealership sales rep recommendations in the South Bay? Almost everyone I try to talk to is a complete douche. I'm thinking about trading in my 135i for an E92 M3, but want to take one for a test drive before making a decision like that. I'm 32 years old, but look like I'm in my early/mid twenties and all the sales people seem to treat me like crap.

I went to Stevens Creek today to attempt to test drive a DCT version but the guy told me they had none. I just checked their inventory site and it says they have 3: http://www.stevenscreekbmw.com/new-i...&SBprice=clear

Think they were just trying to get rid of me or maybe their inventory is off? I seriously can't stand car salesman.

i think one of the differences between a good store and a bad one is that the good one views everyone as a potential customer instead of profiling and losing sales.

good luck though!

The funny thing is when I was shopping for my 135i, the salesman showed very little interest in helping me until he asked what I was currently driving. Told him my wife and I were sharing an 08 335i and his eyes lit up and instantly became friendly.

Damn I just got spanked by a ls3 vette with tune. Three times in a row. Rolling start. from 20-90+. I was ahead one of the runs when I took off first. but once again he smoked me when we got to 90+

Are the vettes that much faster?

LS3 Corvettes have more horsepower and torque than a M3 in addition to it weighing less by more than 500 pounds. It is going to be harder to beat especially since it has a tune for even more power output. Glad to hear you held your own though.

Hey guys, just visiting from socal with the family. Spotted an ib e90 down on third or fourth downtown yesterday. VRS body painted splitter, some 20s, blacklines and an exhaust system, couldn't tell. Beautiful car, made me miss mine, although after a couple days up here, I would be scared to park anywhere, everyone has scratched up bumpers!

+1, can also say that Sean with the white M3 sedan sent you. He's done like 5-6 cars for me and IMO his quality is better than Premier.

If you want, you can check out my hood wrap at the Wheeldude meet this Saturday in Fremont.

I am getting mine done this weekend, by Harry and Don at HD Salon. After it is done hit me up to check out the quality. PM me with an email address and I will send you pics, tell them I sent you, they will give you a great price

. These guys took their time with me, detailed what I should expect, showed me pictures of cars they have done before. They also do lips and Vinyl wrap.
