Hey guys, I will be in San Francisco/San Diego area for three weeks. Hope to see some ///M cars and their owners out there. If you happen to notice someone driving in a Mustang vert rental giving you a thumbs up, it's probably me.

Spotted Alpine White e92 m3 on 280 S going towards Daly City about 45min ago. Looked like it had some type of CF spoiler and CF splitters. I was the SG E90 you flew by. Nice car man.

Ask for Sharon, tell her Ben sent you.
I asked them to refinish some OEM 19s and they said they couldn't match the original finish so they refused the work...

Strange... heard good things about them which is why I contacted them in the first place. Anybody have a different experience?

I always see a large group of E9X's at SR. If people are not coordinating here, then is there another site.

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 had the same experience with two dealerships in the South Bay. Complete waste of time. I decided to go outside of the Bay Area and since my parents live in Santa Maria, I tired there. World of difference. The salesman was friendly, knowledgable and called back when he said he would. He worked before and after-hours. He's not making a lot on the sale but still provides great customer service. I ordered the car and once I get it, I might even schedule trips to visit my folks coinciding with regular, scheduled maintenance.

What's up NorCal. I'm moving to the San Jose (Willow Glen) area in a couple weeks and am looking at cable/Internet providers. Can anyone comment on AT&T Uverse vs Comcast?

Comcast will get you higher bandwidth (50mb), but they throttle you if you use it a lot and their service goes down more often. Comcast TV sucks in comparison to U-Verse. I went from U-verse to Comcast and now back to U-verse. Internet is limited to 24mb right now, but it's way more consistent and u-verse TV rocks.

Great info. Thanks for the heads up.

Service Advisor Recommendations in the South Bay?

I'm currently biding my time as I wait for my M3 to arrive at the end of the month, or early next month. While I wait, I thought I would seek the advice of SF Bay Area forum members.

While I'm purchasing the car at a dealership in the central coast area, I'll likely have my service done in the San Jose area. I bought my current 325i in Mountain View and my service experience has been good there until the last year or so. I used to see the same advisor at every visit but now I'm passed around from one advisor to the next like a piece of meat. And the newer advisors don't seem to be as well informed which is a serious concern when it comes to an M car.

I would like to find a good (hopefully great) advisor at either the Mountain View or Stevens Creek dealerships. Any recommendations?

Thanks and Happy New Year!
