In Reply to: Had a horrible experience with BMW... Buying E55.. posted by AF on February 24, 2001 at 01:42:08:
Walked into my local N.J BMW dealership to buy an M5 that they had in the showroom: 2001 Lemans/Lemans, 3500 miles. I was dressed very casually, i.e. jeans and a sweater. Stood for exactly 25 min until one salesmen came over and asked me , "Yes?"
I asked about the M5 and the salesman interrupted by saying "Maybe you would be interested in a 540 6 spd? Theyre very similar cars. M5 just has a more boy-racy body kit."
I simply walked out. I found that comment to be very insulting of my intelligence and knowledge of BMW automobiles.
Went to local MB dealer and they had a beautiful silver / black 2001 E55. Absolutely stunning. Salesmen treated me like a king.
I dont know what the hell is wrong with BMW dealerships. Oh well, their loss.
I love the E55. Never going back to BMW again.
A very satisfied MB owner,

i went to my local MB dealer to purchase a 1998 clk 430 they treated me like a piece of shit and sent me to their pre owned cause i tried to negetiate a price i was soooo turned off and at the time i didnt like BMWs so i gave my local BMW dealer a visit. i then asked at the time what is your bad boy you have to offer with 8 cylinders, he recommended a test drive in his 540 6 speed i couldnt beleive the way this thing drove, couldnt beleive the treatment i got. today i own my 540 6 speed and the dealer still treats me like i just bought it so dont judge all bmw dealerships the same
NIk
P S i finally got a test drive in the MB CLK 430, it sucks!
