My Ride: 2006 530xi. Deep green with beige interior. 6 speed manual. Premium package.
My sales associate went over my car that I picked up today. After studying for 2 months I know more about the car than he does (though he had to show me how to sync my phone) - anyway - great salesman but even better forum.

LOL - but I know the feeling. I think we know more about all of the BMW cars than many of the sales associates. I hope mine doesnot read the site or that I remian anonymous because he was telling me about options that do not come with packages and packages with different options. I wanted to correct him but decided against it. He was a very nice guy.

I can't say enough good things about my dealer's service manager, my SA, my dealers' parts personnel, my dealers' Dinan techs, my sales team, and, in general, the excellence of my dealers' personnel. Nevertheless, all has not gone perfectly, but, then, I don't expect it to. What counts to me is the end result as we all are bound to get dirty in dealing with autos. And, my end results always have been "5's."
I hope your dealership works out as well for you.SA = Service Advisor to me, but, OK, why not SA = Sales Associate? Do we have an acronym precedent on this one?

I agree we often know more about a specific model than some salespeople. What I want, however, is someone with an open mind and a person that will let me go through the process of deciding what I want. I want to be able to test drive the cars alone. And I like to drop by the dealership frequently just to talk cars. I have received great service at BMW Seattle. I do not squeeze them for every last dollar on the sale - but I expect a lot of service.
