Inviting me to come check out the Panamera

They must have me mixed up with somebody else who can actaully afford one....

Maybe I can just finance the Ceramic Brake package, place it in my garage, find a good dope supplier, and ride in it every once in a while.

my own BMW didnt even invite me to drive the new 5 series. in fact, i stopped there to drop my car off after work one day for service, spent about 30 mins in the showroom checking out the 550- not one salesman stopped to talk to me. I thought maybe it was because I look young (im 27) but I was in a nice suit. I was kind of insulted.

another reason why I like going thru internet sales dept...along with setting up my test drives that way...avoids dealing with pretentious CA's....

Maybe it's the dealership. I go to Newport Sterling and Irvine BMW, and both dealership have people coming up to me immediately.

I do particularly like Sterling

These cars are quite rare here so we get invited to almost all the launches due to the fact that we are the only 550i owners here. The Porsche dealers called us up when the Panamera Turbo ( it cost around 520k US dollars) and the Cayenne GTS came here. The new 5er arrived here this week and they sent us an invitation letter .
