Also having a BMW whether its low end or high end, comes with so much benefits compared to other brands.
the level of service/respect they have for their customer is prestige. compared to my infiniti/acura dealer. (my experiences)
They pick up my car and leave me a courtesy one anywhere if i want them too. not sure if anywhere else do that? maybe other luxury brands?
no gas money? lost wallet? no money for weed? bmw lends u 500$ interest free 30day if u need it.
free oil changes, refills, filter changes, etc for 4 years.
free brake pad changes if u buy the package. (good deal too)
their designated waiting room? a computer, wifi, cold bottled water, coffee, TV, tons of NEW magazines and newspaper. or u can just get a ride to anywhere in a nice clean new car. i say nice clean new car cuz from infinti they use a shitty nissan cube all the time.
when i call their number, a person answers it, not a fucking automated system.
the free shit that they give me for buying a bmw.

BMW = good.
yes im a "little" biased.

I have to agree with the part about infiniti, for a luxury brand their service is far from luxury.

But I also have to add that sometimes service varies from dealership to dealership? My dad's merc has been out of warranty for a few years and he still goes to the dealership for service and he receive excellent service too, many of the things you have listed like pick up drop off, get a decent courtesy car etc.

500$ interest free is sweet i wonder how many bmw owners are aware of that

The exhaust tips are true duals, however one is controled by a servo butterfly valve. When the car is first started in the morning, the valve is fully closed. While driving and going in the high RPM ranges, the valve opens. This is used to give the car a more sporty sound. It's a sport tuned exhaust.

true duals tips



servo butterfly valve on the right



hope this answered your question

some people buy it for looks, performance, brand, sport, utility, etc
dont be hating on people who buy low end bmws.

why not hate on those people who buy the authentic jdm red honda emblem for $$$ wen u can get an exact same replica for dirt cheap?
its about the feeling of having authentic. and if people want a bmw, why not?

not saying that i like the x3 though.
this is true. I have no problem for expressing their own opinion and not liking the X3, but knowing that many have not driven it and experienced it and to be bashing it and calling a POS is a joke. If you don't like it, kindly express it or keep it to yourself. This thread is silly and immature. You don't see me making threads about vw/audi because I detest them.
