Where did you end up going to buy your car? Parents are looking to get a new car and we'd prefer not going to BJBMW.

I guess it depends on the sales person you meet, but I think there is a reason why BJ BMW accounts for 40% of all BMW sales with so many dealers, they must be doing something right. I've had great experience with them and so did all of my friends. Having said that, a friend of mine works there... so my friends and I get VIP treatment.

^ Everyone expects that, but not everyone gets good service AND good pricing.
We can match or beat any price, i'm sure i can get you more discount but since you're buying from a friend, that's ok to pay more. Your friend does need to make a living too.
Did you get a 28 or 35? Sport line is my choice too!

BMW Store by far has the best service pre and post purchase imho. ask for James Lee.
But Autowest is great too.
I prefer the sales of BMW Store and the servicing of Autowest 
Nothing to prefer at BJBMW other than a funny name if that kinda thing makes you laugh.
@F30 -lol, since your buddy works at BJ, I don't think you have a good idea of what they're like. And sometimes you get sales just by being the biggest dealership. From what I hear though, Autowest and BMW Store are seriously chipping away at BJ sales wise. Of course that could be all hearsay.

Very impressive for the amount of power you have. | seriously, I am surprised so many people worry about fuel economy when buying a supposed premium sedan. When it is all said and done, depreciation is the greatest factor in value, not fuel economy.
to me it's not miles per gallon (mpg), it's smiles per gallon!

@BlackZRoadster - It's funny how you and I look at things so differently. I go to a friend because he can do me a favor and discount the price while still providing a great service, he'll cut his pay because when he needs something from me, I'll return the favor. By your comments I'm supposed to get a better deal from a stranger. Are you a salesperson? And if you really think you are right, PM me with a quote for the car I just ordered. If its lower that what I got, you'll have my business.
I went with 328, for a daily driver it's perfect. See my sig for details. Posted via RS Mobile | |

But if it's purely based on price then I would go to whoever gives the best deal.
You can pm me the quote and I can beat it if we have the same car coming in. If not it can always be ordered Posted via RS Mobile | |

Good choice F30!

The car is now in production at the factory, should be built in a week to a week and a half. Then shipping time is unknown.
In case anyone else is wondering, in Canada the way to check the status of the car is to call 1-800-567-2691 and provide them with either VIN or Production # and they will tell you the status of the vehicle.

For those who may be curious, another small update.
It took exactly a week for the car to go from in production to completed, it is now waiting to be shipped.

Most BMWes are done on a per order basis.. it is also a method for the dealers to reduce the buyer's negotiating power by keeping the stock low. It also allow buyers to do the "Customer experience" / "European delivery" service.. though in Canada it is an additional cost, in the States it is a lot cheaper. Quote:

Parkshore and BMW Store have great service.
Parkshore will low ball your ass for trade ins, so that's what turned me away TWICE.
When I mean low ball I mean much lower than the stealership trade in prices.

Congrats! I drove the 328i and love the interior. I was a bit skeptical, thinking that the 335i would leave this thing in the dust but it had surprisingly nice power delivery.
Here's some inspiration for when you take delivery: 
and I really really hope that they bring this badboy over:  | |
