It takes 5 seconds to apply it, and they do it to every car that comes in. It's only a question as to who is gullible enough to pay for it.

Congrats on taking delivery! Sharp looking car. I also agree on not doing stealth PPF. I like the color as it is.
Sorry to hear about your dealer issues. It's amazing to me how some of these places continue to operate. My dealer had some confusion on ordering individual colors which I did the legwork on to push it through. Thankfully, it wasn't as bad an experience as what you had. Definitely looking forward to the post PPF and ceramic shots.

I'm curious why you didn't go for another F-Type?
Also, Im in NJ, and my dealer is excellent. If you'd like to break the cycle of nightmares with these guys, I'll gladly pass along his info.

Stunning, love everything about it, but one glaring omission especially being in the northeast is the M drive professional. Any reason you didn't tick the box?

Not crazy about the tweaks to the look of the mid-cycle refresh. They also tuned out some of the volume under 3500 RPM…which is like, sort of the whole point. I'd have to order one too and at their normal prices, even 5-10% off MSRP, they're objectively less value than their competition. I got mine for nearly $29k off sticker brand new…lmao. I originally wanted to trade up into a 2020 SVR right before I ordered the G82, but they were impossible to find. It sucks because the dealer was awesome, and the 5/60 b2b warranty and included maintenance is awesome. The M4 does not look nearly as good, and frankly sounds like shit, but is truly an all-round better car, in basically every measurable way. It's the personal preferences and driving characteristics that I love about the F-Type. And you don't see many either. I'll grab an SVR some day for like $40k and drive it until the wheels fall off, they outright ban ICE, or I'm dead. It is one of the most, if not the most visceral drives this side of an exotic.

No that's the detailer's shop. The guy who runs it's is a real pro and also happens to be a super nice guy. First rate through and through, as you can see from his shop. I believe he does storage too. |

Beauty! FWIW when I lived in CT, I always dealt at BMW of North Haven. They always tested me right.

Is that your garage or the dealership? If its the dealership why is the car dirty. If its your garage, which private equity firm do you work for?

It's the detailers shop. He picked it up from the dealer at delivery. The car was a mess when I picked it up. They were told not to wash it, which they obviously didn't, but were also not supposed to remove any shipping plastics, which they did. I'm over it at this point. I just want the car done and to drive it. I started it and pulled it out of the parking spot for him to load into his trailer. That's the extent of my interaction with the car thus far.

Anyway, enough of the rant:
Wow..that was one hell of a rant, man. What kind of house did you grow up in - because your parents certainly didn't deserve it…first world problems to be sure.
However - a great point you made, one that just amazes me to no end. How do you work in sales in a BMW dealership - or, not sales and BMW in general- and not follow Bimmerpost? Wtf. Seriously. You call yourself a professional? Not a chance. Enjoy the car. |
