CPO is mandatory, but I'll check them out. I lost faith with my E90.

Dude this is my 1,2,3,4,5,6,7th? BMW and by far the most unreliable.

Demand for BMW's in Atlanta is super high, it's a BMW city.
Atlanta is a booming city, in general. But I agree with the concept of traveling for the car you want. I drove out to Sterling, VA for mine. Certainly wasn't more than about 55 miles away. But that is pretty far considering I could just walk to Tischer

another dealer

Have you tried Global Imports? The biggest dealership in SouthEast as far as I know.
I use them for my service needs and I am satisfied with the service I get (so far !!!).

Garage List
Aonarch, charm or no charm, I used to work for the biggest Ford dealer in the west coast. I know the schemes that we used to pull. I didn't follow their scams. My grandpa taught me this: you give the customer price once. If there is no deal, shake hand and bid them farewell.
I used to buy my cars from SHelly BMW. used to swear by these guys; until I sold my ZHP, and I was ready to make my move into an E92 335. Well, they wouldn't budge on the price for 500 over cost. It was a white, with red interior and 6 speed, with Mpackage. SO I said bye bye. And I told the guys, you loose me once, you will loose me forever. Someone referred me to another dealer and he was polite enough to tell me upfront: 500 over cost for anything i want.
Long story short, I would call the owner, and tell him what took place, and basically tell him that any next BMW won't be from you. Thank you and have a nice day.
GOod luck to you

You're looking at Donohoo? That's where we bought my sister's Jetta. Long story short we're not buying from them again... all I gotta say that car is there for a reason.

Always try to buy from a woman. They don't feel the need to inject ego into a negotiation.

The only chick was busy.

Lol but these two obviously white trash dudes stumbled in the show room and completely wasted this other salesman's time. That's not why I got stiffed btw, this dealer knows me.

They were talking financing and I heard some crazy ass shit from the trailer park hero, plus he parked far away so you couldn't see his ride. What an idiot.

I pull up front like I own the place, then leisurely get out of the car while on the phone, walk up yes I need a salesman please. lol, they love that shit.

Lol, yup. Nah I'm very polite and today I was wearing business casual, and I'm devilishly handsome so everyone male and female falls in love with my bulge.

I love how the sales people who work at these BMW dealerships don't drive BMW's or know shit about them.
