Consider yourself lucky Micah. The salesman I got at Santa Monica BMW was a complete arrogant jerk. I went there to order a car, though I wasn't sure whether to get a 128 or 135, so asked to drive a 328 and 335 (back in Feb.) and he basically refused to let me drive them under the guise of the engines weren't the same. I'm like, ya they are! He said, no they aren't, they "detune" them in the 1 series so it's completley different.

Then I asked if I could at least sit in some 3's to see what the sport seats and normal seats felt like, see some colors, etc., and he reluctantly agreed, then knocked a bee from the windshield INTO the car as I was sitting in one, and then scoffed and laughed in my face when I said I was looking to put $3,000 down and pay $500 a month on a lease on a new 1. Then he lied and said you had to put at least 3-4,000 down to order one. I was there for all of 15 minutes.

Guess that shows how random the person you get at one of these dealers is. Wish I'd gotten Mario.
