Looking for an SA
Doesn't matter where or what dealer. I want someone that knows the brand and shoots straight... someone with whom I can have an actual relationship. Local dealer (Sonic) is just terrible, and all the brokers I've talked to just have no follow-through or concept of communication. Not sure I'll be buying or leasing this MY, but I'd like someone I can call or email occasionally to see what's up and then pull the trigger when things feel right. In my mind, the SA I'd like has been doing this a long time. I don't mind paying for quality, but I do mind overpaying. I just want a fair deal, and I realize what is "fair" is variable given market conditions.

To be frank, Dan wasn't very helpful or responsive. Numerous questions were ignored and about the same number of emails. Tried a few others over on Leasehackr, as well, but I suspect they all have this backchannel where they coordinate blacklisting any potential clients that shop around. Not like I wanted to shop around. I prefer being able to trust someone and work with them. And you're right about it being a weird time, which is why I'm on the fence about even pursuing this MY... but I'd still like to reach out to someone and form a tentative relationship for the possibility of when BMW regains some clarity.

Your mailbox is full, and apparently I had private messaging turned completely off. It's on, now.

Haha, Leasehackr, I contacted about 5 "brokers", and they were all full of it. I talked to one on the phone and it was like he was doing me a favor just to talk to me. Finally he said, "well, it's going to cost a lot of money to ship the car, so I can't help you."
PM me and I can share my SA info. Quote:

I just saw your post, does your CA friend still, has an allocation for M5? I recently joined so couldn't really figure out how to PM you. Can you please let me know? Thank you so much |

I decided to hold off until the Bowers makes a reappearance, along with some other things. Even then, I've been trending towards the M8 Coupe lately. I know, heresy.

I don't remember honestly, and not that it really matters, and I'm pretty sure Morristown is still open road if I'm not mistaken. But yeah I had some bad experiences at pretty much all of those dealerships up north, if I has to pick I guess yours wasn't the worst of them, not like open road which had me sit around for 2 hours waiting for the SA I had an appointment with before I walked out (and they called me like an hour after that asking if I was still coming in) or park ave who specced me out a car and was gonna call me back and let me know about some individual options after they rushed me out out door basically and never got a call back. Called to ask what's going on and apparently they never even put my name in the system lol. More promises to get a call back and many voice-mails later decided to move on. And this is the story of how I ended up with a 2022 m5 and not a 2021! (Been going from dealership to dealership since about March of 2021 before finally ordering in august)

Until things start flickering back to life, I haven't taken things seriously yet. I didn't know about the lack of massaging seats, but I will say I never used them in my previous M5. However, they were one of those nice little touches. I agree with you on the looks. I also like the smaller footprint it has because I just seem to have this spatial issue with larger cars that makes me curb every damn wheel. The one thing that really just gets me with the M8's is the interior, especially that Tartufo/Ivory combination. Mmmmm.
