Are California Dealers "changing the price?" 135i
Hi all!
I've already posted on this topic on the general board. http://www.1addicts.com/forums/showt...light=cloudgif I think that all the helpful responders must think that I am retarded - or at the very least dyslexic. The BMW corporate website as well as the dealer websites clearly state that 18" wheels are a standard, no additional cost feature of the 135i. They also indicate that one can specify 17" wheels as a "no cost" option. Problem. Two Northern California dealers (the only two I've checked with) insist that the websites are "wrong" or "mistaken" and their price sheets, they say indicate that the 18"-ers are an option that you pay extra for on a 135i. Anyone here have personal experience buying, ordering or pricing out a 135i at the dealer in person, in California generally and in Northern California and/or Bay Area specifically? I don't think the people I talked to are lying. I do think something is screwed up. Thanks in advance. |

I think your dealer is an idiot, which dealer is telling you they are an extra-cost option?

I've been to 5 dealers in Southern California, the 18's have always been standard and of the like 10 135s I've seen I haven't even seen one with the 17s. I would find a different dealer. I've spoken with Sonnen BMW which might not be too far from you in San Rafael, and they were pretty straight forward and knowledgeable and actually had quite a few in stock, including a silver in stick which I spoke to them about.
Try Chip Rutan at chip@sonnenbmw.com or 415-601-2497. They also list their inventory at cars.com and might on their website as well though they don't give much info. Hope that helps. I know from experience how frustrating the process can be with these 1 series cars as the dealers tend to give out a lot of misinformation and don't really know much about the car or the options or ordering process it seems. |
