ammar518 · 11-04-2009, 09:25 AM

hey guys... i just leased an 09 black/black 335i sedan. while the guys were detailing it before i saw the car one of the salesperson back into it and scratched some paint off the front bumper. the guy felt like crap and told me to come back today and hell give me some free things and try to help me out while they fix my car. i want to take advantage of this so what do you think ill be able to do? he was mentioning maybe putting the M3 spoiler and tinting my windows for free. what ya think?

If its 6mt performance shift nob

Performance steering wheel

BMW PERFORMANCE MOARRRRRRRR

Yes on the tint
No on the spoiler

Get an internal addition that you didn't get on the car before (iPod Adapter or something) that the dealer can do.

ammar518 · 11-04-2009, 09:36 AM

its an auto... rly the spoiler doesnt look good? i never saw it on the sedan yet.
i was thinking on asking them to upgrade my stereo or throw in a performance chip but i guess im just dreamin on those two lol

ammar518 · 11-04-2009, 09:38 AM

and these are the options... auto. sport package with paddles. bluetooth/bmw assist. its a pretty standard one

sbux · 11-04-2009, 09:42 AM

ask them to fix it and throw it free floor mats, coupons for detailing...

Depending on the severity of the damage, take the car to a local reputable detailer to be fixed. Dealers are hacks when it comes to proper car detailing. Check the Detailing section here, or Autopia to find someone in your area. Have the dealer reimburse you for the cost, and throw in the goodies.

also my headlights jitter when i hit bumps... is this normal or what cause it drives me nuts. when i drive at nite im just starting at the light on the floor jittering and space out from the road... once you notice it once its always on ur mind

khaye1 · 11-04-2009, 09:47 AM

wait...did you take delivery of the car??? if not then don't accept the delivery and opt for another one, unless they could give you something you could not pass up.

nvm...just saw the last post i guess you did

Normal. Lamps that move will vibrate, sharper cutoff of the HID's also make it more perceptible(sp?)

jibaholic101 · 11-04-2009, 09:55 AM

make them give you a bunch of performance stuff. if you already took delivery, what did they give you?

If you are picky you can ask for a spoiler but make sure it is genuine and not a replica.

Would a dealer really use a replica?

am_ver · 11-04-2009, 12:31 PM

are you sure the car wasn't already damaged before they sold it to you. While detailing it they figured they couldn't hide the fact.

Brey335i · 11-04-2009, 12:50 PM

also throw in free Dinan Stage III setup with Dinan Oil Cooler and High Performance Intercooler.

Some M3 rims and tires, BMW Performance Steering Wheel, Aluminum Pedals, Logic 7, iPod cables, etc.

anything you can get your hands on

Sp82 · 11-04-2009, 12:51 PM

wow....with all these suggestions, why not just ask for a M3?..or maybe M5?....or maybe both?

Tee212 · 11-04-2009, 12:56 PM

Have them swap out for another new bumper in the lot and get some cool new accessories.

Craig@SupremePower · 11-04-2009, 12:56 PM

ohhh boy..

ellipsis212 · 11-04-2009, 12:58 PM

$100 Billion Dollars

Be a gentleman and respectable business person with integrity and don't take more than you deserve for your damages and inconvenience.

I can not agree MORE with my man on this one, PER Experience

Trojan4evr · 11-04-2009, 01:10 PM

GET BMW Performance Steering Wheel. It is Sick, $1244 I think. Ask about it dude. don't forget...

JayKay335i · 11-04-2009, 01:32 PM

Lol. Maybe a cup of coffee while you wait.

I think floor mats are your best bet. Maybe a cargo net for the trunk. They're not going to give you anything of any real value.
