My wife and i have/are looking into a change of Vehicle and have viewed quite a few different makes and models of vehicles.
I simply cannot get over how badly the BMW salesman came over towards me and my wife.
I've viewed Brands from Nissan, Vauxhall, Mazda, Kia Mercedes & BMW
Believe it or not the Mercedes Dealer was the most accommodating although i think it had a lot to do with the fact it was a Commercial vehicle dealer as we like the new Vito, next to the Kia Saleswomen who understood our needs well.
All the chap from Vauxhal wanted to do was shift old stock, Nissan made out they were looking after us being a "Valued" customer despite hiking the number's up after discounting.
The BMW chap said the vehicle we was looking at wasn't suitable for us and didn't want to appraised our 2 year old Quashqui there and then and simply said we had to book it in for appraisal.
He also was un-interested in detailing a finance payments/plans there and then.
Nor did he want to show myself around the 7 seater 2 series Gran Tourer also telling me it would be a while before a vehicle was built.
Perhaps i may have got a better reception if had turned up in my E Class suited and booted not that i was scruffy when visiting the dealer either, i am Self employed and work hard to support a happy lifestyle but i dont go shouting about it and do all the bling bling affair!
At the end of the day All of the vehicles we looked at were of a similar price 20 - 30k and all within budget
Just thought id share my views, Are all BMW dealers judgemental as my wife quite likes the look of the 218.
