Lightbulb What If "BMW" Really Means................

Too Bad the "Silver-Spoon" Dude had so much bad luck and trauma with his Lexus SC 430, Really.

Has anyone pointed our to him that he's now driving around in a car that has "BMW" written invitingly all over it?


What if "BMW" Really means: "Break My Windows!"

Some guys would still be upset, even if you hung 'em with a Brand New Rope!

Well first thing first.. SilverSC430 I am very sorry you had such bad luck with your 2 SC's and I thank you for posting about your experience with respect to rattles and such.. Because of your posts I have been keeping my ears searching for anything out of the ordinary.. I guess the true test will be when summer rolls back around since I believe you mentioned that sun beating on the car made things worse..

What makes CL a place I come to is the exchange of ideas and stories that make us all better educated consumers and owners.. I hope you do stick around CL and share how life is with your new BMW.. As a previous Bimmer driver my only two beefs with the company was during the intial sale and the service part of the equation.. Maybe it was just bad luck on my part with my dealership because the car (328) itself was very good..

I almost ended up getting a M edition of the Z3 before ordering my SC but again the sales guy treated me with no respect.. Anyways I just wanted to share my thoughts..

Peace!

Been there, done that, and then................simply moved on.

Sometimes in life, that's the right thing to do.

If your commitment to "The Ultimate Driving Machine" is really there, you owe it to yourself to arrange to take delivery of your new BMW at their State Of The Art Performance Center in Spartansburg, S. C. What they provide for you is awesome! They enable you to experience first hand, in your car and their's, the "Ultimate Edge" those Cars are Designed for.

Out of curiosity, which Model of BMW have you Ordered / taken Delivery of?

Hope you weren't offended by my gentle "ribbing" - it was only meant in jest.

Best Wishes to you for many happy miles of motoring excitement in your new BMW!

"LEXUS - THE ULTIMATE LUXURY / PERFORMANCE DRIVING MACHINE!"
