Chu
Me
Andy
Cheeco
Bobert?
Ben?

Who else?

Anyone know what RT charges?
I think Bimmerworks was like $65 or so, don't qoute me on that as I don't really remember.

That sucks, how the hell did you miss that one?

atmosphere-wise the river deck or rock lobster wouldn't be a total loss. beer and food suck there though.



i must say that it is way to close to jersey and there is always a fight in the bathroom between to dudes with spikey hair, big sunglasses and athletic wrist band half way up their forearms.


RT did my tires and wheels (stockers) without issue. they are slightly pricey though at like $200+ but who am i to talk........i got an e90 to go drive, see ya.
I've never had an experience like that at the River Deck, and I've never been to Rock Lobster.

Are you saying R/T charged you $200 to mount and balance 4 tires?

Look at you ego trippin with your E90...

Chu, they will expect the same sexual favors that Marc gives them... just an fyi.

dambrosio is an all around failure of a dealership.

oh btw if anybody is looking for a used car, i recommend the place i picked up the e90 at. it is a privately owned place. they don't try to sell you on anything. everything was in a showroom and when i got there (after calling the guy to set it up), he pulled the car out front and center and answered a few of my questions and walked away for me to be alone to look at it. it was priced about 1000 under the market price according to edmunds and he told me he was firm on it, but it was a satisfactory price. i told him i was going to finance through my credit union because their rate was the lowest i found at 4.19% but he told me he uses them as well and got me 3.19%. he also showed me how the banks and government let dealership up the rate themselves and collect the difference. they just didn't seem interested in that or any of the BS you deal with at a dealer. the finance guy, the dude's brother, sat in the car yesterday for like 30 minutes showing my wife and me every feature of it which was nice (or he liked her). anyway it was a pretty painless experience. the only thing is they don't negotiate much but the prices are pretty fair.
