My history with BMW
In 1987 when I bought my first bike (a k75) I bought it from a small BMW bike dealer. I never had a problem with the shop, if I wanted something done it got done with no hassle and this went on till the shop went out of business.
When I bought my Z3 in 2000 it was bought through a larger BMW car dealer and all I got from them was a lot of head aches.
Now the only way to get anything BMW is from a large dealer whether it be a bike or car it will be from the same dealer. There is nothing personal anymore as you are a number. I think there thoughts are we need them more than they need us.
Well, if it was not for us they would not exist, they need us. I have also found that if you call BMW Canada (or North America) generally nothing happens except you get put on a list with a red mark on your name and nothing gets done because they always tell me to deal with the dealer.
