I just picked up my CPO '06 330i today from East Bay. I had a great experience with my salesman, Jessie Antonio-a very nice guy, helpful. I had detail work and installations to be done on the vehicle which I thought may take a couple weeks to get done/scheduled, but he made sure it was done (and was done) before I picked it up tonight. I have yet to use their service department. Yes, they have several BMW loaners that I saw on their lot. They also have an Avis Rent a car, and from what I was told, also give Avis cars for loaners. They told me if you were really picky about getting a BMW loaner (usually 3 series or X3), you need to let them know that's what you want.

They will treat you very well. I purchased my X3 through them and they were great. They want those high customer service scores, so they will do everything they can to make you happy.

Why did you have to order from a East Coast dealer?

Bimmers are probably cheaper here in Cali.

Oh ok well that makes sense. I was thinking it was b/c of the AWD and very few Cali dealers will order Xi's since there's no demand here.

Yes, East Bay BMW does have good service. However, I stopped going there about 2 years ago. The last service they provided was brakes and rotors for my '99 328i, and charged me just over $1,000 out the door. Their policy was to replace the rotors along with the pads, whether the rotors needed replacing or not. The price was waaaayy too high. I found an independent service in-route to my business address that charged me, I can't recall exactly right now without looking into my service files (which I do have), but it was something like $500-$600. But my experience with East Bay was always very good (accepted a minor drop-in service one time, no appt), but their price, I found, was too high, incl cost of labor per hour. It may be in line with other dealers, but I don't have my cars serviced by dealers.
