I always did much better in the snow with dsc off. Fwiw. (That was the 330 - the V never saw snow unless it experienced it during manufacturing and on the trip out here).
Jeff, I went to Brecht in Escondido and I have to say, it was a really decent experience. The dealer is close to my house. I paid $1250 over invoice (it was $1500, but when I objected to the $500 maco/advertising fee when it came up, they split the difference). I expect the dealer to make something . . . it's possible I could have got them lower, but then I wouldn't get floor mats included.
Regardless, there are no hidden fees once we discussed how I didn't consider the Maco fee part of an invoice price, no acquisition fees, no dealer prep fees . . . none of the B.S. I have seen other places.
I compared prices at BMW of San Diego. THat dealer is close to my office. They wouldn't come close to the price, wouldn't give me a hard number b/c I told them up front I would have to talk to my wife (who planned to come that day, but had a really bad short term flu) and wouldn't sign that day, generally left a car dealer type slimy feel on my skin - sort of like a chevy dealer or toyota dealer high volume kind of feel. Their "acquisition fee" was $825 and they claimed they had to pay that to someone or another so it wasn't negotiable. I was surprised to say the least.
If I wasn't happy with Brecht, I would have tried Cunningham in El Cajon. It's a hike, but I remember being impressed with them during my e36 M3 search.
I haven't tried out the new service center at Brecht yet, but after they got the MINI dealer going, they were trying to service sales of 300 cars/month in a service area that was designed for 50/month. They built a new off site state of the art service center with an entire roof of storage parking . . . it's much nicer. Hopefully I will continue to be as pleased with them in the future. They were always fair with the M3 warranty (both manufacturer warranty and CPO).
