Its all about finding the right dealership and usually that means avoid the big ones at all costs. After going to several myself I finally found one I liked and turns out it was the closest one to me (and smallest), gave me the best deal and the customer service has been great. Haven't had any problems with my F30 (except a few times the start/stop failed this summer, basically stalling the car). Our X3 which is now 2 years old is more of quality issues (poor quality materials compared to F30).

So no, not all BMW dealerships are horrible, nor are their cars, but some do have issues and BMW should deal with them better.
Man you hit that right on the head about Audi. I seriously considered an s4 before my 335, but the arrogant sales people just turned me away. I love Audi's designs I really do, but I need the supporting cast to be strong on their front aka dealership.

When I test drove the S4 I asked some general questions, and the answeres were a little shocking. For example they only had a few loaners on hand, and they said if you're lucky you get one. Well spending 60k on a car I don't need to be lucky I need grade a service! It was a VW/Audi dealer and they seemed to be more concerned with customers buying 24k Jettas then 60+k Audi's.

That's why I stayed away. My local BMW dealer is great and until they start to fall apart and treat us like garbage I'm staying put!
Maybe ill just buy a used S4 and enjoy it that way..with a 2nd party warranty...
