if #5,6 plugs are oily, then you should invest into the RB PCV valve. cuz that's the sign it showed there's blow by oil getting into them. if they are tend to be more wet and smell unusually strong gasoline, then those injectors are failing or acting up. #5,6 are usually having more problems than the rest of the cylinders. and i still couldn't find time to get my oil pan gasket and rear turbo oil line fix yet... they are still sipping oil very slowly... just annoying i have to wipe the drop of oil on my garage floor once every week or so...

If i didn't get a vert i might have skipped the warranty anyways. I mostly got it because of the top. If the top breaks it can get very expensive! 2k for a piece of mind knowing that i can get my top fixed anytime is worth it. I'm surprised your warranty was 2.5k for only 50k miles. Yikes. Carmax's prices are much cheaper too. They average about 5-8k cheaper for the same year and mileage depending on the state and dealer. In CA all bmw dealers mark them up alot, so carmax was the cheapest. Most of the ones that were 5k over had a 100k cpo though. With my warranty i still made out 3-4k cheaper than nielo bmw. Man do i hate that place!! I went there to see a car and got a bait and switch and since then i wont step foot in it. I'd rather drive to the bay than give them business. Whats funny is that i left nielo and drove to carmax, and left the lot with a car! haha. Sucks for Nielo! Oh, i also tried to get an oil change done there. I was heading to San jose and realized that it was time for a chance so i drove in at 10am and they said they were all booked and couldnt do it. I was like WTF its 10am, and i can see empty racks right now. Whats the deal, he said they try to avoid walk in's. I wonder why! Sounds to me like they want to make something go wrong to get money, or tell you something else is wrong ect... I laughed and said told them im never coming back and drove to walmart, got my mobile one oil, grabbed a filter at napa and changed it before i left. He had the nerve to say, "you'll be back, all bmw owners do". I guess its because there the only ones in Sacramento and bmw owners lack the courage to do there own maintenance. Ive been meaning to yelp about my experiences but there almost a year old lol.

I then said, ok well since he only put a deposit on it and he's not local, ill pay what you the same price he's paying for the car (the advertised price). The rep said, "sorry its technically sold so we cant sell it to you, but we do have these other cpo's that are just a little more expensive than this one that you might like". I said, "Your joking right, this is some bait and switch bullshit and unless you sell me that car im never coming back." They let me walk out the door, and i was so pissed that i ended up passing by carmax so i stopped in. They had a 335i e93 with 40k miles for 29k plus taxes. It was the only one on the lot (wished they had an m-sport model but didnt want to ship it. So an hr later i was driving home in my new (used) car. Elk grove lost a sale and lost any future chance at new sales that they might have gotten from me. I wouldn't have been pissed if they sold it that morning, I was pissed that they posted an add for a car that was sold just to get you into the dealership! The sales rep had the nerve to say, "its not a bait and switch since he put deposit on it and it's technically sold yet". Yet after he said that he still couldnt sell it to me! I gave the fulton one a chance to earn some maintenance work and to get turned away for a simple oil change brushed off like they didn't care was it for me. I have owned many fords, hondas and let me tell you, i've walked into dealers at 4pm and still got an oil change. I have a feeling that most bmw owners dont go other places so they get away with being snobs over there. There yelp ratings show it too. If i ever need anything major done, I'll be happy to pay $200 or even $500 just to tow the car the to any bmw dealer that is not nielo. Closest places are the bay to me and thats work fine for me.

LOL yea, i understand the situation of the sales. they SHOULDN'T put it on their site if someone already put down a deposit and try to bait other customers in and turn around and try to sell them something else. that's why when i shop for cars, i call, confirm and re-confirm once again before i drive over to make sure that IS available. when i bought my X5, i drove all the way out to Berkeley weatherford bmw, i at least confirmed with the guy 5 times during the whole week on a once a day basis before i was able to drive down on Saturday. i even called and re-confirmed the minute before i start driving, i was like "if the car is not available or somehow it is going to be sold to someone in the coming hour, im not driving down and waste my hour trip." so the guy was nice enough and put a hold on it, even the website still advertising it, but they ensure me there will not be any transaction done to that specific car im looking at until i get there.

yep! Elk Grove deserves my business even tho i have to drive hecka far on every trip. but they do stand their "excellent customer satisfaction" weather when my cars are in or out of warranty. they even introduced me the tech who worked on my cars so it's kinda like building a great relationship between customers and dealership.
