Angry Complain for the dealer for the Performace Catalogue

I went today for a test drive of the 135, well it was everything I hope it would be and more.

After everything finished I went to talk not with the salesman, but with the guy from the Lifestyle BMW, which is also the one that has the catalogue from the Performance parts, I ask if the prices that I had from the previous catalogues where the same or different, he told that there were no catalogues and that the prices where only realeased on monday so I could not have anything, I said, yes I do, I have the one from BMW Australia, still he said that it was not possible because they are not giving that to the customersSo at this point I was already feeling like the guy was telling me that I am a liar or that I do not even know what I was talking about.

I was already upset by then but still happy because I just finished driving the 135, then I asked about the Performance parts prices and he gave me all the prices fitted, i said what Happen if I import one part (spoiler, wheels, mirrors, etc) will they fit it here and still under warranty? He said: No, if you do that by yourself, there is no warranty, it will all be voided, we won't guarantee anything and will not help in fitting anything :eyebulge: basically he told me, if you do that then, bad luck you are on your own, because it has to pass through BMW Australia otherwise we don't care if it is BMW US or BMW Germany, no OZ, no warranty or help at all. He said that the parts are different from other countires and not the same parts so they will not fit here, I said even the mirrors or the lip spoiler, he said yes they are different.

Also when asking the prices for the performance wheels he sais 3,000 and that does not include the tyres, and I said how much will it be then if I trade in the standard wheels from the 135 for those, he said that is already the price otherwise it will be more than 6,000.

Then he said that if I order that with the car then it will also be subject to the LCT, I said well then I just wait until the car arrives here and then buy the parts, he said oh, yes then no LCT.
Finally I asked so when are you going to have them on display, he said that they will not, because it is by order!!! So that means I will have to wait more than a month for the part if I order form there.

Anyway, thank god I know better from the forum and all the help from you guys, but these kind of salesman I do not know where are they hired from.

Well bad experience there, still very happy with the 135 but not with that dealer.
