Sketchy experience start to finish

on2 star average rating? Makes sense!
From the start, this felt very “off” but I wanted to trust them. The sales experience was slimy and they hire people who pretend that they are sales people, but in reality they just handle inbound inquiries, gain the interest from the perspective buyer and then switch them to a sales person the moment they step foot into the showroom. I was clear about what I wanted with the lease and they agreed to it, in writing. I was promised that the clear bra would cover the zones we discussed and agreed to, INCLUDING the front bumper and rocker panels, since those areas get the most rock chips on our highways. I paid nearly $1100 (documentation attached) for those items to be done, and they put it into the contract on a “WE OWE” sheet which is a legal binding document. I made countless calls and emails to the owner of the dealership as well as the general sales manager Greg Jones, of which I have all documentation of. The sales person, James was also involved in the entire transaction and kept saying he was embarrassed by how they handled everything and he wished they had more integrity. Greg stated he would have a mobile tech come out and install the clear bra as promised, but they never did so. I owned the car almost a month and they still didn’t do what they promised. I called BMW customer care and they started a case file for me but stated that since the dealer is independently owned, it would have to be taken care of with the dealership. They stated they reached out to the dealer Gebhardt, and Greg told them they didn’t need to honor their contract, since I sold the vehicle. They completely ignored the fact (literally fact) that I contacted them many times to get the work done, and to talk about my concerns with the dealership after leasing a $100k vehicle. They NEVER followed up, including the owner of the dealership or the general sales manager, NOBODY. I feel sorry for James the sales person, because he stated he’s always caught in the middle of their promises and tactics. Well this time is different, it’s a contract, it’s in writing and they’ve failed to follow through with their written promises, for products I paid for and never received. This is pure fraud. Stay away from this dealership. I will continue to spread the word because it’s black and white, and documented.
