I have never had such poor experiences as I've had at BMW Dealers. I have purchased new Porsches, Mercedes, and other brands, and never had such blatant lies and gamesmanship as with BMW.
Beware of "variable" freight and PDI costs! In Canada, BMW seems unwilling or incapable of having an online configurator for the i3 that works.
As a result, I've noticed that each dealer seems to charge a different freight/PDI cost!
Another scam - charging sales tax on your cash due on delivery payment! I'm still arguing with the moron who prepared this lease quote about why it's wrong. He is showing $10,000 due on delivery, and adding Ontario sales tax (13%) on top of it, making it $11,300! But because of all the other fees due on delivery, it's easy to miss this and just pay the total.
Unbelievable.
It may turn me off the brand completely.
