Test drives in Los Angeles area?

L8ESTCO · 06-26-2014, 03:04 PM

Hey guys, I'm seriously considering an m3 for DD purposes. Love the car but would like to drive it first. Anyone have a lead on dealerships offering test drives? Any info would be great! Thanks!

Monrovia BMW also has a white M4, saw it when I drove by. Couldn't tell if it's MW or AW as the car was too far away.

If you were any closer, BMW of Temecula has one M4 available. They said they will test drive. I confirmed it with my SA that sold me my car.

Most dealerships are not allowing test drives as BMW wants all their new inventory to have less than 5-7 miles, because 1 mile or so is used to PDI them.

McKenna sucks, on the phone they got me to come down and when I got there they showed me the m3 told me all I could do was look at it, sit inside and start the engine but no revs. They said I could only test drive it after I signed the deal. What a crock of shit and a waste of my time. I had my wife there and ready to buy. They also told me the best they could do was 5k over sticker. We left and went straight to Monrovia where we had zero issues test driving m4s for several miles. We came in for one family sedan but my wife liked it so much she wanted one for herself so we ended up buying two tonight. Too bad, McKenna could have sold those if they let us drive em. Who buys a 75k car without driving it? It's not a 458. Come on. Probably why they have so many collecting dust in their lot.
