I was looking at the new X3 at a few dealers in So Cal, found some good Reps and a few bad ones. The sales Rep at Savage in Ontario was a younger guy and was very knowledgeable about the new X3. The first thing he asks was if I was familiar with the new X3; I told him somewhat and from that point on we just talked about BMW’s in general and went on a test drive. If I had a question he would answer and if he did not know he would do some research. I was very disappointed with the first Rep at Crevier. This guy wanted so hard to prove he was an expert on luxury vehicles; unfortunately he was not. He tried to convince me that my ’06 ML was a rebadged Jeep GC and that the Mercedes R-class was a rebadged Chrysler Pacifica. He claimed his brother-in-law works for Mercedes in Germany and was part of the team that designed both. I told the guy just to go away and found another sales person who was much more professional. The Rep at Sterling was great, but the Reps at Irvine seem to have big egos. If you did not look like one of those pseudo rich “real housewives of Orange County” people they would just ignore you.
