Experience at BMW dealerships for after sales has always been sad , depressing and a big problem in terms of waiting , appointments , timely delivery etc.
There is a waiting period of 20 Days for appointment for a normal service. This shows how under staffed they are or lack of infrastructure for after sales.
It seems after sales service is not a priority or of any importance to BMW or there dealers. They have just no respect for your customers time.
The dealership does not even have adequate staff to handle the appointments and the staff they have is mostly untrained or under training to make the process even slower.
May be you should take your dealers to a Toyota workshop to see how professionally & efficiently they work without wasting any time and most importantly respecting and valuing customers time and appointment.
All this was not enough so your Dealership has now hit the bottom of the pit as they have now has started cheating customers by replacing worn out parts with second hand/old parts instead of new.
This is in reference to the Support assembly of the left shocker of my car which was replaced on 21 April 2012 this particular part has a warranty of 2 years but it broke down in just 5 months
This clearly indicates that the part changed earlier was either A second hand / old part or it was repaired and put back in my car and the dealership kept the new part for itself.
I do not understand how can a part which has a warranty of 2 years give away in 5 months???? I am sure Maruti parts are also stronger & trust worthy than this.
I would like you to help me solve this issue and also confirm whether it is a second hand / old / repaired part or a manufacturing defect in your part.
Warm Regards

Exterior Beautiful looks. matches the looks of a stallion. I am a big fan of BMW.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Very decent interiors. Expected space and comfort for a 3 Series. Car charge plug is under the Drivers hand rest which is bit unfriendly to use.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Excellent.
Ride Quality & Handling Very poor ride quality especially in the back seat. The nature of the 3-series suspension is very hard which makes the ride more un-comfortable especially on Indian road conditions. The vehicle appears to be a bit unstable at high speeds (160+ kmph) because of this stiff suspension. Hence the speed has to be limited. At times its difficult to contol the urge to get out of the car especially in rough riding conditions.
The steering control and its responsiveness is one of the best in the world. I have driven many luxury cars but BMW is the best in this aspect. One would feel that they are turning the wheels with their hands.
Final Words A good entry level luxury car but has been very dissatisfied with the riding comfort.
Areas of improvement I think I am very clear on the improvements required.

Exterior The exterior boasts of the stupendous and synonymous BMW sedans- It does turn a few heads whilst I drive back and forth from office.
Interior (Features, Space & Comfort) Vouch for the car's safety, space, and comfort- its spacious indeed and comfy. Wont make you feel tired after a long journey.
Engine Performance, Fuel Economy and Gearbox Didnt feel the fuel economy to be a positive affair albeit I was cognizant of the fact that I purchased a premium car.
Ride Quality & Handling Stiff Steering is something which put me off. Rest is good to go.
Areas of improvement
a) BMW India needs to bring pro-rata BMW Service Inclusive for second-hand owners even if the warranty period has expired. I recently requested for one and was told to pay for a 6-year package when my car was almost 4 years old.
b) BMW India needs to extend the BMW Service Inclusive package to 10 years from its present 6 years.
