I got this email from where I bought my BMW, BMW of Monrovia. Normally, this wouldn't be a bad offer, turn in your car for a slightly newer model for the same payments. HOW-EV-A, I had to laugh as there is NO FREAKIN' WAY I'd do that with this car. It would totally be a downgrade. Just thought I'd share.

"BMW of Monrovia would like to "Reward" you for your past business by upgrading your 2006 BMW 3-Series.

Yea....I've had that same offer several times over the years. My 'similar payment' is NONE. Now if they can hook me up with zero car payment on a new one...well...i might just be game :-)

LOL. You know, I wouldn't even do it for that. My car is that "not-special".

I got a call from a salesman when my car was in for service at the stealership, I just laughed at him on the phone and said no thanks unless I can trade for the 850CSi they own

I wouldn't mind taking an E90 335 with BMW Performance Goodies.

I stand corrected, thats the only E90 I'd take over a E46. My brother has a 335i with JB4 and meth. That thing flies.

I just received a similar notice from my dealer regarding trading my 01 325xi touring in for a CPO 09 328xi touring they have on the lot. I filed it in the round filing cabinet.
