Which GTA dealer to buy from?

parabmw · 09-12-2022, 06:05 PM

Looking to get into a 2023 m3 for delivery by Apr 2023.
I've been told the wait is 6-9 months.
Is there a dealer that has more allocations or better to deal with?

Who did you go with?

I've gone through Parkview, Budds Oakville and Durham and can honestly say Durham was the best experience overall.

If you are simply looking for a dealership that has more allocations, just start calling around and see which one has an allocation that lines up with when you want delivery.

If you are looking for the best dealership experience, Durham was awesome compared to the other 2 I dealt with.

+1 for Durham (formerly Endras)

I know you are in GTA but my dealer in Montreal gave me an allocation (that I gave away to someone) within 4 weeks of order.

Durham BMW is my go to dealer and they are awesome. See Roy Milley or Enzo Guglielmo.

Avoid Pfaff BMW at all costs. BMW Toronto was pretty good in my experience, so was Parkview

Any reason why? I ask because I bought my 335 there, albeit nearly 8 years ago. Was looking at maybe ordering an M3 from Pfaff. thx

Long story short, I'm also a longtime customer and their service department tried to scam me into paying for something that was covered under warranty. I tried getting in contact with the service manager and they ducked my calls so I had to go in person to argue with them and the issue still isn't resolved.

Their sales guys don't really negotiate anymore either, but this is just my experience.

I've had great service from Pfaff. I think it depends who you deal with. Dylan at Pfaff has always been great and transparent. For service, I let Dylan know Im bringing it in and he also makes sure everything (including a small warranty claim) goes smoothly. For my F82, I had coilovers, catless downpipes, Akra exhaust, BM3 stage 2 and had no issues.

Thanks for responding. Yes that does sound frustrating.

Complete opposite for me
I waited 9 months with no allocation at BMW Toronto
While other dealership with customers who placed an order around same time as me already got theirs.

Nah don't worry about it. I don't need anything and I don't believe in gifts for simply being nice.

I'm happy that I can help someone out especially given your long wait time. Super happy for you!!

BMW Newmarket. Fabulous experience. Shout out to my Sales dude Mike for being top notch. One of the best guys I have dealt with in my 34 years of car ownership and 15+ vehicles later.

Very cool, and one of the best things about the community.

Do you know what boat you are on? Morning Lena left Germany Sept 21st but has been delayed for arrival in Halifax. And then there is the stop sale, but what's a month or 2 when waiting many months.

V's M3 · 10-07-2022, 06:53 AM

Ordered my g80 m3 manual from Autohaus back at the beginning of March. Still no allocation.
