Thanks for the address. Every time, I see his name my blood pressure starts to rise. I'm going to give him a piece of my mind for treating you the way he did.

And I'm sending a letter to the owner of the dealership.

BTW, my physics' professor has the first and last name as you. He's the best physics professor I've ever had. Is it a common Chinese name?

In the words of Darth Vadar:
"MAVERICK I am your Physics Professor"

j/k
actually Young Kim is a pretty common name amongst Koreans i believe..especially the last name "KIM" =P

I just purchased two vehicles from them a M3 convertible and 740i sport. What an ordeal I went through, I was going to cancel the deal with my salesperson because of Fred Gang. He is the biggest a-hole I ever met. Considering I was giving them $120k worth of business in one day. I paid the 5k over on the M3 and was told I would have my car in 1 week which is why I purchased from them and was willing to pay over. My guy at Rallye ended up getting it way before them. I ended up waiting 5 weeks and change. But that was not what pissed me off, I won't get into it. But Fred is not a person that wants to do business in a normal manner.

My usual dealer/service here in NY is Rallye Motors in Glen Cove. They are much better for service and only a little further, but it's OK you get to drive your M5. I bought 3 M5's from them already and 4th is on order. I hope you get some satisfaction from BMW, Bayside does deserve to FRY. On the other hand Robert in the service department there seem to be a nice guy......

Young,

Just to let you know that I have kept my word and have sent a letter to that bastard.

I hope you get some results from your letters to BMW NA. His behavior is unacceptable, period!

I have also sent a letter and left a not so nice message to Fred on hos voice mail!!

Keep us posted!

Young,

Besides the letter to Gang, I also sent a copy to the owner of the dealership so that they will know how much business their employee is turning away.
