Last time I picked up my car from LA. Some 70 year old guy (looks like the owner) came and said “why are all these Asian guys coming from San Jose to buy up all our cars, corporate is starting to tell us we can’t sell out of region, you are lucky you may have gotten the last car”.
That sounded a bit odd and maybe a little racist so I asked him what region you can sell to, then he said “up to Bakersfield and down to San Diego”, it’s been 2 years and I have yet to find any evidence of BMW restricting car sales by region within state. That was a bizarre episode but a little bit of a buzz kill, imagine picking up your new ride and some dude started all this nonsense.
