Never heard of this before. I would be interested in the answer also.

The SA asked you that? My guess they might ask for you to trade in and upgrade to something but not sure what the SA would get out of a new sale

So here's why she asked me. Every other oil/annual service, they replace the key fob battery as part of the service. Turns out mine will be swapped at next years service since this is my first oil service. I don't think this a BMW thing, so it's a nice touch by the dealer.

Nice. First time I heard of a dealer doing this. One excellent dealership.

The darker the car's color the better in my opinion. I think it hides the "in your face" look somewhat.
