In the latest lineup, only M240/M2 and Z4 M40 worth considering 

Besides these, the current 3 series, 5 series, 8 series, X3, X5 are still pretty good looking. 

I was about to say 7 series as well, but the latest generation which looks like the Hongqi H9 is a joke.

Few years back, I went with a friend to PML. My friend was taking a shot at the M6 when a saleslady approach us and ask my friend where is he from? My friend and I were puzzled. Then she continued saying that he is not allowed to take photo. My friend told her that there isn't a sign saying that no photo taking was allowed which I affirmed too but he apologized for not knowing photo taking was not allowed. Then we left the showroom without looking further. We felt that the saleslady was not professional in her dealings.

Other than this, I felt that PML layout of the display cars is like cars parked in a warehouse, don't really feel anything premium about the showroom at all compare to Audi or Mercedes.

BMW has something which Audi or Mercedes doesn't have AFAIK.

Just good to know that the option exists .

sales too good, or maybe until bm sales overtake them.

They should appoint SG Road Vigilante as agent - so many BMWs in their videos

Not difficult to find places that photo taking is not allowed and yet there is no sign saying that no photo taking is allowed. 🙄

If both AD sell BMWs without trim/model difference, direct competition will hurt the profit of either agent.

Eurokars could look at bringing in lower/barebone trims to entice more buyers to BMW. Examples from BMW Germany konfigurator -

Duo of ugly muthafkers on display there..

Maybe it depends on what level you are at each dealer. Macan is a “lowest” at Porsche. If you drive a mini one. Maybe one gets accorded the lowest life form standard. 

Mine is a Mini Cooper (not S) but service is also decent, generally better than PML but I also don't have much complaints with PML, save for their crazy margins and inflexible pricing.

PML is just not hungry enough, allowing C&C's Mercedes to take market share from them when they have a better product (generally speaking). Some competition is good.
