s420merc · 10-05-2009, 03:03 AM

Anyone deal with Bobby Rahal BMW outside of Pittsburg. I am thinking of buying a 330 ci 2006 CPO car from them and its a bit of a haul for me i live 300 miles away so if anyone has any input on this dealer plz post your comments possitive and negative the car in question is a 2006 ZHP 330 coupe.

VTECaddict · 10-05-2009, 03:30 AM

Wait, what?

2006 coupe is an E46, and E46 did not have ZMP. ZMP didnt even exist until 2009. Do you mean ZHP (performance package)?

s420merc · 10-05-2009, 03:32 AM

yes zhp sorry

Koroush · 10-05-2009, 05:13 AM

Well his name sounds like hes a crook....

Bobby Rahal? Seriously?

Floppy Ears · 10-05-2009, 09:31 AM

I just purchased (last week) my car from there. I don't have a single bad thing to say about them. I live about an hour away and it's well worth the drive for me. From the moment I walked in the dealership, I was well taken care of. Facilities are top notch, and the CA I purchased my car from was great every step of the way. I also purchased a CPO vehicle.

I actually saw the car on the lot that you're talking about and it looked beautiful. I'll be back there on Wednesday if you want a personal opinion.

If you have any questions about my experience, shoot me a PM.

Rahal Letterman Racing runs the BMW ALMS racing program.

eltoshan · 10-05-2009, 09:55 AM

I ordered my e92 through them and took delivery 6 weeks ago. They are by far the most honest dealership to deal with in the Pittsburgh area. Though everyone's mileage may vary.

pruettfan · 10-05-2009, 10:00 AM

Met him in the pits at Laguna Seca in 1992, nice guy. Don't know anything about the dealership but I would think that he would not put his name on a sleezy business.

sekitori · 10-05-2009, 02:43 PM

Bobby Rahal won the Indy 500 in 1986. He averaged almost 171 mph, the third fastest speed in the history of the event.

hsleiman · 10-05-2009, 02:50 PM

I've only dealt with the service department of Bobby Rahall but the building is very nice and the people there are very helpful. They helped me get the differential replaced on my 04 X5 and found a way to only pay for labor and get me the parts for free. I have nothing but nice things to say about them.

kgb1637 · 10-05-2009, 02:56 PM

Wow, what a rarity to hear such rave reviews about a dealership, tell him to open one around Philly!

We get our Acura serviced at Bobby Rahal Acura and it has been top-notch. When we were still looking to buy, the saleswoman that I dealt with was superb, too.

M3PGH · 10-05-2009, 03:30 PM

it is a great dealership. I bought a car from Mark 2 years ago and it was a very easy process from ordering the car to picking it up. I service both my 328xi and M3 their and i have always been taken care of very well. The staff their is top notch.

rambalu80 · 10-05-2009, 03:44 PM

Never seen any dealership get such positive reviews!

E92-Lighting · 10-05-2009, 08:48 PM

you might get better responses in the state category

DonCorleone · 10-07-2009, 12:54 AM

I also bought my car from them about 2 years ago before they moved the dealership. I too have nothing bad to say about them. the new place is very nice and the service department is top notch. they give me a loaner everytime i take the car in. the only thing that sucks for me is that its about 40 minutes away which sucks, but that isnt their fault. I d def buy from them again if i buy another bmw.

bmwuser · 10-07-2009, 08:35 PM

I purchased my car from them about a month ago. Beautiful dealerahip, nothing bad to say about them. Before the BMW I had a MB from Sisson MB, that had severe rust problems. The car was out of warrrenty and the dealership would not stand behind it. People I know who had bought a MB from Rahal dealership in the Noth Hills said Rahal fixed the problems with no cost to the owner. That is 1 of the reasons when I was looking at BMW's I looked to Rahal. His dealerships seems to be customer orriented.I also know the new car manager is Bobby Rahal's nephnew.

DTM-POWER · 10-07-2009, 08:46 PM

Just bought my 330i there 2 nights ago actually!
Jason Emerick is a good man to deal with there.

Jason was actually my CA as well and he was great.

I bought mine at A&L in Monroeville and had a great experience with them. Rahal is nice too, I stopped there a few weeks ago just for a top off and was really impressed with the place. Service guys were friendly too.

wsybert · 10-10-2009, 01:07 PM

Co-worker bought an CPO '07 328xi a few months ago from Rahal, and has had nothing but good things to say about his experience. So good, that he bought an '06 CPO X5 two weeks later. He just had his 50k service done on the 328 and no issues with a loaner or the service.
