Strange number "+86 68962834". Asking what I drive now and if I'm going to be interested in buying or leasing anything in the next year. No idea how they got my number...probably filled out something online. I don't think they liked my answers... Just bought a '94 BMW, will almost certainly never own a new one. No, you can't have my email address.

I got a call from them too about 30 minutes ago. They asked if I planned on making a purchase in the upcoming year. Then they asked what I drove now and I said "an e30" and there was a long pause, then the operator said, "Is that a Saab?"

:rofl

I was hoping that they keep me on the line and ask more questions so I could mess with them, but that didn't happen.

They probably thought you said "C30".

You should have responded "Yes, probably the 2011 M5, can you set me up for a test drive please?"

pro tip.... they aren't actually BMWNA employees... they're a marketing firm, which explains why they don't know what an E30 is.

It's just a call centre that gets hired by BMWNA. I've been called 4 times, and they never actually manage to put my number on the DNC list... hmmm.

They probably know far more about Tata than BMW, Volvo or Saab.

When did you pick that up? I want an M6. I took the Shelby GT500 to the track and I hate it. It drives awesome... In a straight line! Haha. :eyecrazy Yeah I change cars frequently.
