Press freedom remained in a deep freeze under authoritarian leader Islam Karimov. The authorities continued to imprison critical journalists on lengthy terms. Muhammad Bekjanov, one of the two longest-imprisoned journalists in the world, was sentenced to an additional prison term just days before his scheduled release. The handful of independent journalists in the country faced politicized prosecution, censorship, and other forms of repression. The authorities permitted minimal Western media presence. A BBC journalist who broke a story on forced sterilization of Uzbek women was barred from entering the country in February. The authorities continued their practice of hiring "experts" to build fabricated criminal cases against journalists on charges ranging from national defamation to extremism. Using that tactic, prosecutors filed criminal cases against two independent reporters in 2012. The government's vast censorship practices earned it a place on CPJ's 10 Most Censored Countries list, published in May. The authorities aggressively expanded censorship during the year: The state communications agency was told to block websites deemed "threatening to the nation's information space"; the education ministry barred college students from visiting Internet cafés; and the government raided and seized control of the local branch of the Russian telecommunications company, MTS, causing up to 10 million Uzbeks to lose mobile Internet and phone access. In a July documentary, a state-owned broadcaster called online activism a weapon worse than bombs.
No independent media outlets are based in Uzbekistan, earning the nation a place on CPJ's 10 Most Censored Countries list. Independent journalists—mostly contributors to outlets outside the country—are subject to interrogation and prosecution under defamation charges or outdated statutes such as "insulting national traditions."
1. Eritrea
2. North Korea
3. Syria
4. Iran
5. Equatorial Guinea
6. Uzbekistan
7. Burma
8. Saudi Arabia
9. Cuba
|10. Belarus
Bekjanov, editor of the opposition newspaper Erk, and Yusuf Ruzimuradov, a reporter for the paper, are the longest-imprisoned journalists in the world, according to CPJ research. Convicted in 1999 on charges of publishing a banned newspaper, the two have been tortured while in custody, according to news accounts and reports from human rights defenders. Just before Bekjanov was scheduled to be released in January 2012, the authorities sentenced him to an additional five years in prison for allegedly violating unspecified prison rules.
|Years for Bekjanov, imposed in 1999, with an additional sentence in 2012
|Years for Ruzimuradov, imposed in 1999
|Years for Dilmurod Saiid, imposed in 2009
|Years for Salidzhon Abdurakhmanov, imposed in 2008
Independent journalists Elena Bondar and Viktor Krymzalov faced criminal prosecutions built by government-hired "experts," regional media reported. The journalists were charged on separate counts of mass disorder and insult that the "experts" reported finding in the commentaries published online. The reporters denied writing the pieces, but the courts convicted both, fining Bondar 6.3 million som (US$3,240) and Krymzalov 3.8 million som (US$1,950).
Journalist Elena Bondar, whose reporting was critical of the Karimov regime, went into exile in 2012. At least two other critical Uzbek journalists have also fled the country since 2007, CPJ research shows.

Frieze of American History
U.S. Capitol
The frieze in the Rotunda of the United States Capitol contains a painted panorama depicting significant events in American history. Thomas U. Walter's 1859 cross-section drawing of the new dome (constructed 1855-1863) shows a recessed belt atop the Rotunda walls with relief sculpture. Eventually it was painted in true fresco, a difficult and exacting technique in which the pigments are applied directly onto wet plaster. As the plaster cures the colors become part of the wall. Consequently, each section of plaster must be painted the day it is laid. The frieze is painted in grisaille, a monochrome of whites and browns that resembles sculpture. It measures 8 feet 4 inches in height and approximately 300 feet in circumference. It starts 58 feet above the floor.
The frieze is the work of three artists, Constantino Brumidi, Filippo Costaggini and Allyn Cox. It was designed by Brumidi, an Italian artist who studied in Rome before emigrating to America. Brumidi created a sketch for the Rotunda frieze in 1859 but was not authorized to begin work until 1877.

Safety Tips for the Summer Months
6 minutes
Summer is the perfect time to be in the U.S. and experience all of the cultural events that many towns and cities offer (often for free!) along with outdoor activities like biking, camping, hiking, and swimming. As you become more comfortable in your new town, you will probably be taking advantage of the longer days and warm nights and staying out later on your days off. We want all of our participants to be happy, healthy and safe while they are in the U.S., so we've gathered some safety tips along with reminders about some U.S. laws and rules that may be new to you.
Staying Out Late and Night Safety
One of the best parts about summer is being able to stay outside during the warm evenings and enjoying the activities that are offered in your community. When going out with friends or by yourself, make sure you are always aware of your surroundings and never walk alone late at night or in an empty area. Just as you would use common sense when staying out in the evenings in your home country, use the same rules for going about your new town in the U.S. Be even more cautious while in the U.S., as your surroundings are less familiar.
Let your host family, co-workers or housemates know your plans for the evening, and always make a plan to get home at night before you go out. Save telephone numbers for cabs and emergency contacts in case you need to call them, and try to travel in groups of three or more.
Drinking in the U.S.
Although you may be of legal drinking age in your home country, drinking age in the U.S. is 21. This is true in every state and is enforced strictly across the U.S. It is illegal for you to consume alcohol if you are under 21, no matter the circumstances.
Even if you are 21 years old, there are still very different drinking laws in the U.S. In most cities, you are not allowed to have open containers of alcohol outside of designated areas (bars, restaurants, outdoor patios and decks). When going to parks or beaches, you are sometimes allowed to bring alcohol, but most don't allow glass bottles or containers. Check online before you visit a park or beach to see what the laws are, but typically alcohol is not permitted.
Other laws involving alcohol can differ from state to state. Most have a drunken and disorderly law that prohibits inappropriate behavior in public. This can result in a fine and is socially not accepted. Please research all laws for your state and county and ask your Local Coordinator any questions you may have.
Driving Safety
Driving is an everyday activity throughout most of the U.S. Unless you live in an urban area where public transportation is readily available, you will probably need to drive. Driving laws vary by state, so make sure to study signs and local laws if you will be driving.
Never drive when you are talking or texting on your cell phone and limit changing radio stations or adjusting your music player. Many states have laws against talking and texting on cell phones while driving, but being distracted while driving is dangerous.
When driving somewhere late at night, make sure you aren't too tired. Many accidents at night happen when people drift off to sleep or have blurry vision from being too tired.
Drinking and driving is always illegal and always dangerous. Never drive after drinking and do not ride in a car with someone who has been drinking. If you are going out with friends, pick a designated driver who will not drink on that night to ensure everyone is safe. Research state drinking laws here.
Outdoors and Biking Safety
When biking, always wear a helmet. Avoid biking at night, but if you do, make sure your bike is equipped with lights. Use signals to alert drivers when you are turning, and use bike lanes and less-trafficked roads whenever possible.
When hiking, wear appropriate shoes, sunscreen, and bring plenty of water. Make sure to stay on marked trails, as these are meant to keep you away from dangerous areas in parks and will also help you avoid getting lost. Never go hiking alone. Read more about hiking safety here.
When visiting beaches and pools with friends or your host kids, always pick a spot with a lifeguard on duty, and do not swim in deeper water if you are not a strong swimmer. Always read signs for water safety and take precautions.
Extreme Weather
Many parts of the country experience extreme weather during the summer months. It is important to use common sense when experiencing extremely hot weather or severe storms. In hot weather, make sure you reapply sunscreen when outside and stay hydrated throughout the day.
Severe storms can pop up very quickly in some parts of the country. If flash floods, lightning or strong winds in your area, follow the safety instructions available on public television and radio stations and don't drive or go outside during these times.
Because you are new to the area and may be less familiar with the climate and geography of your new community (i.e. which areas flood quickly and how to get to higher ground). Always ask your host family or Local Coordinator for advice. You can also read more safety guidelines for severe weather here.
Safety While Traveling
When traveling around the U.S., it is important to follow the highway and traffic rules for the state you are in. When driving and visiting rural areas, stay close to roads or on trails and don't wander into restricted areas.
You can find out more about driving laws by state here.
When visiting a new area or city, using common sense is important. Don't go anywhere with people you don't know, always travel in groups of friends when going out at night, and always let someone know where you are.
Just like in every city around the world, visitors should be extra careful when exploring a new place. Avoid becoming a victim of a crime by staying smart and close to friends. Also, let your host family and Local Coordinator know where you will be, the number of your hotel and at least one number of a travel companion so they can check in on you while you are gone. To find out more about traveling safely alone and safety recommendations for women travelers, click here.
Many of these safety tips are what you would do in your home country. Being smart about your surroundings and using common sense are the best ways to keep yourself safe and healthy during your time in the U.S.
Being in a new country and meeting new people is a fantastic opportunity, so we encourage you to make the most of your time in the U.S. You'll have a much better time when you're well prepared with knowledge of the laws of the state and community where you live in the U.S., the local emergency numbers and common phrases in English you might need in an emergency.

Bomb threat scares town after mass shooting as gun debate continues
- 'Our hearts and prayers go out for them'
- Facts for a debate America has to have
- Weighing the price of gun freedom
- 'There are bad guys out there'
The atrocity in Newtown continues to bring out the very best and worst in people.
As hundreds of mourners gathered for a mass on Sunday morning at the St Rose of Lima Catholic Church, the church affiliated with Sandy Hook Primary School, a bomb threat forced armed police to charge into the church and evacuate the stunned congregation.
At the time, Carol Tomassetti, a local woman in her 40s, was braving the cold rain outside, handing out teddy bears and soft toys that had been given to a local fire department by an anonymous donor from Rhode Island, who wanted pass on some comfort to each of the children of Newtown.
"I saw this Newtown Police car charge in and I thought why is he driving like a maniac," said Ms Tomassetti, a local designer.
She then saw State Police armed with semi-automatic rifles running towards her, shouting for the group to "get out".
Mourners began streaming in tears from the church, as Ms Tomassetti and the other volunteers packed up their soft toys and moved to one of Newtown's makeshift shrines, where they continued to hand out the soft toys.
As many Americans turned to their churches to find comfort and answers in the wake of the mass killing in Connecticut, gun control remains a central theme of discussion.
The Dean of the National Cathedral in Washington DC, Gary Hall, asked in his sermon this morning: "Why do we as a society tolerate these massacres in increasing numbers? …
What does it say about us as a society that we continue to tolerate so much violence against children? What does it say about us, as a community of human beings, that we are willing to put our children (not to mention their teachers) in so much jeopardy?
"If you stand back from it for a minute, you realise that our continued shared tolerance of this violence directed against our children is insane."
Gun control was widely addressed on Sunday morning political programs that help set the nation's weekly agenda, with many agreeing that at the very least the horror of last Friday's shooting would prompt a more serious debate than the country has engaged in for some years.
One prominent congressman believed arming teachers would be a better solution to the violence than gun control.
"I wish to god she [Sandy Hook elementary principal Dawn Hochsprung] had had an m-4 in her office, locked up so when she heard gunfire, she pulls it out ... and takes him out and takes his head off before he can kill those precious kids," the Texan Republican congressman Louis Gohmert said on Fox News.
(An M-4 is similar weapon to the military-style semi automatic rifle used to kill Newtown's children.)
He said it was important that Americans remained well armed to prevent government tyranny.
Gohmert was in conversation with the prominent Fox anchor Chris Wallace, whose line of questioning suggested he was not entirely sympathetic to the Congressman.
Discussing the issue in a panel moments later the conservative commentator William Kristol, founder and editor of the Weekly Standard, a leading conservative journal, said he believed the massacre had made a serious debate over gun control – perhaps in the form of a senate commission – inevitable. Though he said he doubted policy reform could be effective in reducing gun deaths.
Other panelists said it now appeared that debate was no longer an option, and a "fed up" section of the American community would demand immediate action.
Meanwhile, a staffer from NBC's Meet the Press program revealed that producers contacted 31 pro-gun senators to invite them onto their program but none agreed.
A petition demanding legislative change on the White House's "We the People" website, which encourages democratic participation by guaranteeing an official response to any petition that collects more than 25,000 signatures, has already been signed by 118,000 people.
In Newtown, details of exactly what happened inside the elementary school remain sketchy, with police refusing to release or even confirm most details until they have completed their investigation.
What is known with some certainty is that the killer arrived at the school at around 9.30 am on Friday morning and shot his way through the front door, circumventing a security system that requires visitors to be buzzed.
"He penetrated the building by literally shooting an entrance into the building. That's what an assault weapon can do for you." Said Connecticut's governor, Dan Malloy
Once inside it is thought Sandy Hook's principal Dawn Hochsprung, school psychologist Mary Sherlach ran towards him and were shot dead.
During a media briefing police spokesman Lt Paul Vance would not confirm this information, which has been described by witness, but did confirm the shootings were conducted in one corridor and two classrooms.
It is believed that Lanza entered first one and then a second classroom, firing around 100 rounds during a killing spree that may have lasted just eight minutes.
"We surmise that it was during the second classroom episode that he heard responders coming and apparently at that decided to take his own life," Governor Malloy told ABC's This Week.
On Saturday in Newtown the medical examiner reported he believed all the victims suffered more multiple gunshot wounds.
The President, Barack Obama, is due to arrive in Newtown later today to attend a service and spend time with the victims' families.
Nick O'Malley is National Environment and Climate Editor for The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. He is also a senior writer and a former US correspondent.

Don't get stuck with old backup ideas: Best Practices
The time has come to shed your traditional, compartmentalized view of backup and embrace a recovery-centric data management focus.
| Backup may have been around forever, but it sure looks different these days.
Data backup is as old as computing itself. Ever since the first paper tapes and punch-card decks were duplicated, IT admins have recognized the need for multiple copies to guard against the unexpected. But even in the days of batch computing, accomplishing this task presented the ever-familiar challenges of resource constraints, limited time to accomplish the backup and managing multiple copies.
Until recently, the basic nature of backup has remained largely a batch-oriented tape management process. Magnetic tape, evolving for decades in terms of speed, capacity and reliability, was the core technology that enabled offsite and long-term storage of backed up data at an affordable price point.
The transition to LAN-based backup in the late '80s and early '90s brought economies of scale and improved the manageability of the backup process. No longer was it necessary to arm each server with a dedicated tape drive or enlist armies of tape jockeys to load/retrieve tapes.
With network-based backup came the rise of robotic tape libraries and commercial client/ server backup apps. Before then, backup was most commonly performed by system utilities that were often provided with the OS. Commercial apps like Legato (now EMC) NetWorker, OpenVision (now Symantec's Veritas) NetBackup and IBM ADSM (now IBM Tivoli Storage Manager) led the way and captured the lion's share--roughly 70%, according to research firm Gartner Inc.--of the enterprise backup market.
Readers of this magazine are well aware of the current technology revolution underway in the field of data protection and recovery. As disk (in its many guises) plays an increasingly prominent role in the process, the backup app is changing as never before, and it's important to consider its impact on recovery management.
The forces driving the underlying need for change in the backup realm include:
The end of backup software?
At the same time, the range of available options for data recovery expanded well beyond backup to the point that, for many organizations, restoring from tape has become their option of last resort.
This world of recovery possibilities, enabled by disk technology, is pushing backup apps into a new role. Backup apps are evolving as the central entity for managing the multiple means by which disk is used for recovery. This includes:
Snapshot management: Snapshots and split mirrors have long been used to facilitate the backup of key apps. Beyond improving backup, many environments snapshot throughout the day and retain snapshots. In most cases, they're managed independent of backup.
Replication: Like snapshots, replication has become an important recovery mechanism, particularly for disaster recovery, and needs to be included in any comprehensive recovery management capability.
Virtual tape libraries (VTLs) as intelligent disk: For large tape environments, tape emulation remains the simplest and least disruptive means of leveraging disk, and VTL vendors are working to enrich their feature sets beyond just emulation. However, functions performed outside of the awareness of the backup app (e.g., replication) can often create confusion when it comes to recovery and overall data recovery management.
Deduplication: Deduplication has created opportunity and confusion. It's a technology that can be performed at the client, server, within a NAS appliance or in a VTL. Backup applications must be able to accommodate any of those approaches and often more than one at a time.
Continuous data protection (CDP): Like deduplication, CDP is a technology that takes a number of forms. In some cases, it exists as a standalone technology, but its real value is as an integrated element of a tiered recovery strategy, and it should be managed as such.
Enhanced application recovery: In some cases, disk can be used to simplify and improve recovery capabilities for environments like VMware and apps such as Exchange and SharePoint with both volume-level and granular object recovery available from a single backup.
Products evolve with service features
Veritas NetBackup (with Version 6.5 and beyond) is becoming well-positioned as a multifaceted data recovery manager. Support for a wide range of snapshot technologies, and its OpenStorage API for integration of intelligent disk functionality, bode well for the future. Also adding to its versatility is software-based deduplication through the PureDisk option and support for the recently announced CDP-based RealTime Protection.
A key enhancement on the management side is the notion of Storage Lifecycle Policies that enable automated business-oriented management of the multiple copies of data that might exist in various forms. For example, it's possible to establish a policy that snapshots a file and then copies it to a deduplicated storage device and an offsite tape, each with a different retention time. The data movement and subsequent expiration is fully automated; in its latest incarnation, Storage Lifecycle Policies support a variety of snapshot technologies as well as CDP.
IBM Tivoli Storage Manager (TSM) can be considered the "granddaddy" of commercial disk-based backup products, as it was originally designed to support the hierarchical movement of storage across various media. TSM supports a wide range of disk functionality like snapshots within the IBM portfolio, as well as selected third-party support. With regard to management functionality, as a member of the Tivoli management portfolio, it offers a number of enhancements through related products (like Tivoli Storage Process Manager) to provide ITIL-based operational processes.
EMC has been extremely active in the data recovery realm with the acquisition of a range of companies dealing with backup, CDP and data deduplication. NetWorker has become an integration focal point for these and other technologies. The result is a rich set of support for snapshot technologies through a variety of PowerSnap modules, as well as support for EMC's Avamar deduplication backup product and RecoverPoint CDP offering. A dashboard management console lets users view and drill down through many of these components.
Looking beyond the three giants, one relative newcomer, CommVault, has managed to make inroads in enterprise data recovery. Taking advantage of not having to support the historic product legacy of its competition, its design focus has been on multifaceted data management and recovery; its Simpana suite integrates backup, archiving and snapshot, as well as keyword search and retrieval within a common management framework.
As more disk-based recovery alternatives are adopted, the coordinated management of multisource recovery will continue to increase in importance. A logical place to look for this to coalesce is within the backup application. It's important for organizations to understand their vendor's strength and direction in this area. The time has come to shed the traditional, compartmentalized view of backup and embrace a recovery-centric data management focus. To do otherwise would mean standing still.

I did not feel the pressure that often comes with making a big decision. Jim is a good man - a patient, kind and caring. I'm glad I met him and I know I'll be going back to Jim in a few years - BMW better have a good electric vehicle to take it to Tesla by then!
As a foreign which arrived in CT couple weeks ago, it could be much harder to buy a car, however Jim Scheckter made it to be smooth. Everything went well and as promised. Thanks for the sales and financial/credit team .
Great job. Answered all of my questions. Knowledgeable. Would definitely use in the future. Made the car purchasing process easy and streamlined. Went over the vehicle in great detail.
Not a car guy so a knowledgable salesman was wonderful - Jim explained all aspects in a way I could understand, explained differences between car options but best was knowledge of other vehicles. It was an honest explanation and helped me make a decision. Bought a different model than I walked into wanting. It was low key yet answered everything. Vincent was professional, clear and made sure I understood all the numbers. It was a truly enjoyable process. How many people can say that about buying a car!
I had a really great car buying experience at BMW of Darien. Jim was extremely helpful in walking me through the inventory they have and that fits to my wishes. He walked my through all the information I need to have (Carfax, Maintenance History, etc.), explained everything very well and helped me through the whole process. I highly recommend him and BMW of Darien. Thanks Jim!
Jim was great!! His service and expertise was excellent..." Jim was great!! His service and expertise was excellent from searching and eventually purchasing our vehicle. Anderson in Finance was also excellent via explaining and executing for the car.

My experience with Jim Scheckter was and is amazing. He was and is so knowledgeable but he also cares a ton. Not only did he sell me a car that I love he invited me back multiple times to make sure I know it as well as him.
Great sales men Jim was great he treated me and my daughter great Kept his word a real gentleman Bridgeport bmw was the worst I would never go back there
Excellent service department. Excellent communication. Prompt, professional, knowledgeable and courteous from dropping off to picking up vehicle. Updates provided on status of vehicle. Highly recommend.
High level professionalism and honesty. The personal Provides valuable recommendations and cost efficient options in selecting the vehicle of your dream. Fast ordering process and delivery.
Jim found us the right car at the right price within 30 minutes of our arrival at the dealership and we were able to close the deal within 24 hours to get our new car in time for Christmas! Thanks Jim.
Jim Scheckter was excellent from the first phone engagement to the getting the car on order. BMW of Darien continues to be my fist stop when looking for a new car.
Jim was incredibly helpful with the entire car purchase process, from beginning to end. He explained everything clearly and followed up as promised. We would definitely work with him again! Thanks, Jim!
Following the smooth process to purchase our first car from Jim, we decided to buy our second car from Jim too. He has been super helpful and secured us a fantastic deal and a beautiful car. Top class customer service from Jim as usual, highly recommended! Thank you Jim and thank you BMW Darien!
I had excellent experience of buying the car, and Jim has been great throughout the entire process. He is knowledgeable, helpful and always great with the response time. He helped me to get a beautiful car and made the process very easy. Thank you, Jim, and thank you to BMW of Darien!
Jim has been great through out the entire lease process. He is helpful, knowledgable, pleasant to work with and responsive. He listened to our needs and worked hard to find the optimal solution. Despite the fact that we only recently relocated from the UK to the US he still managed to make the process work via the international executive programme. Thank you Jim and thank you BMW!
The whole experience of buying a new car and having trust was very important to me. Jim helped me get a great deal on a beautiful car. I'm loving my car. Thank you!
We had a great time buying our first BMW at Darien. Jim helped us with deciding the car and gave us multiple options for financing which helped us make the right decision. Jim Is very reasonable and pleasant to deal with and giving us advise about multiple aspects of the car. It was a positive experience.
Had positive service experiences with my last car, so decided to buy my next one there despite living in Westchester, NY. Overall the sales process was solid and would recommend.
Jim Scheckter is my client advisor and he was just great! Zero pressure with maximum dedication to the customer. Jim really makes you feel: o You the customer are first o the dealership is second o Jim is last (the sign of a great consumer advocate) I purchased my fully loaded 2015 435i X-drive w/ 64,000 miles and w/o a CPO. Jim explained how it is not CPO eligible because it is over 60,000 miles However, Darien preped the car as if it was CPO. They installed brand new tires on it. Resurfaced the chipped up wheels (at $250/wheel that Darien didn't pass on to me). Installed new tires and cleaned & polished inside and out. It essentially was a $59K MSRP car @ 59% off from new or $650 below NADA Retail. (NADA books are commonly found at your local library and used to figure the value of a car by government agencies). Final numbers: o Original MSRP: $58,950 o NADA Retail: $24,750 (condition = great w/mileage & having no CPO deducted) o NADA Trade-In: $21,675 (condition = great w/mileage & having no CPO deducted) o Asking used price: $21,975 + $799 conveyance fee ($200 of which is non-taxable DMV/gov't fees) I paid the full asking price because Darien was already selling the car underpriced and offering to fix (at n/c) every little scratch. (The Audi dealership was $5K overpriced on an similar A5 2-door manual-trans coup that I was in the market for.) BMW of Darien is unlike any other dealership I've experienced before! Although I normally and successfully negotiate the car prices down, I told Jim this isn't necessary as the price is already below NADA retail by $650 + I've got a 60-day dealership warranty + valuable freebie's like new tires, resurfaced rims, etc. Thanks Jim and BMW of Darien!

Came from another dealership in Westchester, NY which left me a hanging. Went to BMW of Darien where I spotted my dream car which I didn't plan to purchase that same day, The team at Darien was exceptional and very friendly! Jim took great care of me without doing the pushy salesman pitch. He answered all my questions and really took the time to go over every detail. I felt really at ease buying an amazing car and we closed the deal that same day, Jim took care of everything and made the transaction and process a breeze and painless. Great thanks to Anthony as well who is very thorough and organized! Highly recommended!
I recently leased a BMW from BMW of Darien and can confidently say it was the best deal in the entire New England / Tri-State area, thanks to Jim. While it took some time for my car to be delivered, Jim was professional and helpful throughout the entire process. The day I finalized and picked up my lease was efficient and hassle-free. The process was so smooth, I was in and out in less than an hour! I would recommend Jim and BMW of Darien.
We recently purchased a BMW from BMW of Darien, we worked with Jim and had a very easy, stress free experience. He made everything go smoothly and was very accommodating. We are happy with the car and would return to this dealership for our next car purchase!
Jim was courteous, great customer service and no pressure at all during my pre-owned vehicle purchase. He was there along the way to help in any way possible and made the experience one of the best ones I've had at a dealership. BMW of Darien was overall a great experience!
Excellent all around sales and I should mention service team, started working with them because of their service department and did my new lease here as well, accommodating, helpful and professional all around
Jim was very helpful and enjoyed purchasing my car through him. I purchased a 2019 X5 and couldnt be happier. Jim was upfront and honest. Also first car i bought in darien despite being on my 5th bmw. His professionalism and responsiveness was no joke. very prompt with any questions. Would recommend to my friends!!
I enjoyed working with Jim to purchase my 2020 M2 Competition. Jim was honest and fair. Great knowledge of the car and it capabilities. He promptly returned phone calls and patiently answered all my questions. His professionalism was excellent!!!
Jim was very helpful. I am happy that I got my first car from this dealership. I will recommend my friends for their first car too.
Everyone was friendly and polite. Our salesman was responsive to our questions and located the car we wanted in a timely fashion. It was a pleasant experience.
Our family has been leasing luxury cars for a number of years. When our leases come up we don't look forward to the process of selecting a new vehicle because we find that salespeople at car dealerships tend to be aggressive. So it surprised us when we met Jim Scheckter, who is extremely knowledgeable and presented us with numerous options, after taking a while to listen to our needs. We appreciated his low key approach and going out of his way to find us the perfect vehicle. Friendly and serviceful, he's sure to be considered first when we need to replace our next vehicle. The dealership is easily accessible, spotless and the staff is friendly. By far, the best experience we've had when leasing a new car.
BMW of Darien was super convenient and made it easy to shop for a new car. They valued my time and delivered to whatever I asked of them. Very good experience. Highly recommend.
My husband and I walked into BMW of Darien feeling a bit iffy, because dealership experiences haven't always been the best. But we were lucky that our salesperson was Jim - he was AMAZING! This was our first BMW experience, so we knew nothing about the cars or the models. Jim spent the entire saturday afternoon walking us through the details of the cars and answering our million questions. Instead of trying to sell us the car, he was just being there for us and that made us feel very comfortable in making our choice. He was upfront about all the fees and options that were available to us and at no point did he force us down a path. He made sure that we got the price and the features we wanted and the entire process was so smooth! I highly recommend working with Jim, because with him, you can be rest assured that you are in good hands and he will look out for you. In fact, one of the main reasons we chose to get the car from BMW of Darien is because we were very happy with our experience with Jim - You rock :)
Great experience.... didn't feel any pressure to buy.....Salesman Jim Scheckter was very good, knowledgeable and passionate about cars and the Franchise. . I was also impressed with Anthony who handled a small problem when going through paperwork quickly and well.
We walked into BMW Darien to look at a wagon we had seen on the internet.... and walked out of the dealership having put down a deposit (with no pressure from Jim). Jim let my husband and me both drive the car down country roads, was responsive in presenting our offer and our trade-in, answered all of our questions, and made sure that when we picked up the car it was in perfect condition. He continues to answer our questions and is always available to us. Jim is a straight-shooter, thoroughly knowledgable in all aspects of BMWs and cars, and makes the whole process of buying a car easy and fun. We love our BMW Sports Wagon, and Jim is one of the reasons!
This was my first car purchase in almost 18 years. Jim made the process very easy. He found the perfect car for me and facilitated the process seamlessly. I still call on Jim for assistance and he has been very responsive. I noticed a small chip in the paint the day after my delivery and called Jim. He arranged the repair without issue! All the staff is cordial and helpful. I live in New York, just over 20 miles from Darien and although I have a dealership right down the street from me, I will continue to utilize BMW of Darien for future service.
Let's face it, car shopping can be a daunting and stressful experience, especially for a used vehicle. I went to several dealerships before I stopped in at BMW of Darien traveling from NYC. BMW dealerships in Brooklyn and NJ were unwilling to negotiate on vehicle prices and gave laughable trade-in offers. When I made a stop at BMW of Darien, I was not pressured to purchase - in fact, Jim treated me with professionalism and allowed me to drive the vehicle in a spirited manner even before taking down my information. After 30 minutes of inspecting and driving the vehicle, Jim made a deal for both the trade-in and the purchase. I left the dealership extremely happy and Jim took care of everything for me. The little details matter the most - I asked for an extra set of keys; he made it happen. I asked for weather mats; he made it happen. I asked if I can pick up the car the next morning; he made sure the vehicle was prepped and ready to go. I'll be coming back for my next vehicle purchase and service needs. Great staff and dealership.
As my lease was coming up for renweal (from a different dealership), Jim was persistent in reaching out to me to get my business. He worked hard and ultimately was the person who got the deal. He was responsive and focused on providing me with a good customer experience. If you're looking for a car, give Jim a call.
We dealt with Jim Scheckter to lease a new X3. We drove to Darien from Long Island for a specific vehicle they had on the lot. Jim made the experience simple and easy. He knew we were coming from a distance and was so accommodating with the scheduling. I would recommend him to anyone and will use him again myself as my wife wants to drive the amazing X7.
I had the pleasure to meet few people at this dealer. Jim Scheckter was the salesperson that helped to get my vehicle. I appreciate his help by getting my vehicle before the due date he promises me. After I got my car they followed up and keep helping me with anything I need and making sure that I was satisfied and the vehicle was working perfectly fine for me. I definitely recommend this dealer and their employees.
I purchased a used vehicle from BMW Darien with Jim's help. He was extremely knowledgeable and well informed about the vehicle and very focused on ensuring that I was comfortable with the process. I would recommend him based not only on his knowledge his commitment to client satisfaction.
Jim Scheckter was excellent in helping us choose our new lease car. He is very knowledgeable and patient. And, very service oriented and friendly. I would absolutely refer him to others.
Very service oriented! There was no sales hustle or pressure. They took. whatever time needed to explain the car's features. In the Covid environment, They thoroughly cleaned the inside of the car before turning it over to me
Went and purchased an BMW X1 for my wife , the Treatment and smoothness of the transaction made me want to trade in my car -Which I did ! Got a 2017 X3 , Yussef and Anderson were Great ( No Surprises ) Have already recommended Darien BMW to others. Frank Concepcion
Very professional and straightforward sales and finance departments. Yussef and Anderson made my first experience buying a car very easy and hassle free. I'm very happy with the car I drove away with and would recommend BMW of Darien to anyone in the market for a luxury car.
I was extremely fortunate to have had Yussef Warde as my dealer at BMW of Darien. He is proactive, honest, helpful, and efficient. He knows BMW vehicles really well, is an excellent representative of the dealership, and is eager to please his customer. He made the transaction easy and seamless. The original reason for my visit was to service my prior vehicle (which Frank Ciardullo handled very professionally!) but Yussef's plain-speaking, easygoing, and candid style coupled with his attention to things that mattered to me made me realize that a trade was the way to go. And the delivery process was very smooth, thanks to Anderson Cherelius. He was a true professional. Having purchased may cars previously, I know how slow and "salesy" the finance personnel can be when explaining maintenance plans, tire plans, and the like. Anderson carefully provided all the facts for each of those programs but was not at all pushy and was a pleasure to deal with. Many thanks to Yussef, Frank and Anderson for a terrific car-buying experience.
The absolute best car buying experience in my life. Yussef took good care of us. There was zero stress. Thank you so much for all your time and attention. Nydia Concepcion
Very professional and efficient staff makes being a customer very pleasant. The facility is first class and they cover all the issues that are pertinent. I have been a custom since the late 1990's
Yussef is the reason I purchased another BMW. He's easy to work with, listens, rarely tired of my questions and routinely took the time to say hi when I came in for service appointments for my last car. I also appreciated that Tom would step out of his office to see how things were going (and not just to close a deal). Anthony also spent the time to provide his thoughts during a visit prior to picking up the car. All of this really does make a difference.
Those four words in the title are the only ingredients I look for in a car dealership, and BMW of Darien provides them in spades! I am not from Connecticut, so they took detailed pictures of the car I was considering, and went out of their way to make sure that when I arrive after a long trip, my expectations were met with the car I'd hoped for! Above and beyond, and Yussef is one of the few BMW salespeople who knows as much at BMWs as just about anyone (including me).
Traded in my 2008 BMW for a preowned certified 2015 model. Website was fantastic describing the car with all of the features, mileage, Carfax history, pricing and a video. Yussef was the salesman I dealt with and he was great and easy to work with. The trade-in value was fair and we completed a transaction quickly and I was in the car in two days. High compliments to the website detailing the used car inventory, Yussef and the entire team at Darien BMW. I highly recommend this dealership and Yussef.
Highly recommend this dealership in every way. I was very well taken care of by Yussef Warde, who carefully explained all my options to me (buy v lease), was clear, patient, helpful and provided quick and accurate regular updates as we organized the deal. Everything about this place is first class. No "sales" feeling, just service and informatoin. Incredibly polite staff and Yuseff is the most professional person I have dealt with. Highly recommended!
We recently purchased a pre owned 4 series gran coupe. Youssef was our salesman ,(whom we highly recommend).He was very attentive and professional and followed through with everything he promised us. Al and Anthony the business manager were also very nice and helpful.The dealership is beautiful and they are all willing to help in any way. The process was very easy from beginning to end as they really take care of everything for you. I definitely recommend buying a vehicle from this dealership!
Excellent service, kniwledge, courteous, and concern for my satisfaction Yusef Ward put my interests and concerns st the forefront Spent several visits with him regarding my purchase I was not rushed to make a decision. All my questions were answered in a polite and well informed manner.
My client advisor, Yussef Warde, was both professional and efficient. His knowledge of the BMW and his technological expertise are amazing! I find buying or leasing new cars to be overwhelming --- Mr. Warde made this a smooth and anxiety free experience for me. I will definitely buy/lease my next car using him as my advisor.
I recently purchased a used 2013 Fiat 500 Abarth and was very impressed with BMW Of Darien. When I walked in I was immediately attended to which I find is not always the case at a luxury car dealership. The staff felt very customer oriented and willing to work with me on any concerns I had about my purchase. They went out of their way to make me feel like I was buying a new car which I very much appreciated. I thought everyone was very fair and straight forward through the whole process and even though I wasn't buying an expensive car, I never once felt like an afterthought to their sales department which I think speaks a great deal about their customer service. I'd highly recommend anyone looking for a BMW(or any used car on their lot) to stop by for a great car buying experience. Thanks, Chris
Wow! My salesperson actually did everything he said he was going to do. The pickup of my new car went as smoothly as it could have. This was my best car experience in decades.
Rony was so wonderful to me and wonderful to work with, I highly recommend him if you are looking for a BMW. Chris was wonderful showing me my new car, stepped in last minute to help Rony out! Thanks again for everything.
I was so impressed with my experience at BMW of Darien, they are truly a customer first dealership. Rony Gonzalez was delightful to work with. He was professional, followed-up on all of my questions in a timely manner, including on his day off. Rony truly worked to delight his client and ensure that I was able to find a car that met all of my needs. I look forward to working with him again for a future car purchase.
Excellent experience with BMW if Darien. The sales experience was remarkably straightforward and the sell/lease price was very reasonable and fair. Picking up the car was seamless. I would recommend this dealership very strongly.
Just picked up my 4th BMW over the past 10 years, BMW Darien, incredible sales & services teams! The best. Thank you Rony Gonzalez and Anthony Martinez!
It was a very Welcoming Experience. Tiny Gonzalez was a vey good Salesman. Of all the BMW dealerships this location was by far the best
I had a great experience with this dealership and staff. The process was extremely smooth and fast as well as stress free. I highly recommend BMW of Darien.
We had the best experience ever leasing our BMW X3 at BMW of Darien. Rony was very knowledgeable and the process hassle free. Thank you!
The team at BMW of Darien was a pleasure to deal with. They were thorough in their explanations and very transparent in their communication and disclosure.
Very nice and helpful. I'd recommend him for anyone coming in to buy a car. He has a lot of patience too. Thank you
Rony was so wonderful to me and wonderful to work with, I highly recommend him if you are looking for a BMW. Chris was wonderful showing me my new car, stepped in last minute to help Rony out! Thanks again for everything.
Amazing dealership. Worked with Chris Quaglio. He was very professional, insightful, and helpful throughout my car buying process. I was able to set up a quick meeting with him, he took hours out of his day, showing me all the vehicles on the lot that interested me. He took his time answering all questions I had, or showing how to use certain functions of the car I wanted. He was able to locate the vehicle in a very timely manner. I highly recommend others to check out Darien BMW and make sure you ask for Chris!
Low pressure knowledgeable sales people. Fair on trade-in values. Good guy in finance department executing leases. Clean and comfortable lounge area. I would buy from them again.
I had a great car buying experience here. Tim made the whole process super simple and easy and then Anderson in finance got me through the paperwork portion very fast. Overall would recommend Tim as well as everyone involved to anyone looking to buy a car painlessly!
Tim was great! Very helpful and accommodating with a high level of expertise - he made the process painless. I highly recommend him and BMW. Thanks Tim!
They were very honest and got me right in when I had an issue with my radio. I highly recommend them they are honest and trustworthy and not looking to upsell you anything.
Excellent customer service! Didnt need to be at the dealership all day to get a great price on the car I loved. very responsive sales associate.
Leased an X3 and turned in my wife's prior leased X3. Very pleasant as far as these things go. Another dealership had told us, repeatedly, that my the bar system for our ski box would not fit on the new BMW. That was proven wrong at Darien within minutes saving me that annoyance of yet another set of bars for our Thule Box. Overall Tim and his colleagues made the experience as pleasant and hassle free as possible.
This review is far overdue. Tim Haines is excellent. I have dealt with Tim on two acquisitions and a trade-in. In each case I felt completely confident he worked with me as well as he could to secure a favorable pricing. He's honest, earnest, knowledgeable, professional and very personable. I don't need to shop around with other dealers to trust that I am getting the best value possible. Given the choice, I would only ever work with Tim. As for services ... as I was writing this message I was on the phone with the dealership looking to schedule a service appointment, which they provided the next morning, with a loaner. That cannot be beat. .
My experience with the BMW dealership of Darien was wonderful. I came in not knowing what to expect but they made my transaction as smooth and painless as possible. Great job team!
Purchased a new BMW X5. Tim underpromised and overdelivered, esp in terms of timing. He was very clear in terms of extras, pricing, and customer fit Excellent experience.
Just a quick note to commend Tim Haines for his exceptional customer service as a BMW Sales Professional. Through my interactions with Tim, he went "above and beyond" during the sales process. I have purchased many cars over the years and Tim joins a select few sales associates that have exceeded my expectations as a customer. I would recommend both Tim and BMW of Darien for your next purchase.
The dealership handled the entire experience in an extremely professional and courteous manner. From the test drive through actually taking delivery of the care was pleasure. I would recommend this dealership to everyone.
Ten years ago we were in the market for a second car. A radio announcement about BMW of Darien occurred as we were driving. "Let's go", my wife said. We ended up buying a pre-owned 328xi sedan and met some of the most dedicated car people. We are now on our third BMW from this dealer and the extra miles driving to Darien from Scarsdale, NY are well worth it. From sales to service everyone could not be more helpful and accommodating. We'll stay with BMW of Darien for our future BMW's.
Worked with Beverly on a preowned vehicle. She was helpful, positive and not pushy in anyway. She and Anthony resolved all my questions during the purchase process and made this an excellent experience.
This is the second time I lease a vehicle from BMW of Darien, each time the experience was flawless from the negotiating phase where Beverly really worked with me on understanding my needs and trying to come up with creative solutions to the pickup experience which is always painless. I know I will be coming back in 3 years for my next vehicle.
Great experience with this dealership. I just bought a pre owned off lease 2015 X3 yesterday. Kudos to my sales associate Beverly Clarke for keeping the process simple and customer centric. I am impressed. Try this dealership if you are in the Fairfield county and looking for a BMW.
I took to the internet since the experience with this dealership was such a bad one. With the exception of Anthony in finance, the rest of the people I worked with were unprofessional and disrespectful. Anthony was a gentleman.
Beverly Clarke is polished and professional. She worked to understand & address my vehicle needs, making sure that all my questions were properly addressed. She even stood outside with me holding paint samples, so that I could envision how the car would look. I looked long and hard at Audi (not going to wait months to have the car I wanted built) and Mercedes (ultra rude salesman). I ordered my X5 exactly as I wanted it & it was delivered in 3 weeks!! I'm convinced that I purchased the best car (at a very good price) from a dealership that treated me with respect. I'll be back to see Beverly for my next car!
Beverly Clarke helped me lease two cars in the past couple of years. She is so kind hearted and fought hard for the best deal. My family and I could not have asked for a better person & dealership. If you want the best deal with smooth service, call Darien and ask for Beverly!
I had been looking for a 5 series wagon, 2010. We are wagon people. One popped up on their website so I called and spoke to Beverly. I told her I would be driving from New Haven and that I would be there in an hour. It actually took two because of the snow and a late start. When I arrived, the car was RUNNING, WARM, and CLEAN. Beverly was no nonsense and easy to get along with. On the test drive I was distracted and missed the exit. No big deal. While I was driving the wagon, they appraised my trade in and after maybe 20 minutes of haggling, we had a deal. I know I would lose money on my trade, but they did better than the national Goliath and took something off the new car too. I think most buyers go into a dealership knowing exactly what they want and don't need a long winded explanation of all the great features the car has. This is the internet age. Maybe the over 70 crowd needs that, but the rest of the population has their mind made up when they walk in the door. If the numbers work, and its time to buy, the deal gets done. Beverly was fantastic. Through intuition she deduced a) that I have kids (booster seat) and b) that I don't have a good umbrella (broken umbrella in back seat of my trade in). So, she brought me a box with a new umbrella and a nice plush teddy bear, and even gave me a set of rubberized winter floor mats. She told me to go next door and have some lunch while they drafted the paperwork and shortly after I returned, everything was signed with the finance guy and I was on my way home. Beverly was the highlight of my visit. She took me seriously and delivered. In my search for a vehicle, I have been to no fewer than 6 BMW and Mercedes dealerships and was barely spoken to at any of them. I don't know if its my age or my appearance, but no one seems to think I can afford a car. That's fine. When I found a salesperson that did take me seriously, I repaid her respect by buying from her without really haggling over a few dollars. The finance guy was a little brusque and showed no consideration for his fellow employee who made the sale.
Beverly Clarke is highly professional and knowledgeable. An excellent experience, start to finish. The organization is first rate. I would recommend Beverly and BMW Darien without reservation.
My partner and I have dealt with many car salespersons in the past, and Beverly Clarke was by far the best we've ever dealt with. The entire experience -- over the course of a couple of weeks -- Beverly was responsive and reachable. We knew what kind of BMW we wanted but Beverly helped us understand all aspects of our choice as well as examples in different classes that had some of the things we wanted. Very knowledgable and a pleasure to work with. We when we actually bought the vehicle and signed all the papers she was multi-tasking with another customer -- but you couldn't tell. Excellent experience.
My wife and I searched the tri-state area for a nice and affordable 4WD vehicle. We came across a great car on the BMW of Darien web-site. Convincing ourselves that the first car we looked at could not have been the best deal in the area, we kept searching. Our conclusion was that the deal we found at the BMW of Darien was by far the best around. We went in twice to look at the vehicle. Beverly Clarke was excellent answering all of our questions. She was never pushy and was great to communicate with via e-mail even after hours! Al Ewert was equally great settling on a price and Anthony Martinez made the paper work a synch. The entire team was great. I am confident that we were sold a great car that fit our price range and that we were provided with all the necessary facts to make our decision.
Even though I live in Greenwich, I'm glad I took the time to visit BMW of Darien. Sales Associate Beverly Clarke found me an X1 that had the options I was looking for all the way down in Georgia. However, when we were unable to locate that vehicle, business manager Anthony Martinez found a better-equipped X1 locally and matched the same price! Beverly Clarke was a pleasure to deal with - she quickly got me the best price with the least amount of hassle. Not only did Bev follow-up through e-mails and phone calls, she also took the time to show me the in's and out's of my X1 even after the paperwork was completed. Business manager Anthony Martinez was wonderful to work with. He provided me no-nonsense numbers that were easy to understand and relate to. Anthony also took care to explain the terms and conditions of the lease documents in thorough detail with no pressure to have the customer hastily sign anything. I would highly recommend seeing Anthony for all your lease or financing questions. I was carefully guided throughout the entire sales process without any of the judgment or condescension of other luxury car dealerships. The modern dealership is housed in a beautiful building conveniently located off the side of I-95 with an attached service center. BMW of Darien has earned my trust and I look forward to both referring my family and friends and working with them in the near future.
My wife purchased her first BMW and Beverly Clarke & Anthony Martinez were very supportive and patient with us during the entire process, which made our final decision that much easier. Tom Samperi was also very helpful once we decided on the car we wanted.
Beverly Clarke sets a new bar for auto sales professionals - she is in a category of one in comparison to my experience with several local auto dealers and purchase of several vehicles over the years. She is extremely competent, honest and professional. Beverly handled the entire buying experience well and I especially appreciated knowing the status of things at all times (outstanding communications). I would recommend BMW of Darien and Beverly to anyone in the market for a BMW - she represents the brand and the dealership quite well. She is head and shoulders above all local Audi, Mercedes and even Lexus people, as well as others from BMW in Fairfield County. I rated the dealership as very strong due in large measure to Beverly's great work, but all the people at BMW Darien were helpful and competent. I look forward to a good service experience ...and will also look forward to recommending Beverly and BMW of Darien to friends and colleagues.
Purchased pre-owned X5 from BMW of Darien. Great experience! my salesperson- Beverly Clark , was very nice, honest, friendly and very helpful from very first email and navigate me thru the whole process stress free. Quick response from Beverly on every call, email -even weekends and day-offs! Thank you for great product and excellent customer service!
This is our third purchase / lease with BMW of Darien. Beverly, Anthony and Joe continue to provide an incredible experience. Sales, Finance and Service. A real trifecta ! It was more difficult to navigate this web site, than it was to purchase and drive away our new 2014 320xi. ! We will be back in May for a fourth time ! Thanks for everything ! Stan
I traveled from Long Island to purchased a pre-owned vehicle from BMW of Darien. Beverly Clarke was my salesperson and from the initial phone call to the close of the sale I truly felt as though she and her associates had my best interest as their primary objective. In fact subsequent to the sale I needed assistance with an accessory for the vehicle and here to their service exceeded by far my expectations. Without a doubt I will be back to BMW of Darien for my next car and will certainly recommend them to anyone looking for a BMW.
Great dealership great people. I have had only the pleasure of working with Gregory Michael and Anthony Martinez. They are what you call Customer service. Those two gentlemen Went beyond the call of duty for me. The time I spent there felt like we were friends forever. Highly recommend buying a vehicle from BMW of Darien. Ask for Gregory he'll get the job done. Blake C...
Greg Michael and Anderson Cherilus in Darien where amazing. My son and I went to many bmw dealer and this one was the best By far to work with..
Greg provided a great overall buying experience! He really took the time to engage with me, listen to what I was looking for, and made it happen. I am beyond thrilled with my new car and Gregory made the experience feel very easy.
1. Very professional and courteous approach. 2. Very efficient with customer's time. No unnecessary wait. Very responsive. 3. Overall seamless positive experience 4. Exceeded expectations on delivery time of new vehicle
Very professional and highly efficient. BMW of Darien provides updates via text and responds quickly if I have any questions about my car while it's being serviced. The new video inspection is helpful and a great feature. Overall, the service here is 10 out of 10. Every step of process is top notch (reception, service rep, technician, loaner car.
Anthony Fischetti is a gem at the service department. He is efficient and gets it done. Make sure you only ask for him. Quick and painless!
I recently purchased a preowned X5 from Sebastian. From my initial phone call to picking up the truck, my experience was flawless. I live in New York so I was hesitant to purchase a vehicle out of state but Sebastian made me feel comfortable with the process. He showed me everything on the truck, every imperfection so there were no surprises when I arrived. The truck was everything I had hoped for and more! This was my absolute best experience purchasing a vehicle! Anderson in finance was a pleasure to work with. He explained everything step by step. When the time comes for a new BMW I will without a doubt go to this dealership!
Staff are always friendly and professional. They go out of their way to make you comfortable while waiting and keep you posted as to what is going on!
Seb is great, he is a professional, honest, and personable salesman. We had a great experience at BMW of Darien and everything was handled well.
Easy, fast, efficient and pleasant! Seb was outstanding. I was on my way to BMW Tenafly, NJ, but he persuaded me to visit them first and that, I would not be disappointed. So, I turned around at Waterbury and headed to Darien. Though skeptical at first, I was not disappointed and the services provided by him were "outstanding". The process was efficient and most importantly "painless". Well done Seb! QK
Leased brand new 528xi 2013 -sales experience perfect. Sebastian is great. Service is completely worst. Car has serious engine problem and stalls all the tome witn 6800 miles. Service Manager called me back after many hours telling me I will need to wait 3 weeks for appointment with loaner. Told him unacceptable ,, he told me too bad. Now I don't know how a $60k car can have such a problem as serious as this, but where there is smoke there is fire. It prompted me to do some digging and did read some serious recalls on edmunds for BMW recent model years and engine bolts becoming loose causing serious engone issues. I suspect the dealer knows and simply because I am middle class and dont have 10 of these cars like every other stepford wife in this town and investment banker husband, he of course does bot want to assist me at all since i wont be paying him a christmas bonus annually. 3 weeks to secure a loaner? Really hiw dumb do a look? for a 60$ k car that wont start and dies for no reason kess a year old?
I was new to car buying experience and BMW of Darien made it really easy for me. Sebastian had exceeded my expectations by providing me excellent service. After the car was bought, he followed up with me and made sure I still like the car and that no problems arose. I pretty much bought the car over the phone and upon my arrival (5hrs away), I found the car in prestige condition. Thank you Sebastian for helping me acquire the car I have been long wanting. I highly recommend this dealership.
Great to work with! This is my second purchase and they worked with me to find the right car at the right time. Thanks guys.
My purchasing experience was wonderful we spoke over the phone a few times discussed what I wanted in my car and it was done very quickly, and when i went to pick it up it was ready to go parked right out front ready to go we went over the specs of the car signed the paper work and i was able to get on the road and experience my New BMW everything was excellent highly recommend it and will to all my friends and family
These guys here are the best!! They will give you all the options you need to have a very great deal!,, I will never forget my experience with these people,, by far they are the most reliable dealers I've known, I really reccomend that if you want to have a BMW at a great condition and price you should try and visit this place and look for these people, not just them but all of them here are so good,, we got two cars from them in 2 days with the best deal ever..!!!! I'm hoping for one more car soon,,:-)
It was a great and easy experience. I am driving my new car and am happy with the price. The dealer ship was amazing the place looks like it came out of a movie. I was treated like a customer before i even spoke with anyone. They sat me in the waiting area and brought me some snickers coffee.
I have always loved the sakes and service of BMW of DARIEN, but today, they outdid themselves. IN THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC, I picked up my new 540xi (that got out of Germany right before the BMW plants closed) with safe, curbside, open-air delivery and exchange of leased cars, with everyone wearing masks and gloves! My salesman, Klaus, coordinated everything possible from home, and all I did was IPad signatures (wearing gloves and mask too, of course) and drove away. Well done 👍
Very service oriented! There was no sales hustle or pressure. They took. whatever time needed to explain the car's features. In the Covid environment, They thoroughly cleaned the inside of the car before turning it over to me
Excellent as Claus was extremely helpful in helping me make a selection of a vehicle and walking me through the process and ensuring that I was comfortable with my decision.
This is my sixth BMW bought/leased from this dealership and each time the experience is truly BMW-worthy - precise, effortless and fast. This time, my sales consultant was Claus Hattasch and from the first test drive through the paperwork, delivery and training, he was a pleasure to work with.
Claus was very knowledgeable and thorough during out 535xi purchase today. He is an asset to the dealership. Would definitely recommend this dealership to others looking at BMWs
We walked into the dealership to check the showroom model of 7 Series. Vehicle was made available from service area and claus let us test drive right away. He was knowledgeable about the advanced features ( autonomous , adaptive cruise etc ). After the test drive there was zero pressure, or no heavy sales techniques or make us wait etc. when the kind of vehicle specs we didnt find, he offered to fetch or order. But we needed some time. Over all a great experience
From the minute that I walked in the door at the dealership, I was greeted by several and asked if I could be helped. My sales person, Claus Hattasch listened to me and made great suggestions as I was considering different models and options. When I picked up the car, Claus spent lots of time going over the car with me and explaining how the car options work. The financial transaction was easy, the paper work was organized, explained and completed in a short amount of time. I would be happy to send friends to this dealership!
We had a great experience buying our BMW x3.. The car is terrific. Our salesman, Claus was awesome. So knowledgeable and had everything down to a science. Everything was great from Claus to Anthony!
I recently purchased my 2nd vehicle from Claus, following him to BMW of Darien after buying a car from him while he was at another dealership. Exceptional professionalism is how I would describe Claus and is the reason why I have returned to him for my recent purchase. His style is patient and through, very customer focused - with a genuine interest to ensure that I have every bit of information and take all the time I need to make a decision. From the first day I met Claus, I always felt that he made time for me and that I am an important customer. More importantly, I feel that I can trust him , that he is very transparent and a wonderful communicator. At the end of the day, I feel that Claus is a wonderful professional and someone who I would want to continue to work with. I have shared his name with several others and want to post this review to recognize his exceptional service...if in the market for a new BMW, I hope that the readers of this write-up will consider Claus and Matt's team at BMW of Darien. I am happy to be the first reviewer and hope that others will enjoy a similar experience.

When experiencing the beauty of Martha's Vineyard, why not make the place you're staying as luxurious as your surroundings? With our Martha's Vineyard holiday rentals, you can stay in a romantic cottage for two or a huge five bedroom house for the whole family, and truly feel home away from home.
More than one U.S. President has enjoyed staying in Martha's Vineyard, which pays testament to what a truly scenic and enjoyable destination it is. From relaxing and soaking up the sun to walking tours and boating, Martha's Vineyard is an ideal destination for anyone who loves the ocean and the outdoors and wants to experience them as never before. A Martha's Vineyard holiday rental means you can spend the day touring Vineyard Haven or seeing the gingerbread cottages in Oak Bluffs, and come back to your own rental home with privacy and beautiful surroundings.
Children love Martha's Vineyard, and from playing at the beach to touring the Aquinnah lighthouse, there is plenty to do as a family there. However, when you return from your day's adventures, why return to a tiny hotel room when you can return to a spacious rental cottage or beach house with all the space and privacy you need? Children will feel more secure in the home-away-from-home atmosphere of a holiday rental which will make it more enjoyable for everyone.
This small island is full of things to see, but there are a few sights nobody should miss on their holiday to Martha's Vineyard. The Westernmost point, called Gay Head, has wonderful views of the lighthouse, cliffs, and the ocean, and is a popular point to drive to. The popular clay cliffs are amazing to look at and one of the most popular tourist destinations on the island. The gardens on the island are also considered some of the most beautiful out there. One thing is for sure, Martha's Vineyard is an unforgettable holiday whether spent as a romantic getaway or a fun family trip.

Hello All AJAX Gurus,
I have the following issue:
I have an AJAX ModalPopUpExtender control which brings up a panel which has a field to enter User Name and Password. The panel also contins an OK and Cancel Buttons.Here is the code for the panel and the ModalPopUpExtender.
and in my .cs file I haveCode:
 <asp:Button ID="Button1" runat="server" Text="Click here"/> <asp:Panel ID="Panel1" runat="server" Style="display: none" CssClass="modalPopup">

 <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblUserName" Text="User Name:"/>	 <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtUserName" />

 <asp:Label runat="server" ID="lblPassword" Text="Password:"/>	 <asp:TextBox runat="server" ID="txtPassword" />

 <asp:Button ID="OkButton" runat="server" Text="OK" OnClick="OkButton_Click"/>	 <asp:Button ID="CancelButton" runat="server" Text="Cancel" />

 </asp:Panel> <cc1:ModalPopupExtender ID="ModalPopupExtender1" runat="server" TargetControlID="Button1" PopupControlID="Panel1" BackgroundCssClass="modalBackground" OkControlID="OkButton" CancelControlID="CancelButton" DropShadow="true"/>

Code:protected void Page_Load(object sender, EventArgs e) { ModalPopupExtender1.Show(); //show the dialog box in which trhe user needs to enter their user name and password }
I want to take the information entered by the user and use it to query a Database table.
I know how to do all that in a regular environment but the problem I am having with AJAX controls is that the program execution never gets to the OK button's click Event and I partially understand that this can be becausee the page never reloads and since the CLick event occurs after the Load event, the click event never happens. So I don't know where to place my code to access the DataBase and query the table.
Does anyone know how to handle the above scenario?
Thanks Very much in advance

This advisor to the Minister for Magic was an ad hoc position created in the administration of Rufus Scrimgeour to allow the outgoing Minister for Magic, Cornelius Fudge, to remain in the government in some capacity. Other than advising the Minister, Fudge's only known duty was to liaise with the Muggle Prime Minister, a tradition that Scrimgeour did not take himself due to the increasing business from the Second Wizarding War. It is unknown if the position was continued after the Fall of the Ministry of Magic and Scrimgeour's death, as Death Eaters have no use for muggle communications. While many other positions with the Minister for Magic's Staff and among the Heads of Department advise the Minister, this position was created solely for that purpose, and seems to have no other political power whatsoever.

We love it because this super slim 0.33mm screen protector has super tough 9H hardness, meaning it's virtually impossible to scratch.

The screen protector's multi-layer, tempered glass construction has smooth rounded edges around the perimeter and speaker/home key openings for a feel that's just like your own iPad's screen - but infinitely more protective. It also works with the Apple's new force-touch technology.
This next-generation screen protector also has oleophobic (oil resistant) coating for reduced fingerprints and a smoother feel. Overall, this screen protector is the answer for anyone who's nervous about a cracked screen, and wants stunning high-definition clarity with no noticeable screen distortion.
Each Screen Protector includes a complete set of application tools as outlined below.
1. Tempered glass film

First ingredient is a named meat product.
Uses soy protein, beet pulp and corn. Insufficient meat products in the food.
The first ingredient in this food is a named meat source. That is followed by three decent quality grains. Note however, that there are two forms of rice in the top ingredients of this food (and another further down the ingredient list). If those rice ingredients were not split (see main page for explanation of splitting) then it is likely that we would see rice was in fact the primary ingredient in the food.
The inclusion of soy protein is a decided negative. Soy is a poor quality protein, and a very common cause of allergies and digestion upsets in dogs (some claim it is the #1 cause of allergies). Beet pulp is another controversial ingredient it is a by-product, being dried residue from sugar beets which has been cleaned and extracted in the process of manufacturing sugar. It is a controversial ingredient in dog food, claimed by some manufacturers to be a good source of fibre, and derided by others as an ingredient added to slow down the transition of rancid animal fats and causing stress to kidney and liver in the process. We note that beet pulp is an ingredient that commonly causes problems for dogs, including allergies and ear infections, and prefer not to see it used in dog food especially so high on the ingredient list. There are less controversial products around if additional fibre is required.
Dried corn syrup is derived from corn and like all corn products is another common allergy problem. Lastly, the inclusion of yeast extract and apples are a combination likely to produce yeast infections in many dogs. This is certainly not a food we would recommend be fed to any animal that suffered allergies or yeast infections.
Note that this product uses citric acid as a preservative and should not be pre-moistened prior to feeding (a bloat risk factor in large breed dogs).
