LOL. So I've heard the same..however they DO give good deals on cars. Their service is typically questionable according to others. I haven't personally visited them for service but I know enough from others to steer clear of them.

ST BMW for sure

I've had 2 great experiences with Pacific BMW. Ray Ibarra for US delivery of my Z435 and Greg Poland for Euro delivery of my F80 m3

highly recommend both

If you're still in the market, ask for Robert T. at McKenna BMW. Dude's dad is the finance director at the dealership...

thats a first. i service (collision repair) all 3 sonic bmw dealerships. BH, Long beach and Monrovia. i would believe it from the other 2 but monrovia has a good reputation with its clients. sorry you guys had bad experiences there. wow.

I agree with Valencia Bmw. Best SoCal dealer both customer service and pricing.

I recommend first getting a quote through a leasing auto broker. Then take it to Valencia- their automation savings discount usually beats it.

Go see Sean Crawford- great guy.

Don't have to tell me twice! Only two dealerships I find worse are Irvine and McKenna.

ST, Valencia and Crevier

If a dealer is recommended even when quoting MSRP (or at least did), then perhaps there is something more than meets the eye. Either way, I will give you guys a try again in the future should I decide to get another BMW. I want to experience what all the fuss is about in regards to customer service.

Could someone direct me to this pricing thread he mentions? I can't seem to find it but it sounds like it would be a pretty useful tool

Forgot about Greg Poland. He is a great guy to deal with as well- super straightforward.

i think price doesnt matter sometimes, it would of been nice to receive a discount for me. my dealership was horrible and still is. i had to bargain for msrp, received it as long as i purchased two of the dealership service. they lied about ED and performance center delivery, i still havent received my plates and ive had to go in three times already. they always just tell me they will work on it, yet never do. i have no problem calling BMW NA on dealerships like this.

i had the worst experience dealing with Crevier, and i only say this because ive given them many chances to fix the issues

[TonySCV]

Whenever these threads pop up, I like to give a plug for Scott Smith at Rusnak BMW in Westlake/Thousand Oaks. He's one of the nicest sales guys you'll ever deal with. Sold me my first BMW in 1998 and he's still there. I've bought several others from him since then.

Like everyone says... it's all about the relationship of the person you are dealing with. Scott is one of the best.

That's unfortunate- I've only dealt with one rep and he was great!

However- I did end up taking my business to Valencia, so who knows :

I've had nothing but good experiences with Crevier. There are some very mod-friendly SA's there, but I've also heard otherwise as well.

If your intent is to find a mod-friendly dealer/SA, my advice would be to check around with some of the larger aftermarket suppliers in your area (ie. EAS, Supreme, Trinity in SoCal OC) and get advice on which SA at which dealer they would recommend.

Crevier recently flagged two of my clients vehicles... They weren't too pleased being that it's irreversible...

I'm a mod friendly SA, plenty of vouch threads as well, the proof is in my instagram.

I can vouch for McKenna as well, since I bought my E39 from you guys. Nothing but positive comments.

I'm just referencing my experience with Crevier, since I'm in OC. Like I said...there are mixed reports with them.

Khoi is where i got my ED M4 from and he was very competitive (I can't say the exact but it was a few thousand over ED Invoice, a very low few thousand). I hope this helps.

Ray Balbin Crevier - tell him Dr Dani sent you - if he can handle my bazillon mod requests all rolled into the lease he should be good to go
