Dealer Recommendations in S. California

Hi All,

I owned multiple BMW M's but have deviated from the brand for the last couple years. This leads me to my inquiry after searching the pricing thread and many pages of the M5 forum.

Unfortunately my BMW guy was at Pacific BMW and he has been let go. Many might know him here (Julio Navarro) I've had a 10 year (9 vehicles) working relationship with him from a referral on the bimmerpost forum. I am looking for another long term working relationship with a dealership in S. California and would greatly appreciate any leads or referrals via PM or replies to this thread.

I know this sub forum gets a lot more foot traffic then the X7 forum I originally posted in. My intention is to get a X7 order in.

Thanks All,

Frank

Greg Poland from Pacific BMW is solid and very transparent and since you've gotten a lot of cars from there already should be even better.

To OP, so, did you call Greg Poland and get the M5? if yes, what type of deal did you get?

Hi All,

Thank you for the referral and recommendations. The order that I put in was for the Alpina XB7.

I did call Greg and he did see my repeat business at his dealership. I was intially offered zero discount and later offered $1000. I felt like that wasn't in line with what other people were seeing out there when they were getting their allocation and build slot. I ended up doing it the old fashion way and just went from dealer to dealer in search of a slot and maximum discount. Buena Park offered 2% off. Irvine BMW offered 3% off an early build. My order is with Irvine BMW. East coast was seeing up to 6% off build slots.

Greg called a couple days later and offered to match anything I get. At that point I decided to give it to the dealership who gave me the best pricing up front. Hopefully I can start a new working relationship with Irvine BMW.

Thanks All.

To OP, did you not inform Greg that I referred you to him? I'm a friend of his and if you had mentioned my name I bet you would have received the best rate out of the box. Just being a repeat customer at Pacific BMW will not get you a discount.
