SoCal Dealers
I'm starting my research into an M4 and wanted to see if anyone has any good dealers they recommend? Looking to make a purchase within the next 3-4 months. Thanks for your help in advance.

I am curious, and this is a serious question, but did ST BMW pay some of you guys off or something? If you look through the forums, while they do have good service, the prices that they quote are much worse than other dealers with just as good services. People were quoted ED MSRP on M3/M4 while other dealers are doing $1,500-2,000 above invoice. Nowadays people are able to get $1,000 above invoice. With that, it makes me curious why you guys recommend ST BMW...
I personally found it a bit insulting to be recommended to ST BMW only to be quotes MSRP. I mean, really? It's not like we are buying Ferrari's here... |

Sometimes it doesn't only come down to price to the cent. Customer service has a lot to do with one referring a dealership to someone. |

I get that. Don't get me wrong, if someone is willing to pay MSRP for better service then more power to them. I think most people are trying to find good deals with good service (not great, but good). I think there are plenty of dealers out there that offer both good prices and great service too. When people are able to do PCD at Thermal Raceway, they can buy from any dealer in the country and have their cars shipped to Socal. At that point, price will be the driving factor (and there are plenty of dealers giving out fantastic deals).

also don't always believe everything you see on the internet especially deals people post. Some are legit yes however some are pretty hard to believe IMO. If a dealer is only getting 1 allocation per month for that unit why would they sell it at a lost when the demand for the unit is high? Doesn't really make sense. dealer is making money somewhere in those deals one would have to believe. Money off MSRP is just a small small part of the overall deal Either way we at STBMW would love to have you as part of our family(customer) so feel free to contact me personally anytime on anything you need and I will get you set up

I've email exchanged Khoi @ Long Beach BMW and he was a straight shooter. Pricing was competitive as well. No frills, no bs.

Purchased our last 3 Ms from Steve Thomas throughout the years, as well as planning on visiting them for future business. These guys are simply the best.
