They sold me a 2017 BMW M2, which is very difficult to find and most dealers are charging a hefty premium for. Not only did they sell me the car at the listed MSRP but they did not even ask me for a deposit and I am an out of state buyer! The salesperson, Jory Barnes, is extremely professional, knowledgeable and has been quite helpful in the process of buying this car and making sure it gets delivered to me without a problem. I would highly recommend this dealership to anyone that is looking to buy or lease a BMW and wants to be treated with respect, courtesy, honesty and professionalism. These are qualities that are in short supply with the car dealers where I am from in Miami! More

I mean when you buying a car is okay here, but if you have any problem at all, this place is a xxxx, NO ONE answers their phone, I have called 1000 times to try to speak to someone about my issue. No ONE answers their phone. And especially their Financial director Shilpa Pope, the worst of the worst! Send her emails, she would never reply, I finally went in person the other day to deal with the issue. Her excuse was all the emails went to spam, which is totally xx. Because she told me to send her emails to fill more information. Anyway, it's been three month, I still haven't gotten my case closed yet. Really terrible place. More
worst service I went in on a Saturday for issues surrounding convertible top came back Monday it still wasn't done after service rep told me call by 4 pm, he never I went in on a Saturday for issues surrounding convertible top came back Monday it still wasn't done after service rep told me call by 4 pm, he never answered and I had to leave car til next day. When I came Tuesday my car was on flat and tire needed to be replaced and they issisted I brought it in that way but I didnt, so I pay for new tire and they say they will put on and I can then take my car. Well the end of the day came and the tire was not fixed even though it was paid for. Now today I can't get rep to answer calls . They don't seem to care, I regret ever going. I will never got there again. Bottom line, I went to them for help and got nothing . More
WORST SERVICE EVER I dropped off my car for service due to some software problem. Appointment at 8:15 am, I got there at 8 am, waited for 20 minutes for the adviser. I a I dropped off my car for service due to some software problem. Appointment at 8:15 am, I got there at 8 am, waited for 20 minutes for the adviser. I asked the adviser how long would it take for me to get back the car and he said couple hours, then he went and scheduled the shuttle for me to drop me off to work. I didn't get any updates from him for the whole day, until 4 pm I called to check on the status. No one picked up the phone call, so I left a message. He didn't call back until 2 hours later, which was 6 pm, and said the car had to stay at the dealer overnight because the problem was not fixed yet. I was very unhappy about it because it was already 6 pm, and I had no car to go home from work! So I asked him why took them so long to know the car had to stay over. He explained that they didn't get back the answer from New Jersey center until very late, so they couldn't do anything now. So I asked what I should do because I had no car and I couldn't do anything without a car. He said I could take back my car now leaving the car unfixed. Seriously?! What kind of service was that? For the whole process, he didn't even offer in arranging a loaner for me when he knew it's going to take them unknown time in fixing the problem. I couldn't go out and get dinner that night and couldn't go to work or get breakfast or lunch the next day. This place caused me a huge trouble. Highly recommend NOT to go to this service center ever!!! More
HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE!!! Very horrible customer service. I went to test drive a Pre-Owned Certified car on August 4th with a pre approved loan letter to buy the car immediatel Very horrible customer service. I went to test drive a Pre-Owned Certified car on August 4th with a pre approved loan letter to buy the car immediately if I liked it. I liked the car and at the end of the day I gave them the loan letter deciding to buy the car. The sales advisor told me that the loan processing would take a day and that she would give me a call when the car was ready for pickup. Also I pointed out to a few repairs that needed to be done for the car before I picked it up. I did not receive a call at all. Finally I decided to call my sales advisor on August 8th to check the status. I was given a few contact numbers and asked to talk to of which none of them answered. I called my sales advisor again and now she asked me to try calling them the next day. The same thing happened the next day and my sales manager again used me to called the next day again. Finally on August 10th I decided to go to the showroom to get things done. When I picked up the car after all the trouble, none of the repairs that needed to be done was finished. The sales advisor promised to get it done in a week but never after the purchase of the car got in touch with me. I HAD TO KEEP CALLING THE SERVICE ADVISOR EVERYTIME. Again after which I decided to go directly to the service center and get things done. But this time they would not give me a loaner car unless I had an appointment. I took the appointment for the next week on August 23rd. I was promised to pick up the car after service on August 26th. And then the story repeated. THE SERVICE MANAGER now does not respond to my calls and never lets me know about the status of the car. It has been a week and I still have not yet received my car and the SERVICE MANAGER IS NOT PICKING MY CALL!!! MOST HORRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE EVER!!!! More
Horrible customer service I took my car in for routine maintenance and to look into an issue with the A/C. I was informed by my service advisor Jaques Riley that the A/C issue I took my car in for routine maintenance and to look into an issue with the A/C. I was informed by my service advisor Jaques Riley that the A/C issue was due to a previous accident of which the body shop had not fully fixed the issue. He insisted that I have the service department perform the repairs as the body shop would "only cause further issues." At his advice, I trusted that this would be dealt with in a timely and professional manner. It was anything but. Jacques was horrible at returning my phone calls or emails, let alone those of my insurance company. My insurance company and I requested an estimate several times only to be ignored as this was needed for insurance to give the go-ahead to proceed with repairs. What should have been a 2-3 day ordeal ended up lasting 20 days, thus exceeding the total number of days for the rental car on this claim. The original body shop stepped up and agreed to pay for three of those days. All the service department did was place blame and not accept responsibility for their delays, even though they are well-documented by my insurance company. I am now stuck with a $650 car rental bill that they refuse to cover. This is by far the worst customer service experience I have ever encountered. It is now over 3 frustrating months later. I attempted to resolve this with the dealer GM Monty Meave, Service Director Ernest Sumen and Sonice Automotive executives, all of which either have ignored my repeaded requests or placed blame on everybody but themsleves. Even my insurance company is appalled at how they have handled this. More
Terrible...twice. In fact, for the second time in just over two months, the service department at Beverly Hills BMW has proven to be one of the worst customer experienc In fact, for the second time in just over two months, the service department at Beverly Hills BMW has proven to be one of the worst customer experiences I have ever had. In April, following a routine service during which I waited over two hours for the shuttle, I submitted a mediocre review on Google, and the service dept. asked me to call a manager. I did that AND submitted an email, but never heard back. I thought I'd give them one more chance on something simple since they are by far the most convenient location for me, but that was a mistake... I scheduled an appointment for 8a today, and arrived 5-10min early. There was already a line of cars out the door of the service center, which isn't itself a problem, but when I finally got inside I waited around my car for ten minutes while various service department personnel walked past without even asking which service advisor I was there to see, what time my appt. was, etc. 8:10a and I walk over to the counter where they read keys to speak with the guy there, and as I'm walking over looking at him he looks at me and walks away as if to avoid my question. Again, it's early and I let it fly. I finally find the office of my SA on my own, and five minutes later he comes up and says he'll be right with me (to his credit he was polite, and explained he was finishing with the 7:40a appt., whom I can only assume was late in arriving). I tell him what the car needs (I knew the compressor was still running, and I wasn't smelling freon so I knew it wasn't the evaporator, so I figured it was likely just a recharge or maybe a hose leak), accept that I'm going to pay $300+ for a minor A/C fix because this is a BMW dealer in Beverly Hills, and make clear I would like a phone call as soon as the diagnostic work is done to let me know what the actual issue was. I then walk over to let the women at the interior counter know that I need a shuttle ride. They say it'll be ~15min, ends up taking 30+ before the driver gets back. Again this is a relatively minor inconvenience, but two or three 10 minute increments add up. The driver was...aggressive...to mention nothing of the fact that what should be a world-class dealership uses Toyota Siennas as shuttle vans, but I got home a little late thinking "it's an A/C recharge, maybe a hose fix, I'll be back there in 3-4 hours." Could not have been more wrong. 12p comes around, no phone call to let me know what the diagnostics revealed. I am fortunate to be able to work remotely, but had been planning to go into the office this afternoon when the car was done. By 1:15p I was getting concerned so I called my SA to inquire about the status of the car...no answer, so I leave a message just asking for a return to let me know what was up and when it would be done. 2:30p and no return, so at 2:50p I call again and leave another voicemail. 3:30p and no return so I call again...at this point I saw no point in leaving another message so I called the main service desk. After being on hold for five minutes one of the reps answers and I explain the issue...she puts me on hold to find my SA and gets back on to say he's with a customer and if I would like her to give him a message. I say yes, please have him call immediately I would like to know when I can get my car back. 4:30p and no return phone call so I order an Uber to speak with the Service Manager, Arnold. I walked into his office, explained the situation, and asked about the status of my car. He was completely unapologetic while searching for info on the status, before explaining that after the diagnostic work was done, they had recharged the system without my authorization. Oddly, however he went on to explain that after recharging the system the tech "smelled freon and HVAC system oil," and "suspected an evaporator leak." Would be plausible, if not for the fact that he explained that the system fully passed the post-evac pressure test, so if there was a leak it would have to be tiny and of no measurable consequence. He attempted to explain how an A/C system repair works, something I am familiar with, so I simply asked what the status of my car was and was told it was just sitting around and that the tech who had "smelled freon" was gone. At that point I told Arnold that I wanted my car back immediately, and would not be paying for anything beyond the diagnostic fee I had signed off on this morning. Unfortunately this was not the end. Despite being only marginally helpful and completely unapologetic, Arnold did assure me that they would go get my car immediately. 45 minutes later I was still waiting (along with others who were waiting nearly as long for their cars) while there were SAs and techs standing around talking. You would think after all this Arnold might have gone himself to get my car to remedy the situation, but after 45 minutes I was rather irritated and finally found Arnold to ask where my car was. Rather than apologizing for the delay, Arnold feigned surprise and walked away. Two minutes later he walked right by me without providing any update, and maybe five minutes after that my car finally showed up. With tape still on the front license plate from being run through their automatic car wash. Which I then had to remove myself with a tech standing watching. To cap it off, I closed all the windows and blasted the A/C on my way home and didn't catch a whiff of freon or oil. The whole thing was completely unacceptable. But what I'm most curious about is...what would have happened had I not come in of my own volition? Would they have just kept the car overnight without telling me? And would they have just gone on tomorrow morning, once this tech had returned, to rip apart the dash and replace the evaporator unit without my approval? More
Horrible We have bought two CPO BMW's from Beverly Hills, and both were horrible experiences. The worst? We were lied to by Finance when we purchased an exte We have bought two CPO BMW's from Beverly Hills, and both were horrible experiences. The worst? We were lied to by Finance when we purchased an extended warranty; she told us that we can use this warranty at any BMW service center, but what she didn't tell us was that the fine print of the extended warranty said that it only allows use of equivalent part, that the less expensive of OEM parts or generic parts will be used. When is BMW OEM parts ever less expensive than generic equivalent? We were blatantly lied to. Very disappointing. The sales people we dealt with were fine, but the moment you purchase a car from them then it became obvious that they simply didn't care. More
Unethical Sales Experience and Poor Management Attention I called into this dealership either Sunday evening on 5/29 or it might have been Monday evening on 5/30 and spoke to a Salesperson named Carla. I wen I called into this dealership either Sunday evening on 5/29 or it might have been Monday evening on 5/30 and spoke to a Salesperson named Carla. I went through the pricing I had received from 2 other dealerships including the detailed list of options and what I could get through Consumer Reports Buy and Build Program. I was expecting a response the next day, but I hadn't heard anything so the receptionist connected me with her cell phone. On that Tuesday (5/31) around lunch, she let me know she was in the process of moving and she would make me her priority the next day but if I wanted another salesperson I could use someone else. Since I felt that one day wasn't a huge deal, I was OK thinking I would receive a call back the next day on 6/1. On 6/1, I didn't hear anything all morning. Since I felt that getting a price should be a relatively quick process as the other two dealerships gave me a price instantly, I called back and asked for another salesperson. Then I got a salesperson named Mazi (short for Maziar Jamshidian). I explained to him that I had started the process with Carla but hadn't yet received any price, but he said if I feel more comfortable I can work with him instead. His email should as "Internet Manager" which I later learned he wasn't a Manager at all. Anyway, he quickly gave me a price of 9.5% off the MSRP which was better than the 8-9% I originally got from Santa Monica depending on which options I was choosing and better than the 6% I got from North Hollywood. I was very pleased with the pricing and told him I'm ready to move forward with the order as I was buying the car in full. It would need to be ordered from Germany since no cars with the options I wanted were in any dealer inventory in all of Southern California. On Thursday 6/2, I called back and I was told that the appropriate management were out of the office so he could place the order the next day on Friday morning 6/3. Once again I was told I would be the priority that morning. However, I wanted to get the credit application out of the way so I filled that out with an email confirming our Wednesday discussion thinking that everything would be set. Then Carla (Salesperson #1) sent me a price around 12:30PM with a price of only $2500 off the MSRP which was an absurd price. Unfortunately, Mazi (Salesperson #2) didn't bother to let Carla know that he would be dealing with me and had already given me a price of 9.5% off the MSRP. On Friday morning I didn't hear anything from Mazi (Salesperson #2), so I contacted Mazi's cell number around lunch time. He seemed irritated with his tone of voice that I was pressing for a status and basically said if I'm not comfortable I can move on. I was furious. So I called back to the store to talk to a Sales Manager. Instead, I got a 3rd salesperson who I thought would escalate to a sales manager and all I got was Carla back on the phone (sales person 1) who insisted that she told me she was moving for two days, not one. I do not agree at all, as time was of the essence being that I'm on a lease right now. If she stated it was going to be two days to move, I would have immediately asked for another salesperson on Tuesday. With that said, we chalked it up to a miscommunication. However she stated that Mazi should never have given me that 9.5% off the MSRP pricing and that he wasn't a Manager. Her hands were tied as she stated that he Sales Manager wouldn't allow for better pricing. On Friday evening, I contacted a 4th dealership in Sherman Oaks, we nailed a great price within 1 hour and I went into their dealership on Saturday afternoon for the formalities of placing the order. My car is in production and expected to ship by boat from Germany in early July. On Sunday 6/5, I contacted the General Manager via his voicemail to let him know how poorly the sales process was and the unethical pricing behavior that occurred. I left a very professional message, it wasn't mean or anything. I just thought since it may never reach his ears that he would want to know what was going on at the dealership. I would think he would want to know so that other potential BMW buyers that are new to BMW like myself wouldn't get such a negative upfront impression. I waited over a week and never received a call back. I believe his name was Monty or something with an M, but I forget. Anyway, it was clear that the Apple doesn't fall far from the tree. I recommend that you avoid this dealership at all costs and that you take seriously the other negative reviews because in this case they may be justified. More
