We spend a total of 9 hours and two day at South Bay BMW to buy a CPO car, After hours of negation and clarifying the details off the deal, we came to an agreement. Excited to drive away in my new car we ha to buy a CPO car, After hours of negation and clarifying the details off the deal, we came to an agreement. Excited to drive away in my new car we had to go upstairs to finance. After signing all the documents and reviewing warranty, the finance guy went over out monthly payment. To our surprise it was $240 MORE than we agreed upon after clarifying the details 4 separate times with the salesman. When this was brought up to the finance guy, he stated "it is just the down payment and we only need $15,000 more to make the purchase work...like it was no big deal. My sales rep was brought into the room where he apologized for the mistake and they both let my wife and I walk out the door. I asked to speak to the GM and was given Mo at the finance counter. The GM never came out to address the issue. Mo proceeded to explain the numbers to me, of which I 100% understood and he never took ownership for the misinformation or apologized for what happened. With the opportunity to make it right and salvage the sale, he offered me $500 more for my trade in and asked me to increase my loan terms to 84 months! Some how, giving me $500 more for my car and having me pay thousands more in interest is supposed to make this right. I have purchased over 20 vehicles in my life and this by far was the worst dealership experience I have ever encountered. They have a sign stating that they value my Google Review, so here it is.

Disappointing Experience at South Bay BMW I went to South Bay BMW today to purchase a vehicle that was advertised online at one price, but when I arrived at the dealership, it was being sold for thousa South Bay BMW today to purchase a vehicle that was advertised online at one price, but when I arrived at the dealership, it was being sold for thousands more. Despite offering to buy the car at the listed price, the dealership refused to honor it and forced me to use their lender through an option contract, even though I had my own financing ready. Their practices seem inconsistent and unfair depending on the customer. I would not recommend purchasing from this dealership. They lack transparency and use questionable sales tactics. Avoid this place if you’re looking for an honest and straightforward car-buying experience. More
My wife and I visited South Bay BMW to casually compare gas and electric SUVs. Our advisor, Alex Chavez, did an outstanding job and worked with us to secure an incredible deal.

“Peter Greenberg” I recently had a phone call with a sales representative named Peter Greenberg from, and I must say that my experience was less than satisfactory. While I appreciated the time and effor sales representative named Peter Greenberg from, and I must say that my experience was less than satisfactory. While I appreciated the time and effort Peter put into explaining the benefits of the product, I ultimately had to decline the offer due to the high cost not fitting into my monthly budget. What truly disappointed me was Peter's reaction when I informed him that the monthly payment was not feasible for me. Instead of handling the situation professionally, he abruptly hung up on me while I was in the midst of thanking him for his effort and patience. To make matters worse, I had recorded the entire conversation, which only highlighted his unprofessional behavior. I would not recommend dealing with Peter Greenberg based on this experience. Customer service should be a top priority, and unfortunately, Peter fell short in this regard. More
The 5 stars are specifically for Eddie Calderon. Incredibly knowledgeable, informative, honest, empathetic and just generally a good guy. I brought my car in for regular service and the technician f Incredibly knowledgeable, informative, honest, empathetic and just generally a good guy. I brought my car in for regular service and the technician found a few needed repairs. Although I didn't have all the repairs completed, Eddie explained each and every one and provided his recommendations for the priority they should be done. He also explained in plain language what each repair entailed and what the different parts in the car actually did to keep it running. Have never had such a positive experience at this dealer. Eddie is best in class. More

I should have checked this site prior to purchasing a car from this dealership last week. Worst car purchase experience in the 10+ luxury cars I've gotten. Surprisingly this isn't even a bad reflection on M from this dealership last week. Worst car purchase experience in the 10+ luxury cars I've gotten. Surprisingly this isn't even a bad reflection on McKenna, as I've had one of the best experiences at McKenna BMW in Norwalk, but this dealership is something else. The most avg part was probably the "junior sales person" - everyone above that got worse and worse. Unethical, bad communications, overly salesy, and terrible customer treatment. Leaves a terrible taste even driving off with an overpriced car. NEVER returning, and making sure my entire network doesn't shop here. More
Giving South Bay bmw service Dept 5 stars because of Kyle Schulz, who handled my situation efficiently and successfully. Kyle has exceptional customer service and EVERYONE at South Bay and McKenna can learn Schulz, who handled my situation efficiently and successfully. Kyle has exceptional customer service and EVERYONE at South Bay and McKenna can learn from Kyle, he was straightforward and communicative regarding my x5 window tint.I’ve owned a bmw for 12 years and he is the best employee at South Bay. The last time I was buying a car there the sales guy told me “look whether you buy this car or not I will sleep tonight and I’ll still have a job tomorrow” so I asked for someone else to help me, his name was Stephen Green who was great but no longer there. Long story short - there aren’t many who are like Kyle. Look forward to working with him in the future. Thank you More
