I met JT four years ago at the dealership. He has always been welcoming, energetic and, most important, never pushy trying to sell me a new car. His patience paid off and I'm loving my new More

Terrible experience from a dealership that operates nothing like what you'd expect from the BMW brand. After leasing my vehicle, I canceled a protection plan well within the 30-day window and was told More

p.s - BMW of riverside inspected the vehicle and the subframes are bent, it should've never passed inspection they told me, the rear tires also should've been replaced and no dealership should've sold the car with those rear tires I was told. Which I find kind of strange since the vehicle barely had over 5000 miles on it, looks like they swapped the tires out with another vehicle or mileage was rolled back. Most likely swapped out, because when they did post photos on their site the rear wheels were different from the front.
