We went to BMW North Scottsdale while trying to find a 2010 Lexus RX350 for my fiancée after trying numerous other dealerships and couldn't have been happier to have walked through the door to meet Peter 2010 Lexus RX350 for my fiancée after trying numerous other dealerships and couldn't have been happier to have walked through the door to meet Peter Cramer. Peter was extremely helpful and knowledgeable about their entire inventory. After talking with Peter and leaving the dealership to grab lunch, my fiancée looked at me and said, "Wow that was the first experience I had while car shopping that I actually enjoyed". After lunch we looked around at a few more local dealers (some better than others), but we felt we had the best shot at getting what we wanted for the price we were looking for by going back and talking with Peter. When we arrived back, Peter was busy with another customer and referred us to John Sarno, who we continued to work with on the vehicle we really wanted. John was able to pick up right where Peter left off and got the deal done without being pushy or annoying (as some other dealer’s salespeople were) and he took what we said we wanted and made it happen. John was upfront, honest and entertaining as well. We left the dealership with no buyers remorse and completely confident that we received the best deal were could have gotten on the vehicle. We also felt the piece of mind that if something were to go wrong with the vehicle, that they would make it right (so far the car has been perfect). On another subject, the car’s BMW North Scottsdale had on their lot were spotless which was a nice change from the many other dealerships that showed us cars with dirty interiors and said things like "oh that can be cleaned out". Well if it could have been cleaned out, it should have been, and BMW NS did that before letting us see the cars so we didn't have to be concerned about what the condition of the car "could be". Needless to say, we plan to return to BMW NS as out first stop next time we're in the market for another vehicle even though we live 45 minutes away and there are plenty of other dealerships on the way. Thanks to John Sarno, Peter Cramer and also Brian Peters for making our experience extremely pleasant and satisfying. More

I had been shopping for a new car for many months and finally decided I wanted a BMW 5 series. I was looking for a 535i and BMW was have great model end incentives I wanted to take advantage of. But, I w finally decided I wanted a BMW 5 series. I was looking for a 535i and BMW was have great model end incentives I wanted to take advantage of. But, I was having hard time finding a 535i equipped the way I wanted it. So I started looking at the 550i which were much easier to find well equipped and even test drove one at another dealer earlier in the day. I liked it but knew BMW North Scottsdale had a well equipped 535i in inventory I wanted to look at so I drove up there that afternoon. I had been trading emails with Scott and met him for the first time when I went to look at the 535i. We took a test drive and even though I liked it, after driving the 550i in the morning I was bit let down. On a whim I asked Scott if they had any 550i's equipped the way I wanted in a color I could live with. He got this funny smile on his face, looked at the inventory and came up with a car that was exactly what I wanted. We did a test drive over the same route as before and it was game over. I knew I wanted the car but it was quite a bit more than the 535i. Scott told me they wanted to move the cars off the lot and would make it happen. Ya right, I hear that at every dealer I've ever visited. But Scott was dead serious. He came out of the gate with a great price + the huge BMW incentive + the voucher I had for attending a BMW test drive event. In addition, they gave me substantially more for my trade than any other dealer had appraised it for over the last few months. When they accepted my offer I couldn't believe it. Scott was more than willing to do whatever it took to make it happen. It was still a stretch but a deal I couldn't pass up. During the whole process, Scott was totally professional, friendly, honest, and promptly returned all of my phone calls and emails (a rare trait among car salesmen I have found). I am thrilled with my new BMW and would highly recommend contacting Scott if you are in the market for a BMW. More
On my 3rd BMW purchased from BMW North Scottsdale, and I must say I have NOT experienced any of the negative scenarios featured here. One thing everyone should keep in mind - you have purchased a refined au must say I have NOT experienced any of the negative scenarios featured here. One thing everyone should keep in mind - you have purchased a refined automobile that requires upkeep and care. Absolutely no reason, with proper care and maintenance, that a BMW won't last you well above 250k miles. All warranties have items not included - read your contract. Repairs to German engineered automobiles are not inexpensive, but then you know that when you buy this type of automobile. Once out of warranty, take it to your favorite mechanic. However, BMW dealers work ONLY on BMW's vs offsite mechanics that rarely specialize in just 1 automobile make. I digress... If you want to purchase a BMW (new or used) work with Mitch Lippen who doesn't just sell you a car, he builds a long-term relationship with you. When you need service, Logan Carter is one of the most professional, honest service advisors I've worked with over the years. Never paid for a loaner, never been treated rudely by any employee, and what makes me keep coming back is their loyalty to make it right when hiccups happen (what service business doesn't have a "blip" now and then, seriously? Don't take my word for it, go experience it. I challenge anyone to come back to this site and post a negative experience with Mitch or Logan. What are you waiting for? Prove me wrong, but don't count on it! More
I had an issue with my BMW 5 series(Certified, pre-owned) after purchase, sales person told me there was nothing he could do. I responded to the post purchase survey requesting a call from the GM, heard noth after purchase, sales person told me there was nothing he could do. I responded to the post purchase survey requesting a call from the GM, heard nothing. I complained to BMW customer service, requesting the GM of the dealership contact me, never heard from him, Contacted them a second time, again no response. Read some mixed reviews prior to buying the car here, I should have payed more attention to them. More

My family has bought quite a few BMWs through Charlie and every single time it has been a great experience. Charlie is a no-pressure man who really understands the wants of the customer and can properly ad every single time it has been a great experience. Charlie is a no-pressure man who really understands the wants of the customer and can properly address those. He is extremely friendly and follows up with us through the ownership to make sure everything is to our liking. He has gone out of his way to show me new models even after his working day is over. I pride myself on being very knowledgable about BMW's past/present/future cars, technology, specifics, etc. and Charlie has AMAZED me with his knowledge of the cars as well. On par if not beyond what I know.. FAR beyond that of a normal car salesman. We exclusively deal with Charlie and have suggested him to many friends of ours who are looking for BMW's. This is the man you want to take care of your next BMW purchase. More
My reason for wresting this review is: when I needed help and was turn down at other dealerships North Ssottsdale BMW stepped to the plate and took control, and I experanced one of my best times at a dealer and was turn down at other dealerships North Ssottsdale BMW stepped to the plate and took control, and I experanced one of my best times at a dealership. After years and years of being a Cadillac owner, my wife finally decides one day that of all the cars she now wonts a BMW . Of course I said absolute not, no way . I soon found myself looking at used BMW' s because I could not afford a new on, but not not because she forced me I now just think it is a great car LOL. Keep in mind this is our first experience with any BMW . We drove all over the valley and search the Internet to find the best car at the best price, and man did she find the greatest car at the greatest price. That is the american way. This car had a few minor things wrong with it, so we took it to a dealership just to have it checked out, and even under warranty they said no. That's when Scottsdale BMW came to the rescue. We called and talk to a very nice lady there who gave us good information about the car, and invited us to come down and talk to Brian Iverson. Brian a man of few words assessed the situation and told me don't worry we will take care of everything and we will do it all under warranty. What a relief. Brian kept his word and did all the work we needed and more. This dealership the unnamed Lady and Mr BRIAN IVERSON have really made me see what a real dealership is. Just as I was ready to tell my wife how bad her car choose really was, this dealership and their employees made me eat crow. I now say we have the best car at the best price and it goes to the greatest dealership in the world. Thank you Scottsdale BMW, you really made the difference. More
Outstanding experience purchasing from BMWNS, and with Charlie Scott. A true professional. Continues to keep in touch, far after the original transaction. Straightforward, no-BS experience. 3rd purcha Charlie Scott. A true professional. Continues to keep in touch, far after the original transaction. Straightforward, no-BS experience. 3rd purchase experience I've had in last few years with Penske-owned dealerships, and they've all been stellar - Roger really knows how to run a tight ship. I'll be back to see Charlie when I'm ready for my next BMW. More
2007 Z4 certified preowned service on warranty. The fan runs 40 seconds after shut off and sounds like it will fall off the engine. Craig says it's normal! BS Craig and you should be embarrassed to work fo runs 40 seconds after shut off and sounds like it will fall off the engine. Craig says it's normal! BS Craig and you should be embarrassed to work for this fine company. My wife actually had the sound recorded and he would not listen because he was trying too hard to sell her tires and new mirror that keeps falling off the windshield - another warranty item. All wanted to do was flush brakes, radiator and fuel injectors for hundreds of dollars. They fixed nothing and recommend all complain to Penske Automotive about this behavior. BMW owes me repair based on the warranty. More
