James Duerbeck knew exactly how to sell my new X1 to me. I have owned a BMW X series since 1988...and still have the 1988 which we drive when one of our cars is in service. All my cars have been bought and I have owned a BMW X series since 1988...and still have the 1988 which we drive when one of our cars is in service. All my cars have been bought and serviced at BMW Fairfax. My husband also has developed the BMW appreciation/addiction but he likes the convertibles. My second car was a 2004 xi...... In October James sold me the X1. We first went to visit James in the Spring to drive the BMW X1 but was disappointed to learn it was only available in automatic transmission. I just could not give up my manual transmission sedan. All my cars have been manual transmission. The X1 was available only in automatic. James emailed me several times to see if I had changed my mind and would now purchase an automatic. Never! but then I kept thinking about that great X1 and the way it handled. James would email me every few months and I decided to go to see him one day in October. As soon as he saw me he knew exactly which car to bring around for me to test drive. While it was the same color X1 as I had driven in the spring, it was now the 2014 model. He brought the white X1 with black leather interior around for me to drive. He knew. He knew that was what I wanted...a white X1 with black leather interior. We had discussed this in the spring...and here it was but with only automatic transmission. I caved. I loved it and he knew I would. James possesses an excellent sense for bringing the perfect car to a buyer. He knew what I wanted and I think he knew I would eventually give up my insistence on manual transmission for the white X1 with black interior. One can tell he is an expert by the number of customers waiting to see him. He knows the BMW and he knows his customers. I have called him several times to clarify some of the technical issues I am still learning about. He is a professional, a great teacher and an expert! More
While I used an auto broker to locate my new BMW 328i xDrive and then negotiate the deal, our experience with James Duerbeck was fantastic. There was no quibbling about the price, sales experience/proce xDrive and then negotiate the deal, our experience with James Duerbeck was fantastic. There was no quibbling about the price, sales experience/process (especially my use of a broker), and the deal he worked out for me put more options into the car (a rare blend of features) for a better price than I found anywhere else in the country. Once I showed up at the dealership to finalize the sale, he walked me through every feature of the car and surprised me by already preprogramming the car so I wouldn't have to worry about all the various settings. He got that part down perfectly and every time I asked if the car would do X because I wanted it to be that way, he laughed and said he figured I would say that and sure enough, the car was totally tweaked and personalized just for me. What a great way to end the deal and what a great feeling driving home in my very first BMW. I would not hesitate to return to BMW of Fairfax and would specifically seek out James Duerbeck to help me in the future. I especially appreciated that he gave me all of his contact information so when I have questions, I can call him for help (I have already done so a few times and James got me squared away). More
Leased new 328i from BMW of Fairfax last week, James Duerbeck as the adviser. James is truly an exceptional sales person as he clearly knows the Ultimate driving machine inside out. His level of profes Duerbeck as the adviser. James is truly an exceptional sales person as he clearly knows the Ultimate driving machine inside out. His level of professionalism and expertise (and guidance) is what you would need when choosing cars like a Bimmer. We were offered the most competitive quote out of ALL the other BMW dealers in the State of VA. We appreciate his patience to go through the vehicle's operational details. The whole purchase experience was unbelievably stress-free and enjoyable. But the most striking aspect of it was transparency thanks to James and Maryam (in Finance). I would recommend this dealership to anyone. These guys don't just sell you cars, they inspire you to own one. More
We could not be more satisfied with the service and quality of cars at BMW Fairfax! My husband has leased two BMWs over the past several years working with James Duerbeck and his team. James is perso quality of cars at BMW Fairfax! My husband has leased two BMWs over the past several years working with James Duerbeck and his team. James is personal, professional and passionate about his work. He's one of the best sales people we've ever had the pleasure of working with, as he is not only an incredible expert on the brand, but a person who truly cares about exceeding the needs of his clients. (James even sends a hand-written card to my husband every year for his birthday and is always remembering special things about our family, e.g. recent moves, children etc). BMW of Fairfax is where we will continue to buy/lease our cars from for years to come. Keep up the great work, James and BMW Fairfax! More
I must say I am truly amazed with the help I received from James Duerbeck in buying my new 5 series. This is my first time buying from BMW of Fairfax and certainly will not be my last, the whole car buy from James Duerbeck in buying my new 5 series. This is my first time buying from BMW of Fairfax and certainly will not be my last, the whole car buying process has a very large stigma of being a drag & painful process from my experience. With James the whole process from test driving, to making sure I understood all the options available was smooth as butter. Never before have I been to a car dealership where it was a pleasure being there rather than feeling like another ticket in line. Going over the prices and delivery process of the vehicle was very quick and to the point, he kept me updated from the day it started production to the day of arrival. The day of arrival he explained absolutely every function on the car and some, many I did not know even existed. His knowledge about BMWs is just astonishing, not a single question I had went unanswered. I will without a doubt be returning on my next BMW purchase and will refer anyone to James Duerbeck! More

Had a great experience at BMW of Fairfax. Alex was very helpful in answering questions and providing information about BMW, as I had never purchased one before. He was also helpful in finding the right bal helpful in answering questions and providing information about BMW, as I had never purchased one before. He was also helpful in finding the right balance of options and price and in helping me figure out what was worth spending on and what was not. I never got the feeling that he was pushing the sale or trying to get me to choose things that I didn't need. The price of the car was correct when I compared it to Kelley blue book and was below the national average price for that car. I hadn't bought a car with the "True Price" before but actually appreciated that it eliminates the stress of haggling. Financing was easy and everyone I dealt with was pleasant and professional. I especially appreciated never feeling pressured during the process. I would definitely recommend BMW of Fairfax and Alex in particular. More

I felt comfortable doing business with him as he helped make the stressful process of buying a car simple and easy. The atmosphere was very professional and I would definitely recommend it to friends and family. After buying a BMW SUV X5 with Mr. Abutaa in December 2012, I felt entirely at ease and satisfied with the results that I yet again, within 6 months, had purchased another BMW (320I Sedan) in May of 2013 from his dealership.
