My brother-in-law, Nick Henares recommended me to Peter Opel for questions in regards to the 2012 128i.

I had called up the dealership the day prior to arriving to set up a test drive with Peter Opel. Peter was friendly and professional on the phone and emailed me the pertinent information to the car that I w to set up a test drive with Peter Opel. Peter was friendly and professional on the phone and emailed me the pertinent information to the car that I was inquiring about. When I arrived, unfortunately the vehicle had sold. However, I was able to work out a fantastic deal on another vehicle that was available. Peter was very low-pressure and easy to deal with and accommodating. Unfortunately, I am from out of town so I will not be able to use this dealership for service. I highly recommend BMW of Monterey for providing an excellent buying experience and am loving my new car. It was definitely worth the time to drive up there from Southern California. Thank you! More

I had an amazing and wonderful experience with my new BMW car purchase. My financing and car cost information was done over the phone prior to arriving the next morning. Terrie did an amazing job and was k car purchase. My financing and car cost information was done over the phone prior to arriving the next morning. Terrie did an amazing job and was kind enough to e-mail all the information regarding the car I was interested in and had the $$$ figures worked out. The test drive was great and she answered all of my questions. I had to drop my car rental off at the airport and they even picked me up and drove me back to the dealer. It truly was an amazing experience and I would highly recommend purchasing from BMW of Monterey. More

I come from san jose about 50miles away. I talked with gabe on phone he was very friendly on call, and that resulted in my visit to your dealership. I have not seen friendly BMW sales person, and have gabe on phone he was very friendly on call, and that resulted in my visit to your dealership. I have not seen friendly BMW sales person, and have read bad reviews online also, but Monterey BMW is exception. I and my wife are very happy with experience and friendliness of everybody we worked with. I feel I paid little high price, but I am happy with my car and experience. More

My wife and I drove by last week and stopped in to look an an E46 sedan that was fairly priced. When a salesman approached, it was Gary Kihs - it turns out my wife used to babysit his kids! Small world! an an E46 sedan that was fairly priced. When a salesman approached, it was Gary Kihs - it turns out my wife used to babysit his kids! Small world! After an afternoon of looking at different models and talking about what my wife both and I wanted, he showed us a beautiful preowned 335i sedan that had just rolled onto the lot. Long story short and a test drive later - Gary helped us get into a great car, which we previously thought would be too expensive, and it's something my wife and I both enjoy (she's really digging in!). I highly recommend Gary for his amazing customer service, his long and varied experience in the car industry, salesmanship, knowledge of the cars, and his great personality. He was always available to take our calls and questions, never pressured us in any way and helped make the process as stress-free as possible. He went above and beyond to make sure we were absolutely satisfied before and after we signed the papers. I know for a fact if it wasn't for him, we wouldn't have made a car purchase. More

I bought my BMW X6 xDRIVE50i from Walter Irish. He's so knowledgeable about the BMW and really helped me decide on a car. And I really liked him. Buying cars has never been fun for me.

In the past twenty years, I've bought 9 new cars and have gone through brokers. But I stopped in just to look one day and wound up buying my car and I love it. More

I had a great experience at the dealership. I got a very good price and the sales rep helped me all along the process. He answered my questions and was honest. He did not put any pressure whatsoever that yo good price and the sales rep helped me all along the process. He answered my questions and was honest. He did not put any pressure whatsoever that you see at a typical dealership. He was very helpful for everything. He took time to show all the controls of the vehicle and did not rush into things. Experience at the finance desk was awesome as well. Even the finance person did not slap me with hidden charges nor did she try to sell unnecessary stuff. She did not pressure me to buy extended warranty or other products and it was a great experience. Having bought 4 brand new cars in last 10 years, I have a lot of experience dealing with dealerships. This dealership was way above and beyond and broke all the typical dealership rules. More
