We shopped extensively for a new SUV across 9 different luxury brands and 14 models over a three month period. Our process involved multiple dealership visits and test drives as we narrowed our search, an luxury brands and 14 models over a three month period. Our process involved multiple dealership visits and test drives as we narrowed our search, and frequent phone and email communication. We had the pleasure of working primarily with Daniel Mangiafico, as well as Ray Johnson, Chris Siriphokha and Mario Picone. Our experience at BMW of Sarasota was simply outstanding. Daniel and team were extremely professional, accommodating and gracious. Daniel was by far the best and most professional sales representative across all of those at other dealerships we dealt with. He was responsive, followed up with us regularly on progress to be sure we had everything we needed, and worked with me diligently to get the best pricing possible. The true measure of professionalism is how one responds when things don't go as expected. Ultimately, due to a unique opportunity, we purchased our BMW elsewhere. Daniel and Mario put us at ease and accepted our decision most graciously. BMW of Sarasota will be our servicing dealer for our new car and we look forward to a long and productive relationship with them. I'd give them six starts if the ratings allowed it! More

Working with Mario and Tim has been fantastic. They are quick to respond and have gone above and beyond to make this the best buying experience. I’m in love with my 740. There have been a few issues with t quick to respond and have gone above and beyond to make this the best buying experience. I’m in love with my 740. There have been a few issues with the service department however. My new vehicle is a certified pre owned. That being said, driving home from the dealer we got a warning light that the car was very low on oil. We also noticed at pick up of vehicle their were several scratches and a very noticeable dent. The car was at the shop for a week so this was very surprising. As soon as I relayed these concerns to Mario and Tim however, they assured me these would all be taken care of immediately. I trust their word these issues will be resolved. More
