I brought my X7 in with complaints of squeaky brakes and tire light warnings. Even though I chose "waiter" when making the appointment, no one called to tell me this would take a minimum of three hours. I c tire light warnings. Even though I chose "waiter" when making the appointment, no one called to tell me this would take a minimum of three hours. I chose to get dropped off at the Darien Library, which is .5 miles from the dealership. I had to call Vince multiple times to inquire about getting picked up (he never answers his work phone or cell phone). I was stuck in the library a full hour AFTER he told me the work was finally done and he would send someone to pick me up. I would have walked back but it was 15 degrees outside with 40 knot winds. I said I would order my own Uber and he told me to wait. When he finally gave me a summary of the work performed, he told me that they ran a full diagnostic of the brake system and everything was fine. The techs did in fact hear the squeaking, but according to Vince that's "normal due to the X7's sport brakes." Never mind that it only started two years into owning the car. I have to wonder if their sales people tell potential customers that they can expect squeaky brakes? In summary, I wasted FOUR HOURS of my day to be condescended and lied to, and my brakes still squeak. I will now (and forever) go to the dealership in Bridgeport to figure out what's really going on. I will also tell my dozen friends who own BMW's in Westport where they should buy and service their vehicles. Extremely dissatisfied. More

This was the first time going to BMW of Darien. I purchased my car in Bridgeport and typically would go there, but decided to try Darien and they were amazing! From beginning getting the appointmen I purchased my car in Bridgeport and typically would go there, but decided to try Darien and they were amazing! From beginning getting the appointment, to them picking up the car doing the service keeping me abreast to everything that was going on and returning the car. They are an exceptional dealership and I would never go anywhere else. Thomas was awesome. I’m hiss I tried them! More

Came in for an oil change, picked up my car and noticed that my car was still staying that I needed an oil change, when I asked why does it still say that I need an oil change I was told I had to pay an ad that my car was still staying that I needed an oil change, when I asked why does it still say that I need an oil change I was told I had to pay an additional $85 to remove it. Total rip off. Not to mention on my way home from my appointment my car started overheating. My 3rd BMW and this is the worst BMW dealer. I will take the Trip and drive to BMW of Tenafly going forward. More
