Philly/KOP dealer

I'm relocating from the west side of PA to the East Side and will be living in King of Prussia.

Who is the best dealer in that area for when I'm ready to order G87 from a sales and service perspective?

Thanks!

Justin

For service, Thompson BMW is pretty popular for M owners, even for us across the river in NJ.

I don't know about sales though... demand is pretty crazy right now. My friend who is a client advisor here in NJ told me they rarely discount anything these days. Your best bet always is to shop a few dealerships.

Thompson BMW has a dedicated M performance group, mechanics are outstanding. Helped build and maintain my M2. Talk to Andi in the service department. Highly recommend them!

Thanks all! Otto has told me that they're willing to start a G87 list and I can be first. I'll reach out to Thomson. And join the group!

I bought 2 from Otto's in West Chester. Aces across the board from my experience. They're also certified M.

Thompson for service, without a doubt. Not sure I'd buy from them though. They are less than spectacular on pricing, even before the inflated car prices we see now. I've purchased 4 new BMWs over the last 15 years and Thompson never beat any of the competition with prices. I've had some good fortune with Sloane BMW of Devon. Bought my last two cars from them. Basically go with whoever gives you the best deal.

When I was getting m2c quotes Mainline in Bala Cynwyd was the most agressive. Others wanted msrp. Bala was 3% below.

Otto's is good for service and offer free insp for hpde

Second Devon. Only place that gave me one of the first f87 allocations without a deposit. A few others in NJ and PA wanted 2k just for a spot in line.

Just don't do your test drive at mainline. You've been warned. Ha.

I serviced my car in mainline BMW. I think the closest to you should be bmw Devon. If just for service, I have done both and both are great.

For buying, go to which ever dealer gave me the best price. I have used mainline 2 cars, Devon 1 car, reading 1 car, west German 2 cars.

And my m2c I just ordered is in IL.

Otto's in West Chester has always been fantastic for me. Been going there since 2007.
