SoCal dealerships for ED - Comments?

I've made a few posts here but still worth mentioning I'm a new comer to BMW, ordering a car with an allocation, and European Delivery. So please bear with me and my "newbie" questions

I'm in the process of finding a dealership to work with me for ED of a MY18 M2 LCI, or the subsequent MY19 M2 Competition. I've read that with ED you can work with any dealership, even 100s of miles away, but my preference would be to stay local (Los Angeles, SoCal area).

I've read some are more willing to work with ED buyers than others, so I'm hoping for a few comments here of (any) experiences (preferably first-hand ED) with any of the following dealerships (all recipients of BMW Center of Excellence Awards within last 3 years):

Pacific BMW, Glendale, CA (2016)
Center BMW, Sherman Oaks, CA (2017)
South Bay BMW, Torrance, CA (2017)
Long Beach BMW, Signal Hill, CA (2016)
Bob Smith BMW, Calabasas, CA (2015)
Rusnak BMW, Thousand Oaks, CA (2017)
Valencia BMW, Valencia, CA (2015)
Crevier BMW, Santa Ana, CA (2016)
Irvine BMW, Irvine, CA (2017)


Any comments would be a great help to pointing me in the right direction

Call each one, one by one, until you get the deal you want. That’s what I did. I can try to be more helpful if you have specific questions. Good luck.

Try Beverly Hills BMW. My buddy and I both got our M2's from Alex @
MSRP, No markup and I believe he is ED friendly.

He was very easy to deal with and they seem to have plenty of allocations.

We were trying to do ED but the timing just didn't work out.

Alex.Macias@bmwofbeverlyhills.com
(661) 313-5100

Tell him Patrick & Charlie recommended him.

Good Luck!

Thanks! Yes, I'll definitely have to visit/call each of them -- just hoping to know the general vibe before I do

Good Luck!
Thank-you! Great info, and thanks for the recommendation to sales person!

Beverly Hills BMW is in the neighborhood, but was not on my list because not a recipient of "Center of Excellence" (not sure how important it is...but used it to narrow down my list).

Will definitely check them out and drop your name

If you want to deal with ED, you need to go to a dealership with a lot of old geezers in the neighborhood :-)

As long as everything is working, there shouldn't be any issues

Ask for Robert Grass at BMW Valencia, he's done a lot. I'm currently in Europe, took delivery on Dec 1st. Zero hiccups! Tell him his neighbor with an M2 euro delivery sent you.
