Interesting well, their website doesn’t work… 🤪🤔🤣

Having another dealership makes it even more competitive…

Stopped at the dealer today. They only opened April 1st. Not a lot of inventory yet except the had several IXs. No G87 allocations yet.

Their service department is up and running. They have two service advisors. One master mechanic with 20 years of BMW service experience.

I will probably just continue using BMW Seattle even though BMW Lynnwood is closer.

Makes sense without question

Dans link, as well as the links they have on Google don’t work either

No. I only have 18,000 miles on my M2. Hardly broken in. Was wondering about service potential.

I did get my link from Google. Interesting that it was incomplete.

Well that's interesting. Maybe this will drive Bellevue and Seattle to be more competitive with their sales and service options?

Bellevue is trash and Seattle is expensive so having another option in the area can only be a good thing

Not sure why Bellevue is trash to you

I guess it really depends on who you’ve dealt with personally

Both. I even had the Sales Manager scream at me because he thought I negotiated too good a deal.

I use to live in Bellevue.

I don’t remember his name. But I have had a purchasing department report to me for a long time before I retired. I am an excellent negotiator.

P.S. I know London the GM at Seattle very well and can probably get you a better deal there.

Thanks but I personally know London quite well

I also know the GM and GSM of Bellevue and live on the Eastside so there’s no real reason to ever cross those two bridges

Thanks for the offer Dan

I think it’s the nature of that business

I’ve had some not so good experiences with a Seattle BMW Service manager, but their #1 Mastertech is one of the best

Awful personal experience with them (sales & finance) - not a dealer I would trust for anything. Had to bring a hammer to crack a few skulls to get what was due back to me.

Yeah, now that you mention it, they tried to screw me in finance. I had to do my own thing before they porked me on rate.

I had much better service experience at Strictly BMW which is right near the dealership. They also give BMWCCA discount.

I’ve used them before and don’t have anything bad to say about them other than a shitty referral. They recommended me to use a body shop, McLeod Auto Body, which I would not recommend to anyone unless they want their car to be raped.
