I deal with BMW salesman all the time, usually they are making 100k and up, have seen some claiming 60-65k, I would say an average would be 75ish for a middle range salesman. Not a bad living but the hours and dealing with crazy customers is annoying.

Ever thought about going to school to be a BMW tech? It's really the best of both worlds. You don't have to deal with joe public very often, you get to be around the cars and learn something new everyday, you never ever know what you are going to run into making each day different. There's some stress and BS, most of it revolving around flat-rate, but for the money it's easy to deal with.
I personally went to tech school for 6 months, went to BMW STEP for 6 months, then made 53K my first year. Second year I made 71K, third year 76K, 4th year 85K, and now I'm in a salary position into 6 figures, all at the ripe old age of 27. And I'm in a city that has low cost of living.......certainly nothing like NY. I personally love my job........couldn't see myself doing anything else.

I've thought of selling BMW's too. I've got a few questions for CA's out there....
How do you deal with difficult customers? Have you developed techniques to help you cope with them? Do Sales Managers constantly pressure you to produce results or do they leave you alone? Thank you. |

No problem you needed the AWD more than I did. I am glad I was able to help you out. Plus I got to blast around in a 335i. Big sleeper in Deep Green with Beige Leather. I really realized how much I HATE AUTOMATIC after driving that car. The power and the feel of the car SCREAMS for a stick. Other than that I really enjoyed the car. I drove the car for a week so I logged a lot more miles than I ever have on any 335.

This is called "mid-life crisis." We all go through it. If you have wife and kids like myself, it is hard to start all over from the bottom. The beer helps.

Not "killing it" in this market but BMW spin money definitely helped last year.
Thank goodness for BMW Awardline. Hope to see more spins this year!!!! |

interesting read, and I didnt think the sales people would be making $250K... I must be in the wrong industry here...
but an "average joe" can start out $75K is still pretty good.... I still remember that my first job, as a financial analyst started just at $55K too... and I went through a ton of school + interns.. and hell, I dont exactly like it too...

you should be making six figures, period... if youre not close to that number, youre simply not a great sales person. i work closely with people on the floor at dealerships and if you got a knack for it, youre defintely in the six figures. if you completely suck, youre making shit money and wont be around for long, if youre average, you will make an average living.
like someone said early on in this thread, to make good money in the business, the hours are usually killer. althought, I have noticed that here in canada, the bmw dealerships have better hours then most other lots. |

I know it's always annoying when someone bumps an old thread, but this was an extremely engaging read. Do any current CA's on this board want to give an update?

I think the points stated are exactly true in this thread. I worked for a BMW dealer here, in service accounting for most of my time. I tried sales, but the hours killed me. Its very possible to make great money, but you cant really have a life outside of work.

My brother is a die hard BMW fan and of cars in general. All he talks about all day is cars when we are driving he's constantly lookin around at all the cars on the road. He's about to buy an 09' 335i coupe he worked 3 jobs to be able to get it (from 7:00am-11:00pm he's at his jobs), he's one of the most determined 19yr olds I know. I told him to read this thread and he did and now he's excited and wants to be an CA. he says he doesn't know when to start or how to go about applying I told him I would replay an ask (he doesn't want to join the forum until he gets his 335i, he's weird like that) but if any one has any information on how to get your foot in the door please post. He has this page bookmarked on his computer and I'm SURE he'll check daily so any advice is very appreciated.
