Who are the good and bad. I am in the market for a new 3 but also new to the area. NO salespeople please!

Depends on where you are. Gerry at Co's BMW in Loveland or Bob Evans at Winslow BMW in Co Springs would be my recommendations

I bought my 335i from Ben Uher over at Murray Motors. Really cool guy, and great to work with.

Good luck!

My tech service guy is awesome @ Ralph Schomp I dunno about their sales dept though...

jwed335i · 02-18-2008, 04:55 PM

Ralph Schomp is not competitive in pricing compared to the others. Don't waste your time.

co2stay · 02-24-2008, 04:51 PM

Schomp almost doubled the discount that Murray would have allowed me to purchase from them. Murray really acted like they didn't want my business where Schomp sales were all I wanted. Didn't hound or pressure me and wanted my business when I was ready to buy.

I ordered a 335i sedan for European Delivery from Kory at Gebhardt BMW in Boulder in January. Pick-up in April. I previously contacted Schomp several times and visited Murray once -- neither dealership would budge on pricing. The sales people at Schomp were very nice but they would not (or could not) haggle. For ED, Schomp offered $775 off ED MSRP and Murray does $1,000. For regular orders, Schomp told me they discount $1,095 off regular MSRP and Murray said $1,300.

Kory is the Internet Manager at Gebhardt and he immediately beat the best price that I received from an out-of-state dealer that specializes in European Delivery ($1,200 over ED Wholesale). Kory was professional and knowledgable -- and he's also a real 3 series enthusiast. My experience with Gebhardt has been very good so far - your mileage may vary. Good luck with you purchase.

Well, it looks like you got someone with a good opinion for every single BMW dealership in the front range area.

As you can see, you can have a good or bad experience anywhere, just shop around.

KaiserCO · 02-27-2008, 07:28 PM

As far as denver area, Murray usually has better prices than schomp although I have no experience with murray's service but I can tell you schomp has excelent service.

And right now there's a special deal of an additional 1500 bucks off for coupes in stock and 2500 off for x5's in stock but it only lasts until friday so if you want a coupe and somebody has what you want in stock this might be the time to buy.

Ralph Schomp was awesome. Bought below MSRP, worked the Dinan into the deal!

Anyone here have any experience with Murray Motor's service department? My brakes are squeaking like crazy! I'm trying to stay away from Schomp because my last visit there wasn't a pleasant one.

mrdirosa · 08-13-2008, 05:40 PM

Yup - I brought my car in with numerous issues (1 was brakes squealing). They couldn't duplicate anything except my streaking windshield wipers...

Go to Gebhardt and work with Tina. Jake is the foreman and take him for a drive...it works...
