dealers around the L.A. area with best service and prices?
Hello all, I'm looking to hopefully own a white 335i sedan soon. I live in the San Fernando Valley, and the only BMW dealership I've visited is Glendale.
From you guys' personal experiences, which dealerships should I be going to and which I should be avoiding? Thanks in advance. |

I live in Bakersfield CA and just bought a 335i, in my garage as we speak. I went to Valencia (thinking they would have a better selection) and they were nice enough, but wanted full MSRP. So, I went back to Bakersfield and got it for below MSRP. Great group there.
Might be a bit of a drive for you, but none the less I had a great experiance there. |

Just remembered, if you are a AAA member you can get the 335 for 1000 over invoice at the long beach dealer. That is 1000 over invoice of car + full price of add on packages, which is really more than 1000 over invoice.
Hope this helps. |

If you go to Valencia, talk to Robert Grass, or Tommy Lueck.
They'll take good care of you. Tell 'em Matt from Center BMW sent you. If you go to Center BMW, talk to Amir or Emidio. And tell them Matt the technician told you to talk to them. They'll take good care of you too. |

Also, for those guys who bought their 335i's already, if you guys don't mind, can you post the price you got it for including TTL (tax, title, and license) and the options you guys put on the car?
As of right now I know for sure I want an alpine white 335i with the red interior if it is a coupe and tan interior for the sedan (since from what I read, the red interior isn't offered on the sedan). and ps is the sedan 335i out yet? I haven't seen them in the streets nor at dealerships, but you are able to customize it on bmwusa.com and it has the price listing on kbb.com already. once again, thanks in advance, fellas. |

OK Guys, so I'm growing eager and went to KBB.com and sent out request to be contacted by Century BMW in Alhambra and Pacific BMW in Glendale.
So far no one from Pacific has emailed me back yet, I just got the confirmation from kbb that it was sent to them. I got a reply back from the internet manager at Century. I would absolutely love to skip the small talk so I want to know for the SoCal guys, can you guys give me the name of your sales person, your name and the price you got the car for? Basically, I want to be able to get to the point by saying Mr. Steve Smith bought a car from Mr. Salesdude at your dealership for $xx,xxx. Can you do the same deal for me? Much appreciate, fellas! |

I will also try to get in contact with the other dealerships some of you kind members listed and talked to the people mentioned. The reason I'm only talking to only Pacific and Century right now is because those are the only 2 good dealerships around my house KBB.COM gave me.
Thanks again all! Just check out the email...what do you guys think? Dare I jump the gun? hehe. 2007 BMW 335i Sedan Alpine White Terra/Black Dakota Leather (Terra is not available in leatherette) Poplar Wood Trim 6-Speed Manual Transmission Sport Package Navigation System MSRP: $44,545 Dealer Invoice: $41,545 Your Price: $42,545 Only thing is that you will need to order this vehicle as there is nothing out there close to this. The order will take about eight weeks for delivery. |

I'm in the same boat as you. I will tell you from past experience not to make the jump on the first available car you see. Make sure you get what you want even though either way you will be happy. There's will be things you will begin to regret if it's not the exact way you'de like it to be. I will say not to go near the gloendale dealerships though as they tend to not be to flexable on there prices unless you know someone who works there(good for me ).

^Definitely! If I'm going to spend almost $50,000...I'm getting it exactly like how I want it and won't settle for anyting on the lot. I am willing to wait hands down.
