Francesca was fantastic to work with and I was able to order a very limited allocation M3. Even with limited availability the pricing was unbeatable. Francesca responded quickly to all of my queries and order a very limited allocation M3. Even with limited availability the pricing was unbeatable. Francesca responded quickly to all of my queries and made it an excellent no hassle deal. My car was ready as promised to coincide with my narrow window of availability. All in all it was well worth the time to travel from Northern California. The rest of the Steve Thomas team, including Ryan Amico, Kirsten and Adam, were also great. Also, my lease return was handled smoothly and efficiently. I would highly recommend working with Francesca to get the best deal on an M3 or other BMW! In fact, I did recommend Francesca to a good friend and he also ordered a new M3. My friend and his wife now want to take my wife and I out dinner in appreciation. Maybe we should ask Francesca to join us. More
Kevin, I just wanted to express my appreciation for you Kevin, I just wanted to express my appreciation for you and the staff at Steve Thomas BMW, as well as convey my first impressions of my new 128i. Fir Kevin, I just wanted to express my appreciation for you and the staff at Steve Thomas BMW, as well as convey my first impressions of my new 128i. First off, let me say that your professionalism and calm demeanor makes the buying experience feel so comfortable. The dealership's philosophy of making the customer feel like family is something rarely experienced these days, and I certainly find it to be a most enjoyable part of BMW ownership. The enthusiasm and welcoming attitudes of all the employees makes me glad to have a reason to stop by the dealership. Now, as for my first drive in my new car, it was an experience I will never forget. I told you I was going to head up Hwy 33 to break in the car, and right after I left the dealership I took the long way around via Balcom Canyon, the 150, and then on to the 33. I got acquainted with the car relatively quickly, but once I hit the 33, the true nature of the vehicle became very apparent. It had all the performance and quality I had hoped for, and a lot more. My manual 128i with the M Sport Package is the perfect recipe for the "Ultimate Driving Machine". The handling is stellar. The response of the inline 6 is immediate and confidence inspiring, and the fit, finish and quality make this car the most satisfying vehicle I have ever driven. It exceeded my expectations tenfold. You know I already own three BMW performance motorcycles, and I thought nothing could offer up a more thrilling experience, but I have to say, this car does. I was all smiles on that road yesterday, and I knew without question I had made the right decision ordering this BMW. The experience goes well beyond the car's athleticism in the canyons. It displays amazing comfort and quietness around town and on freeways. Even with all the performance, the car is still ideal for a daily commute or a long road trip. It simply does everything perfectly. As I continue to drive the car, it is abundantly apparent that the engineers at BMW have obsessed about every aspect of the vehicle to create the perfect driving experience. Things like the placement of the arm rest, or the steering wheel ergonomics just feel precisely right. The clearness of the gauges and console also just seem optimal. The lack of wind noise or buffeting with only one window open is a triumph of aerodynamics. Being able to lower the entire seat assembly to the floor of the car, allowing the driver the lowest center of gravity, is such a great performance oriented feature. These things and a long list of others never cease to make you sincerely appreciate the painstakingly thorough efforts the engineers at BMW have gone to. To conclude, I just want to thank you for steering me back to my original vision of what kind of car I really wanted, and helping to make it a reality. Anyone who cares enough about a customer to do that, is for me, a friend for life. I have no doubt I will be a lifelong customer at your dealership as long as people like you are involved. I have no regrets, and I can state without reservation that this is the best car I have ever had the pleasure of owning. More
Steve Thomas BMW's Francessa treated us very well and our experience was with no pressure. I recommend contacting her for any BMW needs. Also, Sean Friday was instrumental in our test drive. our experience was with no pressure. I recommend contacting her for any BMW needs. Also, Sean Friday was instrumental in our test drive. More

OMG. This is now my 6th BMW from this amazing franchise. I actually was just taking my car in for service, when I met Mr. Ortiz and Mr. Leonard. I had over 75000 trouble free miles on my 2010 3 franchise. I actually was just taking my car in for service, when I met Mr. Ortiz and Mr. Leonard. I had over 75000 trouble free miles on my 2010 3 coupe. My only complaint had been I really wanted a convertible. Mr. Ortiz and Mr. Leonard directed me to a very special 2012 328 convertible that had been an executive car. I was able to lose 70,000 miles and get my coveted convertible as painlessly as possible... .. Roger and Frank were super, friendly, honest, and helpful.. I have always had very special salespeople at Steve Thomas, and this time was the best of all. Coupled with Warren Matsui in service, I cannot imagine any better service at any better dealership from drive-off to turn-in. More
Wonderful Dealership. I had found the exact car I wanted at another dealership. However, this dealership closes on Sunday so employees can enjoy church and family so I chose to work with them.

After receiving terrible treatment at our local dealership (Desert BMW) here in Las Vegas, and checking out the various BMW forums, I decided to contact Ryan Amico for a M3 European Delivery price. dealership (Desert BMW) here in Las Vegas, and checking out the various BMW forums, I decided to contact Ryan Amico for a M3 European Delivery price. Well, the price was simply amazing. Over the next several months, he answered any questions I had and kept me in the loop thoughout the process. As we got closer to delivery time, I dealt with his assistant, Francesca Ortiz, more often. Needless to say her dedication and attention to detail were outstanding! She even promptly handled a potential issue that came during our trip (1200 mile service in France) and put us at ease! I can't recommend these folks enough, and we well certainly be buying our eighth BMW from them! More
This dealership is A++. Personable service, no nonsense, no high pressure, bait and switch, etcetc. This is already saying a lot. Past that, I found an honest, up to par dealership that I can be comfortable no high pressure, bait and switch, etcetc. This is already saying a lot. Past that, I found an honest, up to par dealership that I can be comfortable with associating for a longer term. Ryan Amico was my main salesperson: He was knowledgeable, listened to all my concerns and tried to help me reason out from a buyers perspective with all her doubts, questions, fears and life priorities in mind. He was patient even on Friday evenings, seriously fast with his replies and savvy with the internet, and answered every question I had which made it easier for me to make a firm decision on my purchase. I also liked the feeling of a tight family owned dealership that runs on some integrity, good service and pride (so was the image and they proved the stereotype). Kwinn was excellent too. His straightforward and street-wise style goes well with me. They both took care of me well and covered each other when one was not present. A++ Highly recommended by me. More
Ryan Amico was absolutely fabulous, I drove quite a ways to get out to Camarillo, all the way from Manhattan Beach and it was worth every ounce of gas. I had visited at least 6 L.A. based BMW dealerships b to get out to Camarillo, all the way from Manhattan Beach and it was worth every ounce of gas. I had visited at least 6 L.A. based BMW dealerships before this and was either met with aloofness, rudeness, or someone who really wasn't interested in working out a good deal. Most salesmen were pushy, needy, and straight up liars. Also the prices other Los Angeles based dealership were asking for used 2008 335i's were a little absurd. I got a supreme all black 335i w/ black rims, sports/ premium package and loww mileage for a really great bargain. It was my first time purchasing a car in this class and Ryan could feel I was a little nervous about the whole endeavor, he knew i had done my research and took me aside in a classy way and kept me assured and relaxed. He was a salesmen I really felt very comfortable with, a true talent in sales. Ultimately, Ryan and I negotiated down to a price we were both comfortable with, (something most LA dealers would NOT do) and we both left the sales room quite happy. He also worked with my finances to get a great low APR that was difficult to pull off at other dealerships. Overall, I really can't imagine ever going to another dealership, and when it comes time for friends, family, or I to purchase a new vehicle, I will definitely steer them clear of the other culprits and send them straight away to Ryan Amico at Steve Thomas BMW. Also, Steve Thomas came in and greeted my friend and I with a couple poker chips (his personal kind of business card) and gave us a warm welcome. What a classy place :-) More
