I’ve worked within the BMW brand since 2010 and Sloane BMW of Devon since 2014 when we took the store over. I have always strived for the best in a customer experience. In today’s world price can be gotten almost anywhere, but having someone go the extra mile, myself and our team can provide. I’ve been driving BMW since 2008 with the purchase of a E46 M3, this was after driving a brand new E90 V8 2008 version. I purchased it as a CPO and couldn’t have a better ownership experience. Since then I have owned many BMW’s including E46 M3, E60 550i Sport, E90 335i, M235i, 340i, M3, X3M & 2 M5's !!!! All these cars were awesome and loving my most recent M5 acquisition. My picture is from Aruba, the happy island that I highly recommend if you are looking for a get-away! If there’s anything I can do for you in the BMW world please let me know and if you are enjoying your BMW from us please leave some feedback!

TOTALLY POSITIVE!!! I am a first time BMW buyer. The sales staff members I dealt with were so attentive. Tony Lukanski helped me identify which model would suit me best I am a first time BMW buyer. The sales staff members I dealt with were so attentive. Tony Lukanski helped me identify which model would suit me best. He helped me to design the car with all the features I wanted. Kerry Simmons walked me through all the bells and whistles and how everything worked before I drove the car home. He has been available 24/7 to receive my many calls with questions. I pulled in today, unannounced, and had all tires checked on my car due to a message I got re low tire pressure. I was in and out in ten minutes. I have never known such first class treatment from a dealership. Cannot say enough. More

Well worth the drive Let me start by saying that any business today that does not embrace technology and electronic communication isn't going to fare as well as those that Let me start by saying that any business today that does not embrace technology and electronic communication isn't going to fare as well as those that do. I'm not saying that we need to avoide face to face exchanges completely, but in this busy world of data and information, people often want to research on their own time without wasting that of others before they engage with the face to face. For example, most days I spend 12 hours or more at my office going from building to building and meeting to meeting. I depend on email, texts, instant messaging, Skype or FaceTime, and my cell phone for much of my communication. Let me explain why this is important to me and why I was so impressed with BMW of Devon. For the last four or five months I had been searching online for a CPO BMW. I would use the time that I had to look online for the model I wanted at the price I was willing to pay. I had made a couple inquiries online with my local BMW dealership and got nothing but crickets. When I did get a response, it was useless dribble like "Present me with a Challange". Yes, I spelled that incorrectly because that was how it was spelled in the email I received. Seriously? Here's a challenge for you: LEARN TO SPELL! Anyway, since they were of no use, I started expanding my search using the BMW web site. From California to Maine, I looked at any car that matched my search criteria. After what seemed an eternity, I finally got a good hit on a 2012 535i xDrive at BMW of Devon. I decided to click the "request an eQuote" button fully expecting to not get a response. In under an hour I received a very pleasant email from Helen with the price minus a nice internet discount. She even apologized for taking so long. OTHER DEALERSHIPS TAKE NOTE: She responded in less than an hour and apologized!!!! Moving on... Given that the car matched my criteria and the price was very good, I decided to contact Carolyn who was the salesperson Helen mentioned could help me further. As with Helen, Carolyn responded almost immediately an answered every one of my questions. Carolyn was incredibly helpful, insanely polite, and blazingly fast. Since I was interested in the car, the next step was to figure out what to do with my trade. I gave Carolyn the VIN, a description, and emailed her a picture. Within an hour, she emailed me back and said that Demetri, the CPO manager, gave her a verbal figure for my trade. I had done my research and was expecting something between KBB and the "other" book. The number was exactly where I wanted it to be. I knew this was subject to an appraisal, but Carolyn explained that they like to do business without jerking people around. Haggling and negotiating may be fun for some people, but I bet most people find a root canal more appealing. Carolyn told me that they like to price the cars at what they are worth and give people reasonable amounts for their trades. Everybody wins. Next up: how to pay for it... Seeing at that I am not independently wealthy, there was a portion of the price that I was planning to finance. Having a good relationship with my local bank, they offered me a discounted rate that wasn't bad. I mentioned to Carolyn that I was going to secure my own financing, but she suggested that Frank, her finance manager, might be able to do better. Again, within less than an hour, Carolyn emailed me back with an offer from Frank that beat my local bank by a significant amount. In addition, by financing through BMW, I got an additional $750 discount for having recently acquired a graduate degree. Whoooo Hoooo! When can I pick this car up????? Did I also mention that by by offering such a good price for my trade I saved quite a bit on the sales tax? The following Saturday came around and I called Carolyn to see about picking up the car. She said that it was already checked out, detailed, and ready to go, so I could come pretty much anytime. How about today, I asked? Carolyn said she was there until 5pm, so come on out! Given that Devon was a little over 5 hours away from me, I quickly got in the car and hit the road. Carolyn was even nice enough to call my cell a couple times just to make sure everything was okay and that I wasn't having any issues. When I finally pulled in to the dealership, it was 4:30 pm. I felt horrible about showing up on a Saturday a half hour before quitting time, but Carolyn said it was not a problem at all. While Demetri was looking over my trade, Carolyn took me for a test drive. I don't know which impressed me more: the car, or Carolyn's knowledge about every aspect of the vehicle. She told me that she had not been at the dealership very long which astounded me. This was a salesperson who others should mimic. She was very pleasant, informed, smart, and a pleasure to deal with. There was no question that I was going to drive home in this car. By the time Demetri and I had a chance to talk, Frank and I had a chance to go over the paperwork, and Carolyn and I had a chance to pair my iPhone to the car and set up the navigation for the ride home, it was after 7pm. Again, I felt horrible for keeping these folks so long on a Saturday evening, but every one of them told me not to worry about it at all. They were more than happy to make sure I had a pleasant experience and a safe ride home with my new car. Frank told me that he would take care of everything and to call or email him if I had any problems or questions. Carolyn was even so kind as to tell me I could call her at any time should I have a question about the car. We all shook hands and on the road I went. I should have bought them all dinner! It's been a couple weeks now since I picked up the car and I couldn't be happier. I have emailed Carolyn and Frank a few times with follow-on questions and they were just as responsive as before I bought the car. Looking back on my experience and I am still impressed. This was a fantastic group of young professionals in the business of selling some of the best cars on the road. To that end, they did a great job. I don't care how far away you are... If you are in the market for a new or CPO BMW, I highly suggest you call, email, text, or visit BMW of Devon. You won't regret it. I sincerely hope that Helen. Carolyn, Demetri, and Frank are still there when I am looking for my next BMW. Without a doubt, it was definitely worth the trip for this one. More

Excellent Experience from Start to Finish I went over to BMW of Devon after finding a Certified Pre Owned 3 Series online that I was interested in. John Walden assisted me as soon as I stepped I went over to BMW of Devon after finding a Certified Pre Owned 3 Series online that I was interested in. John Walden assisted me as soon as I stepped in the door. Honestly, it was the easiest car buying experience I have ever had and certainly the best interaction I have ever had with a dealership. John took me out to to the car I was interested in purchasing and took me thru the process without ever being pushy in any way, shape, or form. I received an excellent value for my trade-in and quickly went over offer and financing terms for the vehicle I ultimately purchased. The negotiation process was simple and never tenuous - it was fair and logical. Once we had settled in on price and trade value we set an appointment to pick up the vehicle within the next few days. I headed over two days later in the morning to finish the paperwork and get into my new car. John answered all of my final questions and showed me every detail I needed to know about the vehicle - at which point I was passed off to Frank Muto to complete all the necessary paperwork. Frank gave me a a full explanation of every document I needed to complete and made sure I arranged financing terms that fit my budget. Again - while offering additional warranty and protection plans I never felt like I was being pushed into anything I didn't want to do. Once everything was signed up, my car was waiting outside with a fresh wash and wax, ready to drive off the lot. It was a truly painless and easy experience. I would recommend this dealership and both of these gentlemen to anyone in the market for a BMW. I look forward to going back and purchasing my next car at Devon as well. More

Great BMW Dealership I was looking for a particular BMW X6, midnight blue with oyster interior, and BMW of Devon had exactly what I was looking for. Everyone at the deale I was looking for a particular BMW X6, midnight blue with oyster interior, and BMW of Devon had exactly what I was looking for. Everyone at the dealership was more than accommodating. I live in Maryland and the dealership is in Pennsylvania. They took care of everything so that I could bring the car home the same day and not have to make another trip back to Pennsylvania to pick it up. Follow up after the sale has been incredible. They even made arrangements to get a couple minor things taken care of here in Maryland. If you're looking for a great BMW dealership with really attentive, knowledgeable sales representatives, this is the place, BMW of Devon. More

Carolyn ma I purchase a BMW 328i on Friday June 6, 2014. My experience was exceptional and I owe that to Carolyn Cohen and the TEAM at BMW of Devon. Carolyn made the experience easy and her knowledge of the vehicle and her "can do" attitude completed the transaction in a short period of time. I would say this was my best car buying experience ever and I have purchased a few cars in my time. Demetri and Frank were also very helpful and very easy to deal with. So, if you are looking to purchase a BMW go BMW of Devon and Ask for Carolyn. Jim Hunter More

Wonderful Experience 2nd Purchase w/Kerry who was once again fantastic, friendly & honest. His manager, Anthony Lukanski was just as stand up & pleasant. In all my years b 2nd Purchase w/Kerry who was once again fantastic, friendly & honest. His manager, Anthony Lukanski was just as stand up & pleasant. In all my years buying vehicles - and I have purchased many, this was sincerely the best experience by far. Shopped around before purchasing the 2014 X5, but not only was BMW of Devon the best deal, but Kerry, Anthony & Frank were superior in service, honesty & professionalism over all the others. I will never hesitate to refer them to everyone I know. Anyone purchasing a BMW should definitely call Kerry Simmons! More
