We were give While looking at a 128 convertible on the Athens lot Rick became our salesman. We reviewed the car and had our old 328 checked for trade. We were given some numbers but were not ready to make the trade that day. My wife and I really wanted to look around but SHE REALLY LIKED the 128. As we lived several hours away the communication was by e-mail. Somewhere a misunderstanding occurred in understanding the numbers. Long story short Rick stuck with it and everything got back on the same page, the deal happened. We just return from a long weekend trip and really enjoyed the new ride. Thanks Rick and Curt for hanging in there to get the deal done. Definitely will look here for our next ride! More

Excellent experience Bought my BMW 328xi diesel sports wagon from Athens BMW. I was looking at my vehicle at several dealerships and Athens BMW, by far, gave me the best d Bought my BMW 328xi diesel sports wagon from Athens BMW. I was looking at my vehicle at several dealerships and Athens BMW, by far, gave me the best deal on my wagon. I worked with Joe and he was great! I'm located in New England and Joe made buying my vehicle from them easier than I could have imagined. He was very personable and friendly and not at all pushy. He was also very responsive via email and very helpful answering all of my questions. I had such a great experience with Athens and Joe that I came back to them to purchase an extended warrant, and considering the distance between Georgia and Vermont everything (purchase of car and warranty) was taken care of extremely fast.

IN and Out Test drove a 2013 335i on Saturday and bought it on Wednesday. Price was exactly what was promised. Did most of the paperwork on email because I liv Test drove a 2013 335i on Saturday and bought it on Wednesday. Price was exactly what was promised. Did most of the paperwork on email because I lived two hours away from the dealership. Just had to come in and sign the paperwork and drive off. Rick did everything that I asked for and was a pleasure to work it. The detailing on the interior for the delivery was not top notch but nothing really to complain about. Small dealership but an excellent experience. More

An elusive BMW Although at the time of first contact the car I wanted was not at the dealership, Curt Cook quickly found just the 328i I was looking for, in fact be Although at the time of first contact the car I wanted was not at the dealership, Curt Cook quickly found just the 328i I was looking for, in fact better, and the offer was excellent. The car had just arrived in country and was headed to Texas. He tried to redirect the car to Athens, but just missed it. Off it went to Texas. At this point Curt and Rick Bythewood, who now joined the effort, went to work contacting the Texas dealer to ascertain if it were still available and to arrange for it to be trucked here. Success! Both Curt and Rick worked persistently to get the car I wanted and kept me apprised each step of the way. Once here, Rick was extremely professional, friendly, and helpful, working to finalize a closing price that was fair and that fit my budget. Rick is very knowledgeable and his explanations of the options, etc. on the car were detailed and clear; as a first-time BMW owner, I much appreciated that. Allen Dean was most helpful in quickly resolving a problem (of my making) with my insurance company. So, working as a team, Curt, Rick, and Allen provided excellent service and made my buying experience about as smooth as one could wish, fun even. I could not be more pleased and satisfied. More

Easy & smooth experience I do not enjoy shopping for new vehicles. I hate dealing with the sales tactics of pushy salespeople that are so obvious they make me want to turn ar I do not enjoy shopping for new vehicles. I hate dealing with the sales tactics of pushy salespeople that are so obvious they make me want to turn around and run the opposite direction. This experience was completely different. Rick seemed to be genuinely interested in helping us find the perfect car. He was very knowledgeable about all the features in the vehicle we were considering. We decided to purchase that day and the complete transaction went very smoothly. The experience was very relaxed and enjoyable. More

Bought a car from Rick Bythewood and got excellent service Rick Bythewood provided me with the best service and the smoothest deal ever. gave me a promise of the lowest price deal provided I close the deal the Rick Bythewood provided me with the best service and the smoothest deal ever. gave me a promise of the lowest price deal provided I close the deal the same day. I shopped around before calling him and I got the best price and regardless of price, treatment was 5 stars. I 've been driving BMW's since college and will be buying many cars from Rick for me and my family and work as well. More

Our 4th BMW My wife was interested in purchasing a replacement for her Volvo wagon. She test drove cars at the local Volvo/Acura dealership and was not quite sati My wife was interested in purchasing a replacement for her Volvo wagon. She test drove cars at the local Volvo/Acura dealership and was not quite satisfied. Since we had previously purchased three cars from Athens BMW (all 7 series sedans), I suggested that she test drive the BMW X series. The X1 was too small, the X5 was too big, but the X3 fit her just right. Rick Bythewood was highly knowledgeable about the BMW line and carefully explained the differences among the models. A test drive featuring some maneuvers that demonstrated the stability and safety features of the X3 sold my wife on this model. Rick has a low key manner that is contrary to the stereotype of car salespeople and it was a pleasure to deal with him. After we had the car for a few days, I discovered a small crack in the windshield. Rick and Curt Cook examined it and without hesitation offered to replace the windshield. These are standup guys and I appreciate their integrity. More

Easy does it My experience with Joe Coleman and the staff at Athens BMW was a pleasure. I was looking for an almost new BMW for my daughter. Joe had patience, de My experience with Joe Coleman and the staff at Athens BMW was a pleasure. I was looking for an almost new BMW for my daughter. Joe had patience, depth of knowledge of all makes of BMW, and sincerely wanted us to find what we needed at the best value. It was easy at all stages. After the sale, Joe was more than happy to help us whenever we returned with questions. Basically, they are just good honest folks at Athens BMW with a strong emphasis on customer satisfaction before and after. More

We finally found the right fit I have spent quite a bit of time working with sales people during the car buying process. In fact, when I walked into Athens BMW, and was introduced I have spent quite a bit of time working with sales people during the car buying process. In fact, when I walked into Athens BMW, and was introduced to Joe Coleman, I was looking to purchase my 14th vehicle. In all of these transactions I always left the dealerships with a smile and a handshake; however, working with Joe has been a different experience. The feeling that you get with Joe and his team is one that far surpasses any of the others. There is a comfort in knowing that he really looks forward to assisting you and your family through the complimentary service process. It has been about 3 weeks and we have traveled over 3300 miles in our new BMW. I am more confident today than I was when we first drove off of the Athens BMW lot that we made the right decision. We look forward to confidently referring our business associates, friends and family to Joe and Athens BMW. See you in a few weeks for my 7000 mile service, Joe! ~ Tracy Southerland More
