I would love to rate a 5 only because Seth was so awesome. But unfortunately I can’t because otherwise my experience was not good. I scheduled an oil change for last Saturday, several days prior to awesome. But unfortunately I can’t because otherwise my experience was not good. I scheduled an oil change for last Saturday, several days prior to the appointment time. I purchased my vehicle from this dealership so it had been serviced there as well. However, I dropped it off at the scheduled time, around 9am. I called back around 3 to check the status, because I had not heard anything. I was told it was taking so long because they had ran out of the type of oil specific for a BMW with a diesel engine and the oil was being ordered. Not sure how that works but ok, cool. I didn’t need the car so I was fine with picking it up later that day. I picked the car up around 6:30pm from the sales department. As I was driving home, I get an alert on my dash: Engine oil at minimum level: Add 1 quart of oil as soon as possible, see Owner's Manual. Ok, so now I’m panicking because I had driven 20 miles or so with low oil. I called back to speak with Seth, my service rep. Thankfully he answered and advised me not to drive the vehicle and we would speak on Monday and come up with a plan to get the car back there. I was not happy about this but I just kept my cool. Meanwhile, this being my only mode of transportation, I had to borrow a vehicle to drive out of town to visit my son, put gas in it, and use this same vehicle to drive to work on Monday. I spoke with Seth on Monday and he confirmed that it was fine for me to drive the vehicle back to the dealership so they could check it out. I did that and had to wait for another few hours after working all day, when I should have been at home cooking dinner. The car was indeed short of oil. Why? I don’t know. Needless to say, after having to use someone else’s vehicle for 2 days, my time and gas, I was never offered any compensation. Seth apologized but the service manager, I never saw him. He should have been apologizing in my opinion. Seth was amazing throughout the entire process. Unfortunately, I DO NOT plan to take my car back there for any reason. Very disappointed that a simple oil change turned in to me being without my vehicle for days and spending more time at the dealership days after the scheduled appointment. Thanks Seth for all that you did to help! You were great! And please place some hand sanitizer at the coffee/snack station in the lobby. I witnessed a couple touch their dog, who should not have been allowed inside (didn’t appear to be a registered service animal) then went on to fix coffee and touch food and other things at the station. I have a dog but I am considerate of others and would never do that! Very disappointed! More

Outstanding Service Experience – Top-Tier Team at BMW of Columbia I recently had the pleasure of working with the service department at BMW of Columbia, and I have to say—it was truly a 5-star experience Columbia I recently had the pleasure of working with the service department at BMW of Columbia, and I have to say—it was truly a 5-star experience from start to finish. My service advisor, Saint, was exceptional. He was professional, attentive, and kept me informed every step of the way. He made the entire process seamless and stress-free. It’s rare to find someone who blends expertise with genuine care, and Saint delivered both. A special thank you also to Sam, the General Manager. It’s clear that he leads by example by creating an atmosphere of excellence and customer-first service. He went above and beyond to ensure my wait was extremely pleasant. His presence and leadership were noticeable throughout the experience. Other GMs can take notes. And let me not forget Zac in the Parts Department. Zac was friendly, knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure I had everything I needed. His follow-through and attention to detail were outstanding. The entire team at BMW of Columbia works in sync, and it shows. From check-in to pick-up, the professionalism, efficiency, and warm hospitality were second to none. If you’re looking for a dealership that treats you with respect, communicates clearly, and genuinely values your time—look no further than BMW of Columbia. Highly recommended! More
Brought my car into BMW for routine maintenance and the experience was wonderful from start to finish. Getting the appointment was easy, took only one call. Once I got there, someone greeted me before I go experience was wonderful from start to finish. Getting the appointment was easy, took only one call. Once I got there, someone greeted me before I got out of my car. Went inside and checked in. Processed and form signed, waited with beverages and snacks available. 1 hour later I was getting back in my washed car. Great experience! More
