I’ve purchased over 50 vehicles nationwide — including Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, and even Kias — and I can honestly say that my experience with Athens BMW has been one of the best, if not the best, I’ve ever had.
During my search, I worked with four BMW dealers across two states. Every one of them offered between 4% and 10% off MSRP, and even BMW’s national promo only reflects an 8% discount — on a lower-spec i5, at that.
Athens BMW stepped up with a 17 % discount on a fully loaded 2025 i5 M60, a car that stickers $12,000 higher than the national promo, and still gave me $2,000 more for my trade than anyone else. That level of transparency, pricing, and execution is almost impossible to find.
I’m not a tire-kicker, but I’m not easy either. I had very specific must-haves: the deal had to be structured as a business lease under my LLC, with me only as the personal guarantor and no personal credit reporting.
Steve in Finance made it happen — and even verified it directly with BMW Financial Services corporate.
So, if you’re like me — a business owner who wants to lease through your company, keep your personal DTI low, and avoid adding new auto tradelines — Athens BMW and BMW Financial Services are the team to see.
I’m not local to Athens; about 75 % of this deal was handled by text and email, and it was completely seamless. These guys can easily work with anyone nationwide — but if you’re within driving distance, do yourself a favor and visit the store.
Dakota handled everything professionally from start to finish, Steve made the process smooth and transparent, Daryl (GSM) structured a deal no one else could touch, and Mr. Whitlow (GM) clearly runs the dealership with integrity and precision.
I’ve bought BMWs from multiple dealers around the country, and Athens BMW is now my #1 choice for professionalism, pricing, and customer care. If you’re shopping anywhere in the Southeast, make the drive — this team is the real deal. 👏
