Sales, repairs and finance great - “Genius” staff not great The only reason I did not give a 10 star rating is because of the lack of attention provided by the BMW genius staff. He was on his cell phone lookin The only reason I did not give a 10 star rating is because of the lack of attention provided by the BMW genius staff. He was on his cell phone looking at emails the entire 10 minutes he spent with me, and was completely disinterested in showing me the newest features of the BMW 330i. I have owned 2 prior models - a BMW 328ix and 328i models - with plenty of upgrades, but the latest 330i with active cockpit, remote start, and Apple car play had a few features I was not familiar with and he did not bother to demonstrate. I still have not figured out remote start. Even worse, he provided completely erroneous information about charging an Apple iPhone. Not only did he say that I had to purchase a special cord, he had no idea there was wireless charging in addition to a standard Apple plug-in charger. When I asked about the standard charging port I noticed near the cup holders, he said that would not work with an Apple charger. Wrong! His attitude and lack of knowledge was very disappointing. For anyone spending almost $50,000 (or more) on a new car, they should get better service from the Genius staff. Fortunately, my longtime sales person, always goes above and beyond and corrected the erroneous information the “Genius” provided. If you are going to employ a staff of “Geniuses” so that the sales staff can focus on the bottom line - selling cars - they should be willing to do their job. More

I have recently purc After receiving an email from Ferman BMW up to 5 Qt synthetic oil change for $59 I decided to take advantage of this great price. I have recently purchased a 2007 X5 privately, I thought this was a great chance to confirm with the included inspection to ensure I had a safe good running older BMW. No pressure to buy anything other was a plus. My car took 8 quarts, with the sale I still only paid $75. Left felt like I got a deal,as well as assured no current issues could be found. More

My experience Working with Dan MacDonald on the purchase of my new bmw was a pleasant experience. Even though I had not scheduled an appointment, Dan took the tim Working with Dan MacDonald on the purchase of my new bmw was a pleasant experience. Even though I had not scheduled an appointment, Dan took the time to make sure I was able to test drive the vehicle I was interested in, even though the dealership was close to closing time. When I returned for the second time, Dan greeted me promptly, and had the vehicle ready for a longer and more thorough test drive; he was not pushy at all. He made the buying process simple, and also threw in some BMW branded tire valve covers for my new car. The finance director Scott Douglas was awesome, and even got my credit union to offer me a lower % interest rate on my loan. Finally, working with Kenny Russell to understand the features of the vehicle was great. He answered all of my questions and spent at least 45 mins going over everything I’d need to know... My overall experience was A++ More

Came for the cars bought because of Dan! My wife and I went late to try and avoid the salesman attack. After looking at a few we were spotted anyway. To our surprise, Dan encouraged us to ju My wife and I went late to try and avoid the salesman attack. After looking at a few we were spotted anyway. To our surprise, Dan encouraged us to just look around, gave us a card and let us be for a few. Noticing that we settled on a few he offered to get the keys for a couple and again let is be for a while. He was supposed to leave at 8 but stuck around if we needed him. At nearly 9 we did some quick paperwork and we had an overnight test drive. We chose poorly that first night and traded a Mercedes out for a BMW the next day, again with no pressure. A day with that car and we were sold. Negotiations were straight forward and the final transaction went well. I don't tolerate the high pressure tactics and we never felt pressured at all. This dealership sold this car to me because of that. Well done Dan and Ferman. We will be back. More

That was a horrible experience, the cars on the lot were dirty and no one came out to help us. After going inside it was like we were bothering them on their lunch and was told what we had is what you see. We went to the new side and spoke to Diego. He went above and beyond and looked up all the trucks that fit our needs. He printed out the info and directed us to the Ferman BMW dealer. Diego made us feel important. We drove over to Ferman BMW and ended up speaking to Dan. We took it for a test drive and noticed a whining noise that we very concerning. We ended up leaving and going to a GMC dealer across the street. Dan called us back and had a tech with him and found the issue and asked us to come back. We ended up coming back and Dan and the Tech spent 45 minutes explaining all the features and benefits of the truck. Dan closed the deal, if not for Dan we would have bought elsewhere. Dan continued to spend some quality time with us up to the end. Dan made us feel like an important customer. More
