This was the Best Experience I've ever had! Through a friend I was directed to Ganley to lease a new BMW. The manager, Bob Stecker called me the next day and we set up an appointment. He took Through a friend I was directed to Ganley to lease a new BMW. The manager, Bob Stecker called me the next day and we set up an appointment. He took the preliminary information from me & introduced me to my Sales Person, Howard Schneider, who is a "Rock Star". He handled the entire process efficiently & professionaly and I was so impressed. He set my appt. with the Finance Mgr., Mike Niedzwiecki who was outstanding. I was then turned over to the "Expert" Dirk Steffen, who instructed me how to use all the "Toys" in my new car. He was so great I actually understood him. This dealership gets a 5 Star rating all the way around! I'll recommend this Dealership & this entire Team to everyone I know! More

A PROFESSIONAL, COMMITTED TEAM My past car-buying experiences had led me to hold a negative view of automobile dealerships' selling practices. Fortunately, I've recently learned tha My past car-buying experiences had led me to hold a negative view of automobile dealerships' selling practices. Fortunately, I've recently learned that all dealerships are, in fact, NOT alike. My initial contact with BMW of Westlake was a phone call, in which I was up front about my distaste for dealing with dealerships, with Jerry Mancini. During and subsequent to that initial call, I was treated respectfully, every step of the way. It was refreshing to not have to contend with the 'maneuvering' that so often makes the car buying experience so adversarial and unsavory. This is an exceptional team with strong leadership, evident in the atmosphere of the dealership. I was able to puchase a great vehicle at a fair price-and it wasn't painful to do so. More

2017 BMW X4 M40i Purchase I originally made the 1 hour drive to BMW of Westlake because they were the only BMW dealer in my area that had an X4 M40i I could test drive. My inte I originally made the 1 hour drive to BMW of Westlake because they were the only BMW dealer in my area that had an X4 M40i I could test drive. My intent was to order this vehicle from a dealer closer to where I live, but the guys at BMW of Westlake (Adam Moon, John Caruso, Mike Niedzwiecki, and Dirk Steffen) were so excellent to work with I decided to forget about my local dealer. Adam was extremely friendly, John's knowledge of BMW vehicles was impressive, Mike made the paperwork go by with ease, and Dirk (BMW Genius) provided a superior overview of my new X4 once it arrived. I highly recommend these guys and the BMW of Westlake dealership. More

Very professional in all aspects I visited BMW of Westlake when looking to lease a new BMW X1. My reasons were their proximity to our house and good previous experience in servicing I visited BMW of Westlake when looking to lease a new BMW X1. My reasons were their proximity to our house and good previous experience in servicing first our 2004 325i convertible and now our 2012 128i convertible. Upon arrival I was greeted by Sales Consultant Alicia Taylor who handled my transaction. I was impressed with Alicia's professionalism and knowledge of the vehicle. I was trading in our 2013 MINI Clubman S. The financial negotiations were taken care of smoothly, respectfully and quickly by Alicia and Adam Moon.. While the initial paperwork was being drawn up I was offered a chance to drive one of the new I8 hybrids with Dirk Steffen. Out of my price range but a real unexpected treat for a "car guy". We arranged to have the X1 ready two days later and the delivery also went smoothly with the vehicle completely detailed and checked out. I was given a operation and feature run through by Cameron LaPorte who answered all of my initial questions. My wife will be going back for an "encore" class this week. All in all I feel that the buying and delivery experience couldn't be improved upon and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend BMW of Westlake to any prospective BMW shoppers. I look forward to having the X1 serviced by them over the next 4 years. More

My First BMW As a young professional who is inexperienced in purchasing a car, I could not have asked for more from Q. We communicated for over a month, brainstorm As a young professional who is inexperienced in purchasing a car, I could not have asked for more from Q. We communicated for over a month, brainstorming cars and sending links back and forth to make sure he understood exactly what I wanted. He was incredibly patient each time I changed my mind, and finally found me an unbelievable deal on a car I never thought I could afford. He was overly generous with my trade-in, offering well above all competing dealerships in the area. Q has an incredible talent with people and cars. He treated me as family from the first moment, and gave honest and knowledgeable information throughout the entire process. I will never buy a car from anyone else. Thank you again to the whole BMW team, I appreciate all of your kindness that made this stressful process enjoyable! More
