38 years experience with Dave Walter Inc, including 33 with the BMW brand shows my passion for the brand as well as my ability and enthusiasm in satisfying customers for the long term. Some customers have returned to do business with me over 2 or 3 decades of loyalty. My experience at Dave Walter has included being Pre-Owned Manager, New Car Manager, Finance Manger and General Manager so I have a very well rounded base of talent to help you thru the buying or leasing process. Outside interests over the years have included having worked on the Formula 1 circuit during my college years in the early 70's, to being heavily involved with Boy Scouts here in Akron with my oldest son and also enjoyed a couple of years of racing in SCCA, even finishing the 24 Hour Race at Nelson's Ledges, winning First in Class and 5th overall with my teammates. I truly believe that "The relationship STARTS with the sale, it doesn't end with it"

Best BMW Dealership in the Area! As this was my first new car in over a decade, I went with something truly unique and special: a custom Individual 2016 BMW M5. Everything about the c As this was my first new car in over a decade, I went with something truly unique and special: a custom Individual 2016 BMW M5. Everything about the car was unique and made to my specific specs - from the frozen (matte) paint to the special custom interior. Through the almost 7-month process from ordering the car to European Delivery in Munich, Germany, nothing about this sale was ordinary. David and Eric made the process very smooth and painless and were knowledgeable in the BMW Individual ordering process - something not every BMW dealership in the area is well versed at. From the moment I contacted the dealership thru email to the moment I had my car re-delivered at the dealership after taking official delivery of the car in Munich, I was treated with respect and professionalism. Im in love with my car and obsessively care for it and I know it will be treated the same way when I bring it to the dealership at Dave Walter for regular service. Best dealership in the area, hands down! More

The true measure of a dealer is after they sell the car Dave Walter BMW is simply the best. Josh, Jason, Eric and the entire team actually care about you and the BMW driving experience. I have a voice com Dave Walter BMW is simply the best. Josh, Jason, Eric and the entire team actually care about you and the BMW driving experience. I have a voice command iPhone issue and they have spent hours figuring it out. They have driven in the car 3 times with me and even tested their own iPhones to fix this. They have spent time continually with BMW techs to get this right. All you can ask for in a service relationship is that they treat you with respect and honesty. I would give them more than 5 stars if dealer rater allowed it. You will never go wrong buying or servicing your car here. thanks to the boys in Akron! More

Customer Friendly Dave Walter BMW is a dealership that strives to meet the needs of their customer and is successful in doing so. Our experience with the manager and ou Dave Walter BMW is a dealership that strives to meet the needs of their customer and is successful in doing so. Our experience with the manager and our sales person was excellent. The manager showed respect to his employees as well as the customer. The manager and salesman listened to our needs and provided us with two solid options. We purchased a BMW and are happy with the purchase. Eric reviewed all the options on the car and even set up the technology which made our lives much easier! We have already referred a friend to Eric and this dealership. More

Above and Beyond Just picked you my 328xd. I had a great experience working with Eric Eisenhart and David Theado. I was looking for the diesel version of the 3 series Just picked you my 328xd. I had a great experience working with Eric Eisenhart and David Theado. I was looking for the diesel version of the 3 series and wasn't able to find it at my local BMW dealership. In fact, the sales person at that dealership told me the diesel wasn't stock very well and typically, the only way to get one was to order it. Well my trip to Dave Walter proved that information to be incorrect and they had several models with varying options. Outside of the selection, Eric's knowledge of the vehicle was impeccable. But the icing on the cake was that David Threado actually picked me up from my home and peronally drove me to the dealership on the day i was to pick up my car. More

My wife needed a vehicle that could accommoadate an installed sooter lift and the staff was great at helping us assess the vehicle for that purpose. And very importatntly, they had the right vehicle (color and options) in stock with a good lease deal. Any anxieties were completely calmed with a BMW Teddy Bear that was graciously thrown in with the deal! More

Working with both Eric and Shujaat on this recent purchase (our 5th BMW from Dave Walter) has made our experience with the team another wonderful pleasure. I have never entered a dealership before where you can feel as comfortable and welcome as we do here. We consider those at Dave Walter BMW our friends, and come with our highest recommendation. Thank you once again Eric and Shujaat! More

I found the car on BMW's Certified website. Eric matched the price on some similar vehicles and went on a test drive with me. I had to wait a bit to get in the finance office, but they had free hot matched the price on some similar vehicles and went on a test drive with me. I had to wait a bit to get in the finance office, but they had free hot dogs for us while we waited. I had all the purchase and pre-approval paperwork done before I arrived, so the finance office only took 30 minutes and we were on our way to Columbus for some beers before heading home the next day. They even had a porter pick me and my friend up at the airport as I am from St. Louis! Thanks guys, I love my car. I highly recommend the experience. -Kyle More

Want to hear a great and positive story?: I've been a client of Dave Walter BMW since 1983 and this is the third car I've purchased directly from Eric Eisenhart. I was in the service center having a client of Dave Walter BMW since 1983 and this is the third car I've purchased directly from Eric Eisenhart. I was in the service center having my 3 worked on when Eric came around the corner and we said hello to each other. He was aware that I'd been looking to buy a nice 5, but hadn't found one yet. On a whim I asked Eric if he had anything special to look at, and he said, "...as a matter of fact I might have just got in the car you want, let's go look!...". Well, long story short, Eric had the exact car I wanted, the friendly dealing and gentlemanly negotiations were done before noon... and I drove out to dinner that night in my new car. How easy is that! You want to know why I rate Dave Walters BMW so high.. One word... TRUST. Trust is everything! My dad always told me, “trust is earned, not granted”. All I can say is, over the years Dave, Eric and the entire Dave Walter team have earned my trust to the point that when Eric said, "this is a really good car", I believed him and bought it. I hope YOU believe ME when I tell you that, if you deal with Eric, it will be a positive, professional and pleasant experience... and he WILL find the car you want. Oh... and by the way, the Service Department staff from Keith, Josh and Brandon to Jeff and all the Master Technicians in Dave's spotless shop are all honest, straightforward, absolute professionals. Thanks guys, you're great! TMA More
