Hello everyone! I will start by saying I won’t make your experience at a car dealership your typical one. I am a BMW advocate and with that passion, I get the most fulfillment getting hands on with my clients. I will assess your needs and desires to find you your perfect vehicle match. Lets not spend too much time at the desk because getting behind the wheel to discover the technology, safety, luxury and of course- performance, is the best part. Staying within your limits we can push the envelope so you can understand why BMW is named The Ultimate Driving Machine. I’ll open you up to a whole new world. So don’t miss out, I’m here to change the game and you'll find that the redundant, painful and boring days of vehicle shopping are gone.

In all that time James Orton has been our sales rep., service contact, financial advisor, and trusted friend. Even when he is working hard on sales events, he always takes the time to accommodate our needs and limitations, and he never makes any request seem like a bother. Not only can he tell you anything you want to know about these complex vehicles, you come away feeling you actually learned something! He is the biggest reason we have stayed with BMW of Crystal Lake for over two decades. (The X3s are great, too! ) Ed and Nancy Ponczek More

He guided me through the selection process with ease, answered all of my questions thoroughly, and made sure I felt confident in my decision.
