One of the best dealership experiences I've had was with BMW of Crystal Lake. There are 5+ BMW dealerships in my area, but I chose to purchase my X5M from BMW of Crystal Lake (about 800 miles away from BMW of Crystal Lake. There are 5+ BMW dealerships in my area, but I chose to purchase my X5M from BMW of Crystal Lake (about 800 miles away from me). I called out of the blue to inquire about one in stock, and the salesman, James Orton, was very responsive and shared a few details. I then worked with James & their sales manager, Heather Lublink, over the next week regarding pricing, general questions, financing, etc. Heather & James were extremely accommodating, responsive, and transparent. We reached a deal rather painlessly & I flew in to pick up the car about 2 weeks after the first call. The finance manager, Mike, was also wonderful to work with. He was straight forward, honest, and knowledgeable. Their BMW genius, Devon, was extremely professional and helpful during my airport pickup. Everyone at BMW of Crystal Lake was professional, accommodating, respectful, considerate, and just overall good people. Every negotiation felt like a normal conversation & I could tell they actually cared about my business and satisfaction. Most dealerships treated me like a nobody. Not this one! I really enjoyed working with them & getting to know everyone throughout the process. They all seemed just as excited as I was to take delivery! Big thanks to James, Heather, Mike, Devon, and everyone else involved in my X5M purchase/delivery & making it such a special day! Everyone truly went above & beyond - and it showed. I'll definitely be back for my next BMW; regardless of distance. More
