1st Impressions are everything and THEY NAILED IT! I recently purchased a new BMW 440i from Bridgewater BMW on 5/8/19 and they made the buying process easy from start to finish! They were very accommod I recently purchased a new BMW 440i from Bridgewater BMW on 5/8/19 and they made the buying process easy from start to finish! They were very accommodating from the time I walked in the door for my appointment, test driving the car, and not to mention the price being even lower than expected. The sales people I worked with were Mark Carvalho and Alex Hoebeke and they REALLLYYYYY worked their magic to get me into the vehicle of my choice, with the price I wanted. They were straight forward/honest with what they could do for my circumstance, kept me updated throughout the approval process., and very thorough with answering my questions and concerns. Lastly Mark and Alex went above and beyond with going over some concerns I had about returning my old leased vehicle and possible charges for minor damages etc. Once I was approved I worked with Joel Curran who assisted with the financial paperwork, and handling the maintenance, wheel and tire warranty. He was very patient and answered all my questions and concerns as well. I can honestly say that I would recommend BMW Bridgewater to friends/family and I look forward to leasing my next vehicle with them again. More

Experience with Joel Curran Joel acted arrogant and smug throughout our short time together. He acted as if he was doing me a favor by showing me the car. I found his demeanor Joel acted arrogant and smug throughout our short time together. He acted as if he was doing me a favor by showing me the car. I found his demeanor to be unprofessional and distasteful. I went there with the intention of purchasing a car but was so thrown off by Mr. Curran that I quickly decided that I would go somewhere else. There are so many BMW dealerships in the tri-state area but Mr. Curran acted as if I was very lucky to stumble upon his dealership. More

5 star service, 5 star professionalism Joel Curran is the sales person TO GO TO, if you want to have your car needs met. Short review: Joel was great. Very knowledgeable and if he did Joel Curran is the sales person TO GO TO, if you want to have your car needs met. Short review: Joel was great. Very knowledgeable and if he did not know something he went out of his way to figure out the information for you. Was NOT pushy at all, made sure you felt comfortable in what you were doing/buying. No BS at all, very honest person. Showed me respect right from the beginning and showed me exactly what I asked. He took me serious, as a serious buyer even though I am young and I can't thank him enough for that. The inspection took the longest(my friend and I), but inside the finance office with Dave, it was also a quick and painless time. 15 minutes of paperwork, showed me warranties but did not push any of them on me like other financial offices. Dave is also a funny person, but very professional. This place is close to an hour from my home, but will come here for my future BMW purchases and I HIGHLY recommend them (Long 5 star experience is below) Long review: Let me start off with my experience in looking for a E92 M3. First went to Bridgewater Acura(avoid) where they had a used one for sale. Scheduled a test drive and when I arrive, they say they do not do those on certain cars. (Thanks for letting me know after I drove an hour from home.) But if we agree on a price FIRST, then I can test drive the car. What? LOL Sure, I am young but I was a serious buyer knowing what I wanted. How can I agree on a price without test driving a car? FINALLY, they allow test drive and noticed 2 things. It rattles on the inside and the mechanical sun shade button was not working (costs $1,500 to fix btw). I tell my salesman this and he tells me that cannot be used as a negotiation tool and on top of that "you won't ever use that. I've had this car, never used it neither will you" Besides talking down to my friends and I because of our age, the looks of disgust when my girlfriend or friend's fiance would speak were appalling. !NOW TO THE 5 STAR BMW OF BRIDGEWATER EXPERIENCE! Drive a few miles up the road into BMW of Bridgewater. First of all, BEAUTIFUL on the inside and out. Very well organized in their show room, very bright, you feel comfortable there. Joel came over to help and told him I was looking for used M3, M4. He took me straight to the cars I asked for and he answered ALL of my questions. Finally I tell him in the end, if any E92 M3's come, please let me know. He's like "WE JUST GOT ONE!" Takes me to the back and there it is, a gorgeous car. Answers more questions took his time to make sure I knew what I was looking at and most important to me, TOOK ME SERIOUS AS A BUYER, not a guy in his early 20's looking to waste time. I leave my information and tell him thank you. Went out to eat but finally, decide to put a deposit on the car because I did not want it to go to anyone but me. The process was short, and I had a lot of questions but Joel and Dave were always there with an answer and suggestions (big thanks to them for patience). Finally the day comes for the inspection and everything goes great.(One small issue but they offered to take a look at it.) Took only 15 minutes to sign papers and the car was mine. Thank you BMW of Bridgewater for taking me serious, answer all questions, making me feel comfortable and for NOT being pushy. You defeat the "car sales" stereotype that exist out there and I will recommend EVERYONE I know that is looking for a BMW to this location. More

Buying a CPO BMW Experience What a great experience. Many times buying a car and great experience does not go together. But working with Joel Curran was a truly a great experienc What a great experience. Many times buying a car and great experience does not go together. But working with Joel Curran was a truly a great experience purchasing our CPO BMW X1. -I never felt pressured -Joel never tried to sell next higher thing -treated us as we are buying the most expensive car in the lot (we bought a cpo X1) - never tried the game of “ well this car is not for everyone” — He asked me when is a good time to call and did not start calling me every day. For what it is worth, I walked into the shroom in khakis and a sweater, but I wanna treated as a good customer. Definitely recommend this place and talk to Joel, you know what I mean. I’m a real buyer and we bought the X1 on 8th December 2018 Dave from finance is a real car guy, enjoyed taking about his M3 More
