Jon Shafer (Bimmerfest founder) at BMW of Santa Maria gets my vote. Straight MSRP deal and no mark up on APR/MF. Great guy and provided excellent communications throughout the whole process. Finance dept was a breeze as well, signing took less than 15 minutes as they didn't try to sell any additional product. They're 3 hours north of LA and not too far of a drive from the Bay Area, wouldn't hesitate to buy again in the future. As far as I know the waitlist isn't too deep but they are a smaller dealer so allocations may be harder to come by.
I also worked with Dave Townsend at BMW Of Murrieta. Nice gentleman, easy to work with as well however his dealer is doing mandatory add-ons of tint and door edge guards ($499) so not a true MSRP deal. I'd rather go with my choice of tint/film rather than dealer's choice so in the end I went with Santa Maria. |

I highly recommend Peter Pan bmw in San Mateo. Got me an allocation in 2 months. They take a $1k deposit which I just mailed to them at time of order. They don't deposit the check, nor will they deposit it even if you cancel. No mark up either. I placed my order through Eugene
If you're from SoCal it'll help add those miles for the break in to!

I ended up going with Leo at BMW Mountain View (I’m in SF) who’s been great (at MSRP, though I think the financing rate is .5% above BMWFS). Last edited by nomad.hatter; 11-20-2022 at 05:22 PM.. |

Telling them you will write a check doesn't help - it hurts you. They make more on financing or lease. You are better off saying you will decide based on rates when you pick up. You can always write a check at pickup

He was over his head and lost the allocation.
Wait a few months and they will be selling closer to invoice.

'selling closer to invoice' would require dealers to have some just sitting around waiting. Not happening anytime soon. |

I just got my car from Weatherford Berkeley BMW, I personally worked with Jimmy Tu and Sue Luo. This is a truly a NO BS dealership, MSRP as is ( no hidden fees or other nonsense ). Getting the allocation is key but its definitely worth the wait.
I did most paperwork and signed online, and in and out of dealership in 20 min. They have 2 M4 available in stock in their show room if you want to check it out. Here is my breakdown: Call in to get inline - June allocation - 9/28 production start 10/23 , scheduled 11/04 exterior assembly - 11/01 paint -11/02 left factory - 11/04 arrived in US - 12/17 took delivery - 12/23 |
