Any CA recommendation for Valencia BMW (or Steve Thomas BMW)

hk328 · 06-28-2023, 04:33 PM

Does anyone have a CA recommendation from Valencia BMW? I moved in this area just about a year ago and wanted to see if there are any recommendations. Would it worthwhile to go to Steve Thomas given they are pretty active in this forum? Thanks for your help.

Jimmy is the guy at Stevethomas that does most of all of GOLFFRR evil bidding lol

Good group to work with. Never had experience with Valencia because I lived in Camarillo.

Thanks. I am willing to travel a bit for a good experience.

You can also get good discounts on parts.

BMWPartpros is also a sponsor here and is located right inside the dealership.
Brit is awesome to work with and you can also waive delivery charges by telling her to do a will-call.

You’ll still get stuck with CA taxes but as is life living here.

I bought my M3 from Sergik at Valencia. Nobody local would do MSRP at the time, and he was zero nonsense or BS. Flew in and drove it home.

Another shout-out for Jimmy @ Steve Thomas- great experience all around. I bought a 50 Jahre (Limerock Grey) from them in September last year after having been on waitlists at both Valencia and Steve Thomas since January '22.

Valencia at the time was jerking me around with waitlist positioning- I had negotiated an MSRP deal with the CA (Buck) and the dealership kept bumping me on the list for others that would pay more (I assume). I had previously bought my M2 from them in 2018 and it was a good experience, but this time was terrible.

Never could get much of a straight answer from Valencia on waitlist position, and Steve Thomas was much more transparent with theirs.

I ended up buying the 50 Jahre when it showed up there and letting my next-up order waitlist position go (they refunded my deposit).

Was going to add that I also live close to Valencia BMW (Santa Clarita), but Camarillo isn't far.

JC Mora was my CA in Valencia. Excellent dude. Got my G80 through him back in January and he still reaches out today just to see how things are going.

I’ve leased/purchased all my vehicles including all of my family and friends vehicles from Roger Carroll the manager at Rusnak BMW in Thousand Oaks. I cannot praise him enough for his work and honesty over the last five years. I will not buy a car from anyone else. I’ve always compared his numbers at all local dealers including Steve Thomas, Bob Smith and Valencia and he’s always been under by a long shot. The last time I spoke to Roger he said they were doing MSRP for all vehicles including the G80/82. rcarroll@rusnakautogroup.com

Our first car from him was a 2019 650i GC, the last one sold in the region, at the time we put $3500 down and the payment was $1252/mo. Valencia quoted $1700/mo with $6000 down for a 2019 640i GC a week earlier. That’s how insane the deal was.

I’ve also bought parts from Brit at Steve Thomas (https://www.bmwpartspros.com/) she’s awesome! And the prices are very fair.
