My dealer who promised me $1200 over ED invoice now is stuck at $1400 over invoice and I won't budge as I already had an agreed upon price - it's an ethics issue at this point.

Any recommended dealers in SoCal (or nearby) that you can submit to me? I'd like a name, dealer, and email address if possible so I can send my configuration to them via email and get my confirmation of quote that way.

Thanks in advance.

I have bought my last 3 BMW's at Long Beach BMW in Signal Hill and have been satisfied. I dealt with Hank Castillo and it was thru a Costco referral. Just tell him you got his name from Costco. His email is hankc@longbeachbmw.com. His partner is Peter Jurinek email peterj@longbeachbmw.com. Phone number for Hank is 562.427.0017. Good luck!

bought two from Hank Castillo at LB BMW got fair deal. Did ED for both. He is knowledgeable about ED. LB BMW is a good dealer from my experience. Handy, off 405 between 605 and LB freeway.

Hank couldn't come close to matching what the other dealer was offering me, unfortunately.

Sorry to hear that. You have to go where the deals are. Many times it depends on the dealers level of inventory and need for the business. Guess LB BMW is doing to well right now.

Good luck with your new ride.
