Altanta, Ga BMW Dealers?

larryn · 07-07-2006, 09:47 AM

Contact adrian's bmw via PM at bimmerfest.com (Adrian Avila). He'll hook you up with a decent price, plus he's a hell of a nice guy. I was on a Project Gotham 2 Xbox racing league with him a couple of years ago. I also know of lots of people he's hooked up over the years.

I think that once Jon Shafer left Cutter (and offering "enthusiast pricing") Nally and Adrian picked up the ball.

wahoo · 07-07-2006, 05:07 PM

3rd vote for Adrian and Mark Tishler.

orange49 · 07-28-2006, 09:54 AM

Another vote for Justin @ BMW of Macon. Got the best price from him, upfront, no haggling, no "let me go talk my manger crap". They also will pick-up and deliver anywhere in GA.

Tolli Poff United BMW Gwinnett.. very good price and service.

wantmye90 · 09-04-2006, 08:46 AM

Danny Castellano at Global. He's honest, patient, and someone with good character. I'd buy from him again.

oldaccount · 09-14-2006, 10:59 PM

Another vote for Adrian Avila at Nalley BMW. I ordered my e92 335i from him for a great price

Purchased a 2006 BMW 325i in summer '06 at United in Roswell. Jim Thompkins was the salesman we used over the internet. He was professional, direct and to the point on price and availability. None of the annoying games you usually get. He answered questions and replied promptly. Car was ready when promised and the price was competitive, though I forget the exact price now. It was maybe $1100 off msrp after fees. I think it was a pretty good price for a car that had just come out a few months earlier. Jim even helped us when we had a problem getting the service dept to call us back promptly on a routine service visit. They gave us a little coupe convertible as a loaner for what was basically an oil change. So far no complaints with them. Chose them primarily because they are by far the closest to our home and the fact that we'd visited Global in years past and didn't like the snobby attitude we got there when dressed casually. They also did repair work on our '98 540i and again had lots of attitude. United Gwinett did work for us on another 540i and was very professional and helpful in the attitude. So we went with the closer United dealer this time around and were satisfied.

parkpo31 · 01-03-2007, 01:59 PM

Shopped all of the Atlanta dealerships as well as Athens and Macon. Got the best deal/value from Global Imports. I would highly recommend Greg Jordan. He has been professional, knowledgable and responsive throughout the entire shopping, purchasing and ordering process.

stinky2099 · 01-29-2007, 04:36 PM

what kind of prcies were you guys getting from nalley for the e92 like above invoice or percent off?

grantn17 · 02-28-2007, 08:44 PM

One thing to consider is how you will be treated in regard to the routine tunes - a lot of dealers (at least in the Atlanta area) move you to the bottom of the list if you did not purchase your vehicle from them. Unfortunately, Global is my most local dealer so I have to deal with Ford Focus replacement cars and shoddy service practices...

Also, when I was thinking about a new 335, when I walked in the guy who had called me 10 times over the past fews months didn't recognize me...

grantn17 · 02-28-2007, 08:46 PM

Your best bet is negotiate the best deal with who you want to service your vehicle; that will save you the most money in the long run.

rmorin49 · 03-01-2007, 08:45 PM

Highly recommend Adrian. He is an honest, stand-up guy, specializes in ED but he will treat you right.

iwanta335 · 03-05-2007, 03:12 PM

Another vote for Jim Tompkins at United Roswell. I contacted him via email, got the price I wanted with no hassles. By far, the best car buying experience I have had.

I've never had a good experience there and they've insulted my wife a couple of times...asked her if she could really afford a 5series b/c she was driving a loaner rental since the GS was totaled...too bad, so sad...bought a GS400 outright. Can't say enough about Nalley in Decatur and Mark. Global, politely, sucks...

Mark Tishler has moved to Global and the environment there has changed accordingly. come see us!!

cameba5 · 08-08-2007, 10:33 AM

Global couldn't have offered us any better service or sales. Everyone I know has gone with Global. Also, the sive of the dealership allows them to obtain cars quickly.

Gesler · 08-08-2007, 12:01 PM

yet another vote for Jim Tompkins with United BMW of Roswell. One of the few to actually respond to my online quote request (from dealerships in AR, TX, IL, MN, TN, GA). The whole process was very pleasant straightforward and hassle free and i got a decent deal.

deval79 · 08-30-2007, 11:30 AM

My CA was Rob Zweig at Nalley, got about 1500 over invoice on my ED e92...much better than Global, where the service was very iffy, I walked in there and the first 2 salesman didnt want anything to do with me, then the offer was MSRP...I wont go back there, it was my first car and they took all the excitement out of it, Rob on the other hand made it really fun to buy a new car.

jimi_hoffa · 10-02-2007, 07:45 PM

I ordered my car through Global Imports. I have had a great experience with the purchase process of my new 335i. Chris Arlotta is my CA and is an awesome guy. I have also worked with Marianne Lattal, and can not say enough good things about her as well.

I have heard bad things about their service dept. and really hope I am proven wrong.

wrh3 · 01-16-2008, 01:20 PM

I dealt with Thad at Nalley and will NEVER buy another car there. Between the deceitful way they do business and the lack of customer service after the sale, I don't see how they stay in business.

FWIW, my post sale service at United Duluth has been great and that is where I will probably buy my next BMW.
