  • "Worst BMW dealer in the UK, ill keep it short, if you have a problem, they don,t want to help you, i recieved a phone call 3 months after my original fault only because BMW Finance told them to call me or the car would get rejected, which it has been now, the pics below with the faults they did not want to help, was told don,t worry about it unless the EML light goes off, no not having it, its a M4 competition at the end of the day and finally their customer services is absolutely shocking i dealt with a guy called BARRY worst guy on the planet and will be putting a complaint in about him in writing to head office, i wont be spoken to like that again, never ever buy a car from this dealer, you say i have not been communicating with yourselves so i will upload the call logs then, so thats not your numbers then, and you only accepted rejection yesterday as bmw fs was happy with rejection not yourselves."
  • "I know my car was pristine when it went in."
  • "This is possibly the worst dealer I have ever purchased a car from."

  • "Redesigned showroom is very impressive - much more open and more cars on display."
  • "Called in to look at the BMW Series 2, great showroom light and bright, good selection of new and used cars."

Cons:

  • "Came to view a specific model, had to squeeze into it parked between 10 other cars and rushed around the whole time."
  • "The access from the main road is not the best and parking is limited."
