Potential M4 owner
Hey guys. Just recently joined and this is my first post! I've been lurking around this forum for the past few weeks. Tons of great info on here!
I'm from Calgary and I've been thinking about picking up an M4. Given the current economic state in Alberta, I'm thinking this might be a good time to purchase an M. Just wondering (for those of you in Calgary), which of the 2 dealerships you dealt with and any recommendations on who I should deal with. Being a potential first time BMW buyer, I just want to make sure I have the best possible experience. Feel free to reply or PM. Thanks! |

Also look to Edmonton's two dealers. A short jaunt up the highway. Try to play as many against each other

I have been dealing with BMW Gallery (Mike Chow). Have never been to the south store because it is just too far for me. My understanding is that the south store is the volume M dealer so you may get a better deal there.
Another member here was recently talking about buying a M3 and Calgary BMW offered him 3 or 4% discount on in stock vehicle (which is kinda weak). Seeing that I got 4% off on a factory order back in March 2014 I would expect the discount to be more because the vehicle is out for some time now. |

Thanks for the reply. That's a great discount you got there, given the circumstances. Right now, my intent is to trade in for a factory order. Unfortunately, there is nothing in their inventory that is spec'd to my liking. I know the 2016MY is coming up in the summer. Do you think it is worth while to wait for the next MY? |

I dealt with BMW Calgary as it is closer to me and more convenient for servicing. My SA changed part way through the process (I factory ordered and one day the old SA stopped responding...so I called, found out he was gone, and got passed along to someone new) To be frank, that was 'ok' but a bit of a disappointment. The guy who replaced him though is absolutely top notch. Extremely responsive and very willing to go an extra mile Examples:
Seriously. I email him saying when I want it serviced, he does all the rest. I have no idea how much he'll will deal on price (has been at it awhile, so I assume he is a good negotiator - but often those guys are the least BS and if you come at them with a good/fair number, you get your deal) but his customer service experience is easily the best of any car salesperson I've ever dealt with. My own view is I will sacrifice a bit on price for a better experience so even if I could have negotiated a slightly a better deal elsewhere, I don't think the experience from the time he took over could have been better. (and, frankly, BMW Calgary has not had a great service rep...a reason I was at one point hesitant to get a BMW from them....I am no longer hesitant) If you want his name/contact info, PM me and I will pass it along to you along with my name so you can use it on a reference.

I picked up my m4 end of January.
PM me, my sales guy at Calgary BMW was awesome to deal with. Couldn't be anymore professional and got an awesome deal too! myzmak, I think your SA sounds like mine... I went on a test drive last summer with my SA (he owned his own f82 at the time) and he was in the pilot seat for the first little bit, almost shit my pants but was nice to know the limits of the car from an experienced driver. It's nice dealing with sales guys who are also enthusiasts... |
