Recommend Dealership in TX

phidailo · 10-09-2014, 12:54 PM

Hi everyone,

I'm planning to put a order in for a M3 by the end of the year. SSII/SO inspired from Sir Loin's pictures. Can someone recommend a good dealership in Houston for US or ED (not decided yet)? I'm willing to drive within TX for a good experience and a fair deal (-2K under MSRP).

I went to Momentum BMW in Katy a month ago and had a bad experience. The sales person wasn't friendly and said his manager would not allow me to test drive unless I put an order in first. I understand they want to keep miles low but it did not make sense to me to sit down and talk numbers first.

I've gone through the pricing threads and seen people order out of state. I'm not entirely comfortable with that but if there is someone that you recommend I'm willing to explore that option.

Thanks in advance!

BMW of Austin. But they have a long waiting list, for me I was on it for 3 months (for an M4).

I just got mine from West Houston this week and got a very fair deal. For the most part, they were good to deal with.

Ask for Alan or Dean and tell them Patrick with the Orange M4 sent you.

BMW of Austin has been good for me. Matt Terranella, first office on the corner, he sells LOTS of cars, nice and no BS.

Yes Matt in Austin was super helpful with me even when he knew he wasn't going to get a sale out of me. He was upfront about their wait list and went out of his way to arrange for me to see SO interior if I was interested

~$2k under MSRP is probably not a reasonable expectation for an ordered car in Texas at this juncture. Good luck with the purchase.
