  • Conceited and dishonest

    1 out of 5 starsby Miryan on 07/01/2023

    On Saturday, June 22 I received an offer from this dealer to purchase a 2020 GLA listed at $24,868. On June 23 I replied that the location was too far for me and they replied that it could arrange for delivery, so I agreed and I got an offer on June 25 for $24,953 from Mike Teymouri, assuming the difference was for the delivery - albeit they also added "Coat Protection" for $995 without me asking for it! He sent me a video of the outside of the car (because they did not have keys). I accepted and provided documents for finance and a credit card for $1,500 deposit. He confirmed the receipt and said they would expect the keys in 2 days. On June 28 Mike informed that they were still waiting for the keys. On June 30, he informed that the car was there and they had some "clients waiting for it" - and that I would have to come at 8:45am the next day because of other people interested in the car. I said yes, and for confirmation that they would deliver the car afterward (I could not drive two cars back to Los Angeles.) He simply texted me "we don't deliver used cars". I contacted their general manager, Shane Boyd and their Sales Manager, Steve Army by email, as well as a message with their receptionist to have their CEO or president contact me but have not received any replies. This is a bait-and-switch operation, where they list the car for one price, give you an offer for a different price, agree to deliver - just to take it back when they find another person to fool.

  • Great experience from start to finish

    5 out of 5 starsby Ken Fulton on 06/27/2023

    The salesperson was extremely knowledgeable and went out of her way to find answers to difficult questions. The order was placed promptly, and she communicated with us throughout the transit from Germany to California. The delivery process was quick and comprehensive, as were the financial aspects of the deal. We could not be happier with the whole experience, and we love the new BMW.

  • Dream Machine

    5 out of 5 starsby Jim B on 05/08/2023

    Beautiful auto in a very pleasant setting. Helpful not-pushy sales staff. Pleasure to do business with Sterling.

  • Great to work with

    5 out of 5 starsby Dennis on 04/28/2023

    Aisha was wonderful to work with! The only problem I had was there was only one finance officer working that day so I waited hours. They were in the process of training someone so I know they're addressing the issue so I'm not docking any stars. I would say if you're buying any used cars that aren't BMW, do your research prior. I'm sure they're very knowledgeable on BMW cars but not other brands and tbh I don't expect them to be.

  • Prompt and courteous

    5 out of 5 starsby Kenny Smith on 04/28/2023

    Purchased vehicle online. The team at Sterling (Mika and Tina) made the process efficient and pleasant. They even helped with obtaining transportation to the East Coast.

  • Fixing the problem!

    5 out of 5 starsby Alva on 03/07/2022

    So I gotta say I was a little disappointed when I got to the dealer to pick up my car and it was the wrong one. But Brennan from sales and KJ from finance really turned this experience to a great one. They are both amazing and words cannot express my gratitude for such an amazing experience. They should get raises because they went above and beyond for me!

  • Bently Cheng

    5 out of 5 starsby Christine on 12/30/2021

    Purchasing our new X1 through Bently Cheng was a pleasurable experience. He was very friendly, accomodating, and courteous. We would definitely refer friends to him should they decide to purchase a BMW.

  • Did not add dealer markup to vehicle when all other BMW dealers did.

    5 out of 5 starsby Trey Goudy on 12/16/2021

    Leased a new BMW during the pandemic when supply was low at all dealerships. This was the only BMW dealership in So. Cal that did not add a ginormous dealer markup. Brennan ODonnel was friendly, efficient and made the deal pleasant.

  • DEALERSHIP CRASHED MY NEW CAR AND STILL DEMANDED FULL PRICE!

    1 out of 5 starsby Brendan McCann on 10/07/2021

    DEALERSHIP CRASHED MY NEW CAR AND STILL DEMANDED FULL PRICE! I ordered a 2022 X4M Competition from Sterling BMW and agreed to pay full MSRP for the car. I waited patiently for months, which is normal. The car arrived at the dealership today and I saw some emails saying I could come in and pick it up this afternoon, along with some photos of the brand new car to get me all excited. As soon as I responded saying I'd be in tomorrow morning, I received a call from my advisor. He tells me they crashed the car, but they are still willing to sell it to me for full MSRP! I just have to wait for it to get back from the body shop, which could take a while. I asked if they could work with me on the price - nope! Full price for a disassembled, repaired/refurbished, and reassembled car? My previous 2019 X4 was rear ended and I did extensive research and spoke to the body shop - even with OEM replacement parts, they are never able to match factory paint, and must repaint half of the car to blend adjacent panels, and then the reflections are all weird. I called BMWNA and they were SHOCKED that I received no concession from the dealership, and have opened an escalation. In the meantime, the dealership said they could order a replacement car but it would take months, and I said yes please. I guess it was just a bluff, because now they are not willing to order a replacement. I understand they accidents happen, but the way they handled it was completely unacceptable. Management did not reply to any of my emails either. I am a repeat Sterling customer that will NEVER do business here ever again!
  • Excellent Sales Team

    We bought our X3 through Costco. Sterling BMW was very easy to deal with. The process was very painless
  • Easy Purchase of Certified Pre-Owned BMW & Great Follow-Through Service

    5 out of 5 starsby Bimmer Me Up Scotty on 04/30/2021

    Worked with salesperson Mike Walters to purchase a 2018 certified pre-owned X3. The price listed for the X3 online was fair for the mileage and condition of the vehicle, so I didn’t really negotiate price. I came in with a BMW trade-in, for which I had already printed out an offer from Carmax. Sterling BMW honored the trade-in value, so we were ready to go! Financing went smoothly and quickly. There was some salesmanship during the financing process to promote different insurance and service coverages. I was comfortable with just the remaining original warranty and certified warranty on the vehicle, given its condition and low miles. The X3 was newly on the lot, so they hadn’t yet had time to make a couple of small cosmetic fixes I found. I pointed out these small fixes and was scheduled to come back on a separate day for the interior fixes and another day for the exterior. Mike was accommodating with scheduling these items and was good about following up with any communication. He was always quick to respond to my emails and texts. All-in-all, I had a very good experience with this dealership and the service they provided. The ultimate driving machine deserves a great dealer and service, and I believe I found that at Sterling BMW in Newport Beach.
  • Great experience at Sterling BMW

    5 out of 5 starsby Justin K on 04/26/2021

    I had the pleasure of working with Mike in the sales department. He helped me to find my new X5, which I am loving. Mike and the rest of his team were friendly, reasonable, and attentive. It was a great experience. I highly recommend visiting this dealership if you are in the market for a BMW.
  • Outstanding!!!!

    5 out of 5 starsby Jodi Brady on 04/25/2021

    Mike Walters was my sales advisor and I cannot remember the last time I enjoyed a car buying/leasing experience like I did on Friday. He called me about my initial inquiry, left information about the vehicle with ZERO pressure. Like most of us, I was a bit unsettled about going into ANY dealership and the process of the back and forth and the pressure of buying “now”. I WAS WRONG!!!!! From the moment he approached me to the moment I signed paperwork, I was thoroughly impressed!!!! He is no nonsense, very respectful and a joy to work with. The team at Sterling BMW is top notch, customer focused and changed my mind completely to what a car buying experience “should be”. I highly recommend STERLING BMW and especially Mike Walters if you want the best car buying experience EVER!! Also, thank you to Alex in finance for the laughs and guidance through the paperwork, you are great at your job! It’s only been two days with my BMW X2 so I haven’t had to utilize the service department yet, so I will review that end when I have.
