Harold Shelby and team rocked!

5 out of 5 starsby EY on 08/10/2025

Truly enjoyed working with Harold Shelby and the team at Silver Spring. Harold was direct and to the point. Didn’t waste my time negotiating. Got the best deal on first call and trust me, I shopped around!

  • Excellent service from Tae Yeon and team

    5 out of 5 starsby Matthew Fragale on 07/31/2020

    I just purchased my second X3 from BMW of Silver Spring this week. I purchased both vehicles (first one was CPO, second one was new) from Tae Yeon. Tae is very easy to work with - he is straightforward and easy going. I really appreciated that on both occasions he allowed me to take as much as time as I needed to look at different vehicles with different options so that I could be sure to get exactly what I wanted. He is also very prompt in returning emails and phone calls - both before and after the purchase - if you have any questions. Overall I am completely satisfied with my experience and highly recommend reaching out to Tae for your next vehicle purchase!

  • None Better

    5 out of 5 starsby SimpleMan61 on 07/28/2020

    After 15 years and 10 BMW's you'd think a letdown would be coming. Fact is, this dealership and specifically Andy Alexis have me looking forward to the next one! Service, Sales, Finance, the entire team makes you feel like part of the family and they always go above and beyond to satisfy me as a customer. Probably would not buy another brand and certainly would never buy one from any other dealership!
    • Hi, we're so glad that we were able to go above and beyond your expectations! We always strive to provide top quality service to every guest, and are pleased to hear that you enjoyed your experience here at BMW of Silver Spring!

    5 out of 5 starsby RBGinDC on 07/26/2020

    Bought my 3rd car (X3) from BMW of Silver Spring (and traded in one (M2) as well). I want to thank Max (sales manager) and Lonnie (client advisor), for their excellent service. I appreciated their straightforward, easy going, and attention to detail approach to car sales. I maximized my deal in a a friendly environment. Additionally, the dealership is updated and clean. COVID safety protocols present and apparent.

  • Great place to buy a car

    5 out of 5 starsby Great place to buy a car on 07/24/2020

    I was very impressed with my experience at BMW of Silver Spring. I bought a 3 year old auto from the sales rep Andy Alexis. He made the experience enjoyable due to his good natured, friendly relaxed style. I brought my niece with me so she could learn what is involved in buying a car and Andy took the time to discuss with her what is important to consider. He made sure to explain each step of the process and had the car washed and filled the gas tank. I would definitely go back to Andy next time I am in the market to buy a car.
    • Thank you for your support! We're happy we could help. We want all our customers to feel this way when leaving our dealership! Safe travels!

    We recently bought a BMW X3 from the BMW Silver Spring dealer. Our client advisor Gen was great to work with. He made the car purchasing process so smooth and simple that it happened in no time.

  • Outstanding service by Ms. Karen Herbert

    5 out of 5 starsby outstanding service on 07/19/2020

    Ms. Herbert responded in lightening fashion to our request for a manual transmission car. She knew her inventory well, and found one when other dealers could not. She is exceptionally knowledgeable and honest.

  • Great experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Good experience on 07/16/2020

    John Thomas was easy to deal with as tje internet sales manager. Struck a deal without coming in. Gen from his team helped us at time of delivery. Knew the car well and took the time to explain features and answer questions. Max the sales manager came by to check on us several times. Finance manager was easy to deal with offering the options and financing is a no pressure environment. Would definitely refer a friend to this dealer based on my experience.

  • Excellent Experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Bob on 07/15/2020

    Gen Awanohara is a great client advisor. He helped me identify the BMW model that fit the bill. He was patient, thorough and very knowledgeable about the features and options I was looking for. He is excellent and went the extra mile. Buying a new car is a major decision, but he made it easy. Iso was the Business Manager than helped me with the closing the deal. He was excellent as well; the process was efficient and transparent. Working with them both was a great experience.

    5 out of 5 starsby CM181 on 07/14/2020

    Working once again with Ron Askew, I recently acquired my 7th BMW from an awesome dealership - BMW of Silver Spring. Ron Askew is very knowledgeable. He listens attentively, and patiently responds to any question that you may have. Ron's professional approach to the procurement process, coupled with his warm personality, provided me with the very best car shopping experience ever. I will continue to come to BMW of Silver Spring for years to come.

  • 2020 M235xi GC

    5 out of 5 starsby Trey Nichols on 07/10/2020

    I had an excellent experience at BMW of Silver Spring. I initiated an online inquiry and Ben responded very quickly with the list of available vehicles that met my requirements. From the online inquiry to the drive off the lot I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Ben was personable, knowledgeable, & went out of his way to maximize my savings. 10/10 I’ll definitely be shopping here again. Also, thanks to Pedro in financing!
  • Great experience

    Had a great experience buying a car here. Gen Awanohara was super helpful and got me some discounts I wasn't planning on that ended up saving me a good amount of money. Overall very pleased and would gladly buy from here again!
  • Excellent experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Lis C on 07/09/2020

    This was our first BMW and after a lot of review, we decided to go to our "local" dealership. The process was very smooth, Mr. Awanohara was very easy to work with and was very patient and knowledgeable. We knew what we wanted, for the most part, so it was a very good experience. I highly recommend the dealership and Mr. Awanohara. Mr. Davila worked with us for the initial steps too, so we want to acknowledge his service and help prior to the purchase. Thank you both!
  • Love this dealer

    5 out of 5 starsby ZI YANG on 07/07/2020

    Purchased my first BMW from BMW of SS and had a great experience. Gen Awanohara, my salesperson, took a lot of time to find me the car I wanted and for the price within my budget. I literally looked at every local dealership in MD and VA (appx 10 total) and Gen was the only one that went the extra mile. I highly recommend.

  • Excellent experience

    5 out of 5 starsby CynthiaC on 06/29/2020

    We bought a pre-owned car today with the help of Lonnie Overby. We were very impressed by his responsiveness ahead of our appointment in answering our questions, and when we were ready to come in and see our vehicle, he had us in our new (to us) car and out the door in less than 3 hours. No high pressure sales tactics, up front with information, very fair in arriving at a price -- he is the ideal salesperson. Everyone else we dealt with at the dealership was very pleasant. We will definitely do business with this dealership again.
  • All round great experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Karen M on 06/28/2020

    Am a repeat customer in last 3 years and found the level of service and care to be really great both times. The team is busy, so having an appointment set and your research done is helpful to them to get the test drives set up. I worked with Ron Askew both times and is an all round knowledgeable sales advisor and can get you through negotiations expeditiously. Finance and service teams have also been really terrific as well during our first car.
  • Thank you

    5 out of 5 starsby Faye Liao on 06/25/2020

    Leased a BMW here 3 years ago and knew the dealer Kan as a life time friend. I am very glad that I randomly picked up this place which is far away from my home 3 years ago bc of a sales call. And it is worry free for me since then as Kan usually takes care everything for my car. Very positive experience and I wanna say, thank you, Kan.
