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!

  • Buying recommendation for Lonnie

    5 out of 5 starsby Terry on 06/22/2020

    I worked with Lonnie Overby and had a great buying experience. Lonnie was quite knowledgeable and helpful and made the whole process that much easier. Also, He has checked in with me several times after I got home making sure that everything was fine. Highly recommend Lonnie!
  • Great price, no games

    5 out of 5 starsby Mike on 06/19/2020

    This was a great place. If you are on the market for a vehicle go here and ask specifically for Gen. I did a lot of research prior to buying my vehicle for what I should be paying for it and at what terms. Gen was straight forward and very honest, leaving nothing for me to really haggle over since he started with the right price.

    Ron Askew was my sales advisor. He did a great job of finding a vehicle that I desired. I will be referring my brother to him!
  • BMW of Silver Spring

    5 out of 5 starsby David Alperin on 06/16/2020

    We had an outstanding experience working with Gen Awanohara. He made the process smooth and easy when we acquired our new Z4 roadster. I strongly recommend both Gen and BMW of Silver Spring
  • Honest and straightforward sales experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Michelle R on 06/16/2020

    Had a fantastic experience from beginning to end with Gen Awanohara. No gimmicks or sales tactics here which was such a refreshing change from other dealerships — really decent prices and transparency at every step. Also appreciated not feeling “sold to”; just genuine help and interest throughout the process. Great experience!
  • Great Experience

    5 out of 5 starsby Emily on 06/14/2020

    I had a great experience with Andy Alexis! He was very professional, helpful, and friendly. He helped finalize my purchase of a 2 series Gran Coupe and made the entire process very easy and enjoyable. I will definitely reach out to Andy in the future when I am looking for a BMW!
  • New X4 Buyer

    5 out of 5 starsby New X4 Buyer on 06/13/2020

    Walked in at 2 pm for an X4 test drive with a Costco quote. Drove out with a new car around 6:30 pm. Was easy and straight forward working with Ben Peter
  • Great Experience w/Ron

    5 out of 5 starsby Tiffany S on 06/13/2020

    I was introduced to this dealership by John in the loaner department, who then, introduced me to my Sales Advisor, Ron Askew. I had my eye on the X6 M and my process was pretty straight forward and smooth from start to finish. Ron was a straight shooter and I appreciated that... I didn’t want a salesman, I know BMWs, I’ve owned two, so he didn’t need to sell me the car. What he did was he made sure I was able to test drive it and really feel it bcuz I’ve never owned an M. I appreciated that more than anything... He introduced me to Sheriff, who literally walked me thru every aspect of that vehicle when it came to the specs of an M. Ron then took care of any loose ends I needed regarding my trade in, and he put me in the right hands via finance, with Iso Ebong to close the deal. I never felt pressured, everyone was professional and I’d definitely recommend Ron to anyone!

  • Gen literally went the extra 200 miles

    5 out of 5 starsby Going the extra 200 miles on 06/07/2020

    We were getting ready for a vacation trip to the beach and decided on short notice to finalize the purchase a M240iX convertible the day before we left. Our salesman, Gen Awanohara, literally went 200 miles round-trip to pick up our selected car from another dealership, on his day off, to have it ready for us on a Saturday morning. We would give a 6 star review if that was an available option.

  • Good experience with BMW of Silver Spring

    5 out of 5 starsby Kryu on 06/01/2020

    My sister drove a BMW X1 and it was a good car. I became interest in X3. I found a good used X3 and contacted BMW of Silver Spring. Gen Awanohara at sales contacted me and sent information packages such as photos, BMW certified used car inspection in advance before my test drive. Gen was very helpful, courteous, prepared and responsive. He explained well about a car and tried to help me find a good car for me and financial deal. I will definitely recommend him up for family vehicle. It was pleasure to work with him.
  • My M240i Convertible

    5 out of 5 starsby Scott MacIntire on 05/30/2020

    Great selection, they had four M240i’s in stock. We worked with Gen, nice guy and very helpful. He knew the car from top to bottom and did his best to make a deal.
  • FIVE STARS and BEYOND!!!

    5 out of 5 starsby C Rizzuto on 05/30/2020

    I had the pleasure of discussing this purchase with Kan Zhou of BMW of Sliver Spring, MD. My first connection with Kan was thru the Costco Auto Purchase Service. I had many questions and also various concerns since I was an out of state buyer for Florida and we never actually met; Kan made the entire process simple and easy. Kan is extremely patient and extremely easy to work with. He always followed up, he truley cared about the entire process and made the car buying process fully enjoyable. The purchase started with ordering the vechile thru BMW via Kan and then delivery was to take place in March however we all faced Covid 19...again...Kan made the process easy.

  • High end experience with a great price

    5 out of 5 starsby AT on 05/28/2020

    Our family was in the market for a mini van and BMW of Silver Spring had a very nice used one. Ron Askew was professional, courteous and went further than any other sales person we had interacted with to get my family's business. He was low pressure and went out of his way to make us happy. I will definitely look him up for our next family vehicle. This dealership makes you feel like a cared for customer. Even the little things like the complimentary iced coffees, giving us a final vehicle detail job and a gas top off made us feel special. Jaimie the manager also went out of his way to explain some of the trickier features on the van. Please check them out. Ask for Ron. I could tell he was smiling even behind his Covid-19 mask. Thanks Ron.
    • Thank you for your positive review. We're glad to hear that you found our team here at BMW of Silver Spring so helpful in the purchase of your new vehicle. Thank you so much for choosing BMW of Silver Spring as your first choice for service!

  • Great Experience at BMW of Silver Spring

    5 out of 5 starsby George S on 05/28/2020

    I traded in my 2014 X3 for a 2020 X3 at BMW of Silver Spring. I had seen the 2020 X3 on the internet and the car on the lot was exactly as described. I worked with Ron Askew in Sales. He was professional, knowledgeable and customer oriented. He answered my questions, made a fair offer and we closed the deal. Iso Ebong in Finance made the paperwork process go quickly. I drove as a very satisfied customer.
  • Used Purcahse

  • A Childhood Dream Come True Made Possible by BMW of SS Staff

    5 out of 5 starsby C Pagan on 05/13/2020

    I grew up with a love for cars, and that was partly inspired by the E36 generation of M3 coupes. As I got older, I started to figure out exactly what I wanted out of my dream BMW build. When I saw that that build, albeit on a 4 series, was available at SS, I had to see it in person. Ron Askew scheduled me to come in just so I could sit in in, and maybe ride around a little bit. He could tell just how awestruck I was when I sat in the driver seat. To be fair, he probably knew it was a wrap before I did, but that is his job. I ended up spending all afternoon at the shop, and a lot of that time was spent just having a chat with Ron. He was incredibly personal, understanding, and knowledgeable. He personally made sure that I was set. When it was time to put pen to paper, he and the Business Manager, Iso Ebong, did everything they could to get me the best deal possible. It was really dope. In the middle of trying to make things happen, they remained personable, and it was an incredible experience. I know they were just doing their jobs, but if this is what I can expect from BMW across the board, I don't think I'll have another brand of car.
