Passport BMW

Long Distance Sale From MD to Midwest—Nana Prempeh was great We purchased a 2023 X5 40i Passport BMW Service Loaner in July 2023 that I found online from 1,200 miles away in the upper Midwest. It had the right exterior and interior colors that we were looking for and we wanted the 2023 to avoid the 2024 LCI changes with the curved instrument display and removal of climate control and other buttons. Passport had the exact car with a reasonable discount given it had been in service for 9 months and had 8,000 miles. Interestingly, many of our local Dealers had these same service loaners in different color combinations and similar mileage but they were still selling them for MSRP. Our local Dealer had one that they dropped $5k below MSRP in May or June but then raised it back to MSRP a week later due to “market conditions”. So we were interested in the one at Passport BMW. We had never bought a car online before but figured we would give it a shot with a Dealer. We searched the Passport BMW reviews and Nana Prempeh’s name came up many times from satisfied customers, so I gave him a call. He was just as nice and responsive as the reviews indicated and he had me signed up for the car within a day after he confirmed he had looked it over for any odd dings or dents etc and it was as nice as pictured. Nana even threw in some all weather mats and some BMW merchandise for us which was a nice touch given we never even met in person. Nana had us work with Davaughn Paige in the Finance Department to lock up the sale with a credit card amount and the rest financed through BMWFS, so no checks or wire transfers, etc. Davaughn explained all the optional programs available in light of the vehicle being a service loaner and not quite “new”. Nana also put us in contact with a shipping company that was great and gave us a quote for shipping it in a smaller two car covered trailer. We paid the shipper directly once Davaughn could release the car and they literally had it to our house (1,200 miles away) late the next day. The car came with a Maryland temporary plate in the back and it took some time to get everything flipped to our home state and get local plates issued but Passport took care of all that—all the local sales tax, registration fees and filings etc. Every time we contacted Nana to check on the status of our home state plates he responded promptly and assured us that they were on their way. All in all a great experience with Nana and Davaughn at Passport BMW. [contact info removed].
