BEST ED Dealer in SoCal area?

Fugly M3 · 06-21-2016, 01:03 PM

Who to order from for European Delivery? The fleet guy I like at south bay seems to be giving push back on negotiating up from ED invoice. Who do we recommend? Would need to order relatively quickly for September production, early October delivery. Thanks.

Have you tried Derek @ Shelly BMW? I did ED with them. Good experience.

+1

I got a great deal with Derek at Shelly. The ED purchase process with him very smooth. Easy deal I've ever done on a new car.

How much over ED invoice did you all get your cars at, if I may ask?

David, Quinn and Jimmy @ Steve Thomas BMW were awesome. Best price on the west coast period, on my custom M235. Delivered early, with everything exactly as described. No games with these guys. I'd recommend them to anyone. Jimmy does a great job keeping you in the loop and answering any of your questions after ordering with the process.

Fugly M3 · 07-06-2016, 05:31 PM

Thanks to everyone for the input! I ended up going with Derek at Shelly. He's been super communicative and easy. Car is a "back to basics" BMW:

230i 8AT
668
KCCX
ZCW
ZLP
ZTR

Or Jet Black on oyster sensatec, cold, light and track packs. Unfortunately, I just can't do a stick for DD anymore...wish I could!

$500 over ED invoice was great. Road trip planning to do!!!!
