Great sales Department. The finance department is deceitful and has no moral compass at all. Buyer beware
This has been by far the best car buying experience I’ve encountered. We were welcomed in and taken care of in every aspect of the deal. Even with the hiccups the sales manager and finance faced with getting us a good structure, they pushed for me and in the end everyone was happy. I will refer any and everyone I know to Athens BMW from here on out. I really thank this team that made it happen for us meaning the way I needed it done. Barry( the salesman) and Richie( sales manager) has really shaped how I will ... Read More

The Service Department was friendly and knowledgeable. The diagnosis report on my issue was very thorough and included a detailed video of the problem.
Unfortunately, my third party extended warranty (Alpha) did not cover the defect of the mechanical failure of the component although it is a known design defect in material that fails due to thermal cycling.
I would recommend this dealership and the Service Department without hesitation
The warranty company would not receive my endorsement.
Also, BMW, as a manufacturer, should acknowledge the design defect that has a class action lawsuit pending and cover at least some of ... Read More

Excellent service and great time in and out. Very courteous and friendly. Refreshments was excellent also.
I am extremely disappointed with my experience purchasing a Certified Pre-Owned BMW from Athens BMW.
I purchased the vehicle sight unseen, trusting BMW’s Certified Pre-Owned inspection process and the dealership’s representation of the vehicle. The car had only approximately 8,500 miles when I purchased it. After driving it only about 1,500 miles, I had the tires inspected and learned that the front tires measure just 3 mm of tread while the rear tires are at 5 mm.
For a vehicle sold as Certified Pre-Owned with such low mileage, I did not expect to be facing the cost of replacing tires so soon. ... Read More

I am extremely satisfied with the service that I receive from Brian Wilson always explain to me what I need to keep my vehicle in perfect condition.
I made an appointment online for a recall on my i7 as well as shorted B&W speaker in the head rest. The earliest I could get a loaner (we live an hour away) was 4 weeks not great, but it wasn't urgent so I was ok with it. One week before the appointment Beth called to say that the service members who work on Saturday's couldn't address these issues and I would need to reschedule. She then went to look for a loaner and said it would be another 4-6 weeks before one would be available. ... Read More

Extremely disappointed with my service experience.
During a prior visit, I clearly asked to be contacted by my Service Advisor before any work was done, due to a
pre scheduled vacation, yet repairs were completed without my knowledge . I let it go at the time, hoping it was an isolated issue of poor internal communication.
I recently returned for a routine oil change, being I had previously purchased a 3 year maintenance plan. Within days my vehicle developed new issues that made it unsafe to drive. Despite receiving a “green check” on my vehicle’s condition, I was later given verbal ... Read More

Great customer interaction and very prompt, professional service. They exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend you check them out if you’re in the market for a BMW.
They are courteous, knowledgeable and professional
Mr. Joseph Coleman at BMW of Athens was an amazing person and awesome salesperson! Very personable proud Athenian and he made my experience excellent! Alex Kidd was also a pleasure to work with! Alex rode with me as I “test” drove the vehicle and he was a joy to talk to! We hugged as if we’ve know one another for years! Also another proud Athenian! Proud Clarke Central Alumni!
Technician identified necessary repairs as well as additional repairs to consider. I like that flexibility.
Demarcus was wonderful to work with during th buying process, he answered all my questions, was patient and not pushy in any way. Would highly recommend working with him!
Always appreciate the care and concern Athens BMW shows me and my family. Love my cars!
The entire staff at Athens BMW made our vehicle smooth and easy, even 5 hours away! I recommend them to everyone I know!
I absolutely love their service department. Aaron and Ruby always take care of me and keep me informed of every little thing so there are never any surprises when I am in for service. Highly recommend them!!!
Our experience with Athens BMW was outstanding. Terry Hosier, our advisor, knew his product line exceptionally well, was able to highlight key advantages vs competitive entries; he was able to speak at a high level, but also provide detailed explanations when asked. Negotiating and closing paperwork were handled with equal professionalism. What a great team! Looks good in my driveway too!
At Athens BMW I got the exact car that I wanted. The sales staff was professional, friendly, and processed the sale efficiently and quickly. Our specific sales person, Brian, was especially helpful because he knew everything in there was to know about the car and answered all my questions. I would highly recommend this dealership if you’re looking for a new BMW!
Demarcus and Tolli were amazing to work with. They treated my wife and I like family and like they knew us forever. There was no push towards things we didn’t want and no tricks. They took care of us! If you are looking for a BMW in Northeast GA, I wouldn’t go anywhere else nor would I work with anyone else!
Had a great experience and he made sure that I had everything I needed and more. Let me see and test drive and choose literally everything that I wanted for my car. Just had a overall great experience and he was very good at telling me what all the different packages and other things about the car that I didnt know.
Absolutely wonderful- Jarrett was knowledgeable, kind, patient and great sense of humor!!!
If you have a M do not get it serviced here!! I had the oil changed and the next day the car is telling me to add oil?!?! Took it back the service person I had was fired(that’s what I was told) and the guy kept saying M cars are funny with the sensors (really this is my third m car and this has never happened) never apologize asked to speak with manager never happened. I am the co manager. Ok?
Purchased a vehicle remotely and they made it very easy. Joe Campbell was very helpful in the process and everything went very smoothly.
Terry was lots of help to me and showed total professionalism. The financial man was also awesome and I love my car ❤️ Thank you all
Dakota and his team at Athens BMW treated me with 1st class, started by picking me up at Atlanta airport to finalizing the deal a few hours later. It started a week earlier virtually as I’m from Florida, but Dakota answered all my questions and concerns. Enjoying my new ride, if you’re thinking of a new or gently used BMW do yourself a favor and give Dakota a call or email.
Demarcus was great . He made my process quick and easy!
I recently purchased a car from Athens BMW. Terry is my sales representative and his service has phenomenal from start to finish,,..highly recommend
⭐ Zero Stars if Possible – BMW of Athens Review
I would leave zero stars if that were an option. This is hands down one of the most unprofessional and frustrating dealership experiences I’ve ever had.
We purchased a vehicle from BMW of Athens a little over a week ago. I currently have a broken foot, so I specifically asked that financing be completed in advance to minimize walking and time spent at the dealership. We were told financing was done and that we only needed to come in to sign paperwork.
Because we were driving from Midtown Atlanta, and my ... Read More

One of the worst dealership experiences I’ve ever had.
We purchased a vehicle, signed the finance paperwork, and had a confirmed appointment scheduled to pick up our BMW X6—only to receive a call the morning of pickup saying the vehicle was sold out from under us the night before by Darryl the GM
How does a dealership let alone the GM sell a vehicle that has already been contracted and scheduled for delivery? Why schedule an appointment and have customers sign finance documents if the deal isn’t honored?
What makes this even more disappointing is that my ... Read More

My wife and I bought a new X7 from Athens BMW. Our client representative was Brian Hinson, and our experience with Brian and Athens BMW in general was phenomenal. Brian is knowledgeable, courteous, kind, and professional. He knew the car inside and out, and was instrumental in our deciding to purchase our car. Steve Oh was our contact on the financial aspect of the purchase. Steve is also very knowledgeable, kind, and efficient with his part of the process. We found the atmosphere at Athens BMW to be a low pressure, and very inviting environment. Kudos to Athens BMW, particularly ... Read More

This is my third x3 I brought from Athens BMW and Barry has always been my sales person. He has always been responsive to my requests when choosing the features I want in my cars. It took me a week of going back and forth until I found the car I wanted and Barry was with me every step of the way. He is my forever BMW salesperson
It was fast and friendly service.
I had an excellent experience purchasing my BMW in Athens, GA, thanks to Barry. From start to finish, he was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely attentive to my needs. Barry took the time to answer all of my questions and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. He never made me feel rushed or pressured, which I truly appreciated. If you’re looking for a car salesman who is honest, responsive, and committed to providing top-notch customer service, I highly recommend working with Barry at BMW of Athens.
Wonderful experience through the whole process of buying a car!
Everyone was great, Joe was the easiest salesman I ever met. He stay late for us and everything moved Quickly and smooth. I would highly recommend Athen BMW and ask for Joe . He will take great care of you
We have officially reached an era where you pretty much need an attorney to accompany you at the sales table at car dealerships. It is unfortunate that I am having to leave a horrible review about this dealership, but I feel it is my duty inform the public about my experience at Athens BMW. My salesperson Barry has always been amazing. However I have had two bad experiences with two different sales managers on two separate purchases at this dealership. In my first bad purchase experience in 2021, the GM at the time was able to resolve the error the sales ... Read More

Demarcus is a kind and professional salesman. Found me a great deal on my car! Ps:: He’s also easy on the eyes!
I'm not looking for a 2026 vehicle I'm too old for a new car. You don't have a square body Chevy do you? 😂
We had the pleasure of meeting Dakota today, and looking at some vehicles. While we didn’t buy today, I can honestly say that Dakota, Steve, and GSM Darryl went above and beyond to help me look and choose options that would fit me. They didn’t pressure or try to take advantage of me like sometimes dealers do. I HIGHLY recommend this dealership if you want to be treated fairly. Thanks guys! ****updated to say that we went back today and purchased and it was an excellent experience!
I had an excellent experience working with Barry at Athens BMW. From start to finish, he was extremely professional, knowledgeable, and attentive. His customer service was truly top-tier—he made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable. Barry took the time to answer all of my questions and made sure I felt confident every step of the way. I received A+ service and could not be more satisfied. I will definitely be recommending Barry to anyone looking for a great car-buying experience at Athens BMW!
I purchased a vehicle from Joe Coleman and Athens BMW and had a fantastic experience. Joe was quick to respond to my questions/requests and helped make the whole process smooth and easy. Steve Oh in finance was professional and took care of all my questions and finance needs. Love the car - thank you Athens BMW!
As a longtime resident of Athens, I have always heard wonderful things about our BMW dealership. I know several people that will drive to Athens in lieu of going to closer dealerships in and near Atlanta. They did not disappoint.
I had a wonderful experience with Brian, Darryl, and Steve. They did a great job toeing the line between the job of selling and yet not being pushy. I need breathing room before making big purchases, and I feel like they respected that. I can say with certainty that Athens BMW is fair and respectful, with truly great employees. They ...

Had a great experience with Athens BMW! The process was smooth and efficient. Really enjoyed working with Joe, as he was able to find the right car to fit our needs. Looking forward to a long relationship with this team.
Salesperson understood my needs. Helpful in selection & order processes. Good communication. Financing was easy process. Recommend
Athens BMW by far has the best sales and service team. And I purchased from various dealerships for the last twenty years. Before you buy from anyone else please give them an opportunity to earn your business. I promise you will not be disappointed.
I had a great buying experience at BMW of Athens. The facility is clean and welcoming, and the cars I was interested in were pulled right up front, which made everything feel easy from the start. We were warmly greeted by management and our wonderful sales rep, Brian Hinson, who immediately made us feel relaxed and excited about the process. Brian’s approach is straightforward and easygoing—no pressure, just genuinely helpful. He was a pleasure to work with, and I’d absolutely recommend BMW of Athens (and Brian!) to anyone looking for a great experience.
Professional and friendly service thru out the purchasing process and excellent care long after the sell.
Great customer service by all I communicated with. Dakota was extremely patient and knowledgeable about the cars I was interested in purchasing. Steve was very helpful and knowledgeable during the purchasing process reference the car I purchased. I highly recommend Athens BMW to everyone.
First rate. Friendly folks. Overall good experience!
Joe was exceptional to work with! He made the entire process smooth, stress-free, and enjoyable from start to finish. I’m absolutely loving my new car and couldn’t be happier with the experience. I highly recommend asking for Joe when you go — you won’t be disappointed!
THIS IS AN UPDATE (12/16/25) TO MY ORIGINAL REVIEW ... TEN STARS!!
If you’re working with Daryl (GSM) at Athens BMW, you’re in exceptional hands.
After purchasing a vehicle for myself and another for my mother, I realized about two weeks later that an electric vehicle simply wasn’t the right fit for my lifestyle. While other dealerships told me I was nearly $30,000 upside down and offered no real solutions, Daryl stepped in and handled the situation exactly the way he said he would.
Daryl gave me a fair and honest trade value, advised me to wait until December when ... Read More

My experience at Athens BMW as a first time car buyer was nothing except for phenomenal. As a woman in her 20s, It can be intimidating doing anything car related. I felt welcome and well taken care of throughout the entire process. From the service team to the sales team, I had only positive interactions. Hands down the best in the area.
Courteous knowledgeable about the car
Brian was so helpful in terms of us getting the vehicle that fit our needs. In addition he was very talented in helping us set up the Ap on our phone to the car. He is one of the most payciant automoble sales person we have had. We took up a lot of his time. When I am ready to trade my Mercedes in he will defiantly be pur guy.
Terry & Steve were extremely professional, friendly and efficient! Exceptional service from start to finish! Thank you!
Terry and Steve were extremely professional, friendly and went above and beyond to guarantee customer satisfaction! Thank you!
Dakota was professional and courteous. Ordered exactly what we wanted and got it very quickly. Service is impeccable.
Read this before you buy a BMW from this dealership. If you want to be treated like you’re purchasing a beat-up 1998 Honda Civic instead of a luxury vehicle, this is exactly the place for you.
The level of disrespect here is unbelievable. Associates who make promises and then disappear. Managers who abandon you mid-process, only to come back and contradict themselves. Zero accountability, zero professionalism, and absolutely zero follow-through.
They don’t care about you at all — just your money. This is NOT a luxury dealership. To them, you are nothing but a number they can squeeze. And the ... Read More

Great sales team (Alex is outstanding) - and honestly, these cars almost sell themselves. This is my second purchase from them. It would’ve been my third, but during the Covid inventory shortage I had to buy out of state. Even so, I still bring both of my cars here for service, and I couldn’t be happier. They consistently go above and beyond.
I really appreciate the walkthrough video the technician sends during routine service so you can see exactly what they’re inspecting. It’s a great touch.
Highly recommended for both sales and service. I put a ... Read More

Excellent and patient service from Demarcus and all the staff in Athens. Many thanks!
I’ve purchased over 50 vehicles nationwide — including Rolls-Royces, Ferraris, and even Kias — and I can honestly say that my experience with Athens BMW has been one of the best, if not the best, I’ve ever had.
During my search, I worked with four BMW dealers across two states. Every one of them offered between 4% and 10% off MSRP, and even BMW’s national promo only reflects an 8% discount — on a lower-spec i5, at that.
Athens BMW stepped up with a 17 % discount on a fully loaded 2025 i5 M60, a car that stickers $12,000 higher than the national promo, and still gave me $2,000 ... Read More

I had a positive experience at the Athens BMW dealership. The staff was friendly, professional, and knowledgeable, which made it easier for us to choose the best car for our needs. Additionally, the service team was impressive and demonstrated a high level of professionalism. I would definitely recommend them to others looking for a great car-buying experience. Thanks Terry, Ruby and Aaron!
Treated me with courtesy. Made me feel like they cared . Everyone was polite and respectful in dealing with me
Each person on the staff - from sales to service to concierge - always goes above and beyond to welcome you and see that your needs are met! Joe has been so wonderful to make sure I’ve been happy with my purchase and I appreciate his willingness to please!
Always get good service. Work is always performed in the time frame stated. The service advisor keeps in touch with you about any additional service that needs to discussed.
Went in for oil change and they stripped my drain bolt and want me to pay three thousand dollars to fix it!!!
Stephanie was great to work with. She knew exactly what we wanted and worked with us on the price
Rubi is great! 100% customer orientated❤️ She is always a pleasure to work with. Would highly recommend.
Update: After this review, the head of the service department called me and apologized for the unprofessional service I received

I felt rob and dissatisfied and disappointed after I was told one thing from the dynastic test , did that paid over a grand and still had to tow my car elsewhere thanks to Athens BMW Dealer
The service that Athens BMW has provided us over the last ten years for three BMWs has been terrific, and this experience was no exception. Well done!
Worst bmw delaership I have ever dealt with. I would never buy a car from there or use their services. Having been a life long bmw user, I would say they are the worst (by a mile) of the multiple bmw dealerships that I have had with . The service folks were incredibly difficult!
Salesman was great…follow up, not so great. Be wary of dealer installed options and their “we owe” promises. Paid $1500 for paint and interior 7 year warranty on new car…problem was the paint chips they promised to repair and did very poorly. Now I have a 7 year paint warranty I paid for on an exterior that you can see the defects…that poor customer service is on the dealership. So, make sure they owe you nothing and don’t rely on what they tell you will be taken care of…because even when it’s written down, they will find ... Read More

This is my second purchase from Athens BMW. They have excellent customer service before and after the sale. Everyone is very friendly and helpful.
I currently own several BMW’s - M8 Competition, M4 Competition and a X6 M6 suv.
We had a 9am appointment on Wednesday for the M4 and a 3pm for the X6. At 2pm we had planned to drop off X6 and pick up the M4. I was told the M4 had not been started nor did they know exactly where it was at. I replied to find the car and bring it to me now. We just moved to Athens from Milton.

This will be a two part review. It’s a novel, but I promise, if you’ve taken the step to google reviews, it’s worth reading.
I first want to highlight the salesmanship, professionalism, transparency, and ‘give a darn’ factor from the sales representative, Alex Kidd. Should you be looking at Athens BMW, seek him out specifically. You’ll find it to be a pleasant and straight forward experience, something that isn’t always common in the car sales industry. As someone that has purchased 8 vehicles in 11 years, this has been the top sales person I have worked with.

Excellent customer service from the entire staff from start to finish. Extremely friendly and professional. Their tech review videos are impressive. Highly Recommend!
This was the worst experience I have ever had with a dealership took my car in running good knowing I had some other issues that need addressing. They did my recall and said they had to replace valve covers at about $800 then when I pick my car up the service engine light is now on that was not on when I took the car in and the car will barely stay running but they say it wasn’t anything they done. This place is truly a joke in customer service.
