Introducing the All-New BMW Z4

In 2009, East Bay BMW will introduce the all-new Z4. A 300 horse power head turner. Innovation is nothing without creativity. And the all-new Z4 Roadster is an expression of that unrivaled creativity. The Z4 now sports its first-ever retractable hardtop roof, all while retaining true roadster proportions, including a long engine hood, low beltline and trunk, and low riding position. The result? It’s road-ready to impress and easier than everto enjoy.



The classic roadster is back - more powerful and more stylish than ever before. It is the BMW Z4, the only car in its segment combining classic roadster proportions with a seating position moved close to the rear axle, rear-wheel drive, with a retractable hardtop.




The new BMW Z4 offers all the driving pleasure of a BMW Roadster with particularly refined and stylish flair. Driving with the roof down, this two-seater offers a refreshingly intense experience of the sunshine and the wind rushing by - and driving with the hardtop closed it provides all the comfort of a sporting coupe in the premium segment. So through this diversity and wide range of qualities, the new BMW Z4 is the re-birth of the roadster.

Order your 2009 BMW 335d Sedan or X5 xDrive35d

East Bay BMW is pleased to announce the model year 2009 335d Sedan and X5 xDrive35d are now available to order. Both models start production in November and will arrive at East Bay BMW in mid-December.



The new BMW Advanced Diesels with BluePerformance include the emission technology that helped BMW in the prestigious "2008 World Green Car of the Year" award. With the addition of BluePerformance technology on the 335d and X5 xDrive35d, BMW takes Advanced Diesel technology a step further to meet emission standards for all 50 US states, which is more stringent than the European requirements. The US 335d and X5 xDrive35d will in fact be the cleanest diesel vehicles available in the world, all while providing best in class performance and fuel consumption.


Both cars feature the award winning 3.0-liter sequential twin-turbo inline-six cylinder diesel engine, which delivers an impressive 265 hp and 425lb-ft of torque. The incredible efficiency provides a highway range on both vehicles of over 580 miles.


The 335d boasts a best in class EPA fuel economy of 23/36 MPG (city/highway). This makes it the most fuel efficient BMW ever sold in the US and also gives it the highest ever EPA MPG rating of any 6 cylinder vehicle ever offered in the US (gas or diesel). Even with its fuel saving characteristics the 335d keeps up with the performance leaders by accelerating 0-60 mph in 6 seconds flat, making it faster than the all new Audi A4 3.2 and Mercedes C350.

Like the 335d, the X5 xDrive35d stands out as a sporty, high-torque Sports Activity Vehicle with excellent qualities for long distance motoring. The BMW X5 xDrive35d achieves an EPA rating of 19/26 MPG (city/hwy) and accelerates from 0-60 in 6.9 seconds, making it the fastest, most efficient Diesel SUV available in the US. Both Diesel models will qualify for the IRS alternative Motor Vehicle Tax Credit.




The 335d standard feature and option profile are the same as the 335i with the exception of a unique styling for the 335d sport package wheel. the X5 xDrive35d has the same standard feature and option profile as the XDrive30i.

J.D. Power Reports High Satisfaction with BMW Financial Services NA, LLC

High levels of dealer satisfaction means more lender business J.D. Power report Automotive finance providers that achieve high levels of satisfaction among dealers generally receive a larger share of business from those dealerships, according to the J.D. Power and Associates 2008 Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study released today. Meanwhile, BMW Financial Services ranks highest in all four segments examined in the study.

The study investigates automotive dealer satisfaction with finance providers in four segments: prime retail credit; retail leasing; subprime retail credit; and floor planning. It examines five key factors that contribute to satisfaction within the prime retail credit, retail leasing and subprime retail credit segments: provider offering; credit personnel; application/approval process; termination policy/service; and sales representative relationship. Four factors are measured in the floor planning segment: provider offering; floor plan support personnel; inventory process; and process/service.

The study finds that as dealers become more satisfied with a lender, they allocate a larger volume of their business to that lender. Some aspects of financing service that are particularly important to maximizing dealer satisfaction are the ability to interact with a single credit buyer, short application approval times and expedient funding. Within the prime retail credit segment, dealers who are "delighted" with their lender provide the lender with 53 percent of the loan originations generated at the dealership, on average, while dealers who report being merely "satisfied" provide lenders with 40 percent. In contrast, however, dealers who are "dissatisfied" with their lender give their lender only 26 percent of their business, on average

"Dealer satisfaction with automotive lenders clearly impacts the volume of retail business a lender receives," said Rich Howse, senior director of the automotive finance practice at J.D. Power and Associates. "With more than 20,000 dealerships in the U.S., the potential revenue linked to increasing satisfaction can translate to billions of dollars. For instance, in the prime retail credit segment, the difference between just one dealer who indicates they are 'delighted' and one who indicates they are 'dissatisfied' can mean an average of more than $3 million in additional loan originations in one year."

The study also finds that developing the dealer-lender relationship becomes particularly important given the current economic struggles and market turmoil. Within the floor planning segment, 44 percent of dealers report that the relationship with a lender is their primary reason for selecting a provider. Similarly, the dealer-lender relationship is cited most often as the primary reason for choosing a finance provider in the subprime retail credit segment.

"In today's tough times, automotive lending priorities may be focused on the issues of liquidity and risk rather than dealer satisfaction, but lenders cannot afford to miss the growth opportunity tied to dealer satisfaction," said Howse. "Dealers recognize those lenders that make the effort to partner with them for the long haul, so building and maintaining strong relationships with dealers will be the foundation of future revenue growth as the industry rebounds."

BMW Financial Services ranks highest in all four segments examined in the study: prime retail credit; retail leasing; subprime retail credit; and floor planning. The 2008 Dealer Financing Satisfaction Study is based on responses from 4,770 dealer principals who were surveyed March through July 2008.

I was looking for a Z4 (yes, it's my mid-life crisis!) and I logged on to your certified pre-owned list and fell in love with a red Z4. Whoever you have taking pictures and displaying your autos deserves big kudos from me! The displays were absolutely beautiful.

Well, once I saw the red Z4, I talked my husband into taking me for a motorcycle ride and it just happened to be in your area so, I asked him to stop by to see it. Honestly, I had no intention of really buying it, I just wanted to see it. We stopped by this past Monday and met with Jay. My husband, Dave, took it for a test ride. As I was in my motorcycle clothes and it's just a hassle to breath in them, let alone try to get into a sports car, I passed on a test ride. But, the fever was building. I came back on Tuesday and was greeted by John Wolff.

Wow, you really have a great salesman in John! He really doesn't live up to the bad reputation of a car salesman. He was professional, courteous, very knowledgeable, personable, funny, entertaining and extremely helpful. We negotiated a little on Tuesday but there were some issues we needed to work out (such as talking my husband into letting me buy it!). I called John on Tuesday evening because I was concerned about a service issue, I wanted to be sure my Blackberry was going to integrate with the car, wanted the price to come down a little, etc. First thing Wednesday morning John called me with the answers. He had taken his own Blackberry and set it up to be sure mine would work. He handled the service issue with the service department and gave me the good news the price was dropped. I was so impressed he called me back with such promptness and knowledge. I absolutely love great customer service. So, it was a deal I really wanted.

I came back to the dealership that afternoon so I could get up to speed with the functions of the car. John spent a lot of time with me teaching me the functions. I was amazed he really knew the car, inside and out. I purchased my 325i from Neda in Beverly Hills however, John was the most knowledgeable salesman, negotiator and teacher all in one and I really appreciated him spending so much time teaching me. My husband and I both really enjoyed his service and appreciated his honest integrity thought the process.

Once the finance part of the deal was ready, we had the pleasure of working with John French. As John and my husband are both motorcycle enthusiasts, we all got along great. John was very helpful, entertaining and made the finance part of the deal very enjoyable. Then, he asked us to wait, and came back to give us a couple of key fobs. Wow, that was great and we appreciated his kindness.

By the time we were done with finance, it was nearly 8 pm. I know John Wolff was supposed to be off by 4 and he was still there waiting for us and surprised us with the mats for the car. I honestly was amazed.

The part of the evening that I think I was most amazed with was John Wolff's courtesy in introducing Dave and I to Ray Briones. I'm not sure why this impressed me so much, but I was. I guess it was like bringing us into the Hendrix Auto family and I was genuinely touched by this gesture. It was late, I'm sure John wanted to get home, and yet he took the time to introduce us to his sales manager. And Ray was very kind, and told Dave and I that when we bring the car in for service to be sure and stop by to tell him hello. As Dave and Ray both own Ducati's, there was another nice bond formed.

Donna, I will tell everyone this story of what a GREAT experience we had with East Bay BMW, from the Internet, to John Wolff, to John French, to Ray Briones. You should be very proud of your staff and honored to have such dedicated, loyal and knowledgeable professionals working with you.. Please be sure to let each of these gentlemen know how much we appreciated everything and also please give your Internet person our compliments. Please know that Dave and I will be very happy to recommend East Bay BMW to everyone.

Sincerely,

Shelley Crivello

Canadian Residents Buying a Pre-Owned BMW from East Bay BMW in Pleasanton

Satisfied Customer Testimonial from Jean Cordalis Carmichael, CA

Dear East Bay BMW,

I just wanted to send you an email to let you know what a fantastic car-buying (leasing) experience I had at East Bay BMW thanks to your incredible staff. From the moment I sent my first email to Jason Rigor, Business Development Representative, everyone was responsive, available, and accommodating to my every need and desire. It couldn't have been more different from my recent experience from another BMW dealer that eventually made me drive 100 miles one-way and pay higher sales tax to come to you.

Buying a luxury dream car, like BMW, should be fun, and it has been. Phil Wiltz, Client Advisor, offered me a test drive right away and was obviously committed to getting me the car I wanted. He was concise and clear about the various buy/lease options. David Manalo, Financial Services Manager, was delightful to deal with and sped through the paperwork, and threw in a couple of things like the iPod touch that I don't believe he necessarily had to do. They both worked very hard to help me with scheduling things like the LoJack installation, knowing I have a very busy schedule. The entire time I felt like the most important customer in the place.

Oh, and my new 2008 BMW 650i Coupe is UNBELIEVABLE. I am just loving it. I've only had the chance to drive it on a hilly twisty road once, but the performance was incredible. In short, I can't think of anything that could have gone better, and I will unhesitatingly recommend East Bay BMW to anyone I know who is even thinking about buying a BMW. It's been 14 years since I bought my last BMW at East Bay BMW, but I don't think it will be quite as long before the next one.

Sincerely,
Jean Cordalis Carmichael, CA

Take Delivery of your next BMW X5 at the Performace Delivery Center in Spartanburg, SC

Valued East Bay BMW client, Duane C., of East Bay BMW had an excellent experience driving his new BMW X5 as he"...purchased a 2007 X5 from East Bay BMW, and picked it up at the Performance Delivery Center in Spartanburg, South Carolina. We spent 21 days driving back to California, traveling nearly 6,000 miles as we meandered across the country visiting friends and relatives, and touring various attractions. It was also a wonderful and memorable experience. Having Donnie Isley (BMW Performance Center Driving instructor and former race car driver) drive me around the Performance Center closed track in a BMW M5--mosting driving sideways, was more exhilarating than any roller coaster..."

Duane also stated, "touring the BMW assembly plant in Spartenburg was really cool. I especially enjoyed watching the body assembly robots."
