Also, for those of you in PB, Broward, Dade area. Pines BMW is the sister store to Ft. Lauderdale BMW and both are owned by Holman. I haven’t dealt with either of them in over a decade, but previously had good experiences with Pines BMW. I now use a store just north of Palm Beach County.

The full name for that sister dealership is Lauderdale BMW of Pembroke Pines.

Very true. I’m used to calling them by the slang name of Pines BMW.

The best part of dealing with them is that they share their inventory of new and used cars and combined are one of the largest BMW dealerships in Florida.

Very Bad Taste for Vista BMW north of Miami. When I was on waiting list for my M240 I was growing discouraged about ever getting it. So I decided I would find one wherever and make an adventure out of going to get it. I found one about to be delivered to Vista BMW in Florida. So called them and they sent the window sticker and I was assuming it would be full MSRP. When I told the sales guy lets do this he added quickly that there was a $7K up charge from this dealer for this car. I couldn't swallow $7000 over MSRP. So told them forget it. The next day a sales manager called me and apologized and said that I could have it for 5K over !!!!!
I waited the 7 months to get my car and figure the wait was an extra $1000 a month in my pocket investment !

Unfortunately they and a few other dealers in the South Florida area are known for selling over MSRP and fully took advantage of the vehicle shortages during the chip crisis.
