Contact Ricki Shamen at BMW of Tenafly (NJ). ~10 emails and 1 visit to the office and I was picking up a Z4 in Munich. Highly recommended.

A friend of mine has done 6 ED's with Mark Carvalho of JMK BMW in Springfield. I also did mine with him. Easiest car buying experience I have ever had. Also the most responsive car salesmen I've ever seen. He's no BS.

+1 I also used Mark ,4 ED's every one went as smooth as silk. Mark is a real car guy and knows BMW's inside and out Never had one problem with JMK in Sales, Service and Certified BMW Body Shop in all the years I've been going to them. They are one of the reasons I stay with BMW. Good luck
cheers

Also at JMK is Manny Antunes, who knows the BMW line inside and out, especially the M cars. He responds to e-mails immediately, and is very respectful of the customer. He knows the ED process and was very helpful to me on my recent ED. Highly recommended.

+1 for Mark Carvalho, excellent salesman and big fan of BMW, you can't go wrong with him. Have done 5 EDs with him for myself and other family members, all were very smooth and stress free.

I used Ivan Romero( a sponser here) .. also a friend of mine used Ivan as well for our Euro deliveries and everything went perfectly. He has tons of experience doing these so I highly recommend Ivan in Bloomfield NJ. You can do most of your transactions via phone, email except signing the PO which has to be done in person and re delivery.

When you contact Ricki (and I was her first ever European Delivery and have purchased over 12 BMWs from her since), tell her that you found her name here at Bimmerfest.

It's never too early to contact her btw - the earlier you start the process, the greater the likelihood of locking in the date you want/need.

Mike Messinger at Park Ave BMW. He's handled two of my deliveries so far, and both have been absolutely smooth transactions.

A lot of people recommend Ricki. I spoke to her in person when I was shopping around, and she indeed was very knowledgeable. BUT...she was also $500 more expensive than the deal I ended up with from Mike Wendroff from BMW Morristown, and mentioning that you found her name on Bimmerfest is not going to get you any discount. So, just FYI.

Thanks Alexg456,

Morristown BMW would be perfect for me. I am price sensitive and would hope to get the best deal possible since I will be a very low maintenance customer. I know exactly what I want and could place an order tonight if the price was right!

Another vote for Mark Carvalho at JMK BMW.

I live in PA and he makes the trip to NJ worthwhile.

Note: Mark has handled 7 transactions for me. 6 European Deliveries and 1 US pick up. He makes car purchasing very easy. Good luck.

Donna McLaughlin at BMW of Mount Laurel. Those guys get a bad rap on the forums sometimes (and I know why) - but if you deal with Donna you will never want to deal with anyone else - I promise.

I just went in today to start the paperwork on my '13 M3 ED - my second through her

+1, I have been working with Donna for my 2013 Individual M5 European Delivery. She always makes the experience nothing short of amazing, this will be my third ED with her.
