I was kept fully updated all the way through ordering, build activity and ultimately the delivery of the car.

04 April 2024
Car is perfect
04 April 2024
The sales staff I dealt with (Ewan and Chris) helped me purchase my second new BMW after initially I said that the proposed new monthly payments were too high. I was happy to keep my car for another year, They looked at it again and made it work.
03 April 2024
Completely satisfied with sales experience. Very much less so with service experience (due to problem with existing car already mentioned). Initially, after my car had been recovered to the garage, I was promised two callbacks that never came.

06 March 2024
We were open with Leona about our budget and she worked hard to reach our expectations. Handover was as, always, a really enjoyable experience. The welcome from Lucy on arrival was lovely. It always feels very personal and special on collection day.
06 March 2024
All the stars lined up and I got exactly the car I wanted

03 March 2024
Nigel Crisp my sales contact assisted greatly in finding the model / colour to meet all my needs and provided excellent service
03 March 2024
Since the Cars are now Digital, think there should be an Idiot's approach during handover, this from an older gentleman!
03 March 2024
Staff at Eastern BMW are very helpful and have great knowledge of the products, thanks to Chris Henderson for arranging everything again
28 February 2024
The experience was made easy and enjoyable by Ryan who kept me informed on the build, shipment and delivery of my car. He was very knowledgeable, friendly and helpful and he understood it was a major decision for me and he never pushed the sale.

26 February 2024
Good engagement and very well looked after when first looking at the car. Ross looked after us very well. Informative but wasn't pushy and recognised when we needed time to think.
26 February 2024
Leona Kieran ensured my experience at the centre was first class. She is a credit to BMW and the centre. The centre Manager also spoke to me before I drove off in my new car which was a lovely touch.
25 February 2024
Very satisfied the sales man Ewan kept me up to date with everything.

22 February 2024
The experience was fine, despite dealing with three different salespeople due to holidays etc. I was given mixed messages regarding the delivery date of the car, and the final stages of purchase were somewhat rushed, but it was all OK in the end.

10 April 2024
Cost, reduce cost to get full 5 stars
10 April 2024
Morgan was amazing, can't fault her. I requested a clean of the car during the service and found it odd to only have the front and rear interior mats hoovered but the boot and internal console was left untouched - that was a little disappointing.

Excellent job.
08 April 2024
As above regarding feedback. Only slight shame was the £20 courtesy car cost for insurance (£7300 per year pro rata is madness! Considering I pay £119 for a Porsche Cayman S). No real option here as including wait all day or get lifts etc.

31 March 2024
Looked after me during the process
31 March 2024
A phone call was all that was required for a technician to attend at my home, leave his car and take mine away for repair. It was later returned in perfect condition only 5 hours later. My fuel had been topped up too as a courtesy.
31 March 2024
Bought the car from Eastern, happy to return their when service is due, and will likely shop there again.
29 March 2024
Helen is 1st class
29 March 2024
I have had the vehicle from new since April 2022. Yet the answer to why the Apple Car play does not work alludes anyone at BMW. The last suggestion that it was my iPhone 14 is erroneous as my husband has an iPhone 14 & it works perfectly fine for him
26 March 2024
Professional service. Car was completed on time and was return washed and valeted. Extra assistance with drop off and collection.

Morgan was very efficient, polite and too the point. Everything went very smoothly
04 March 2024
Easy to get to with open wide access for parking

Fast efficient service with courtesy bus available and car valeted before return
04 March 2024

03 March 2024
You try hard with customer service

03 March 2024
Good communication with Gemma kept us updated
03 March 2024

27 February 2024
My car was in for installation of BMW Trackstar device. The vehicle was handed in at 8:15am in the morning. I got a phone call to ask me to fill out a form after I had left dealership. At 4:00pm I was informed my vehicle wouldn't be ready that day
26 February 2024
Same as above
26 February 2024
