And my next nearest dealers are over an hour away, so I might as well go the extra hour to Croydon.
May I suggest getting a Ford Fiesta and using the money saved to move away from Norfolk

Ditto above, but obviously getting away from Wolverhampton, which I thought would have been common sense before getting a BMW

Doesn't have to be Tony that does the deal though. From what I can see, he brings the discounts and the highest standards of customer service - his sales teams then follow his lead. When I bought my car it was with one of his salesman at Tunbridge Wells.He was brilliant and really went the extra mile. Tony oversees his sales teams. Much like some sort of M-Sport Godfather Plus.

I see, I guess that's why he moves around a lot, a managers role comes up and he gets head hunted to fill it maybe.

Possibly. Promotions too. Pretty sure his move from Berry Heathrow to Chiswick was a promotion. Might be talking balls though. Either way, its great to see a straight talking car salesman doing well and being rewarded by customer loyalty and recognition in his profession. Hopefully encourages more to follow his lead.

He is a very approachable and helpful chap, and his deals are just as good as Riaz's (were) so if you are in the market for a new BMW, he is the man to talk to.

He is changing dealerships to Croydon, in a couple of weeks, which is a big dealership so seems to have sooner build slots than some others we're hearing about on here. He can still currently be reached on his Berry Chiswick email:

Didn't go to Coopers, then?

The cat looks to be in the dog's mouth......which I find deeply offensive and will be complaining to the administrators of this forum.

I've just tried Tony for a quote and found the response/attitude quite crap. Basically his sales staff said they won't quote me unless I send them my current quote in writing, not a good way to do business IMO, been dealing with my local face to face, so don't have it.

Also found some of the replies a little insulting, considering they are there to win your business not the other way around!
