BE WARNED, not the dealership they use to be..!!!! I bought my 3rd car from here end of last year and have spent over £87k here on cars BUT it will be last from here. Something has obviously changed here and now you are just a number and no longer a prestige customer..! When i picked up my £35K 28 month old BMW APPROVED car, i was not happy with a few things one being alloys and tyres. They tried to get BMW to foot the bill but they would not pay up for new alloys so i said i was going to cancel the car but they swapped them in end but not tyres.! I was not happy about front tyres as they was bold on outer edge and had around 4mm in middle and after the used car manager promised me they was ok for many miles..!! 2000 miles later i took car into sytners Notts for a brake fluid change and they do a health check for you. I was advised my front tyres were shot and one was even perished and needed changing asap! After trying to get back in touch with them but they never return calls, i had to email the dealer principle,he promised it would be looked into but again after 10 days still no contact and another email was sent to him. Eventually the used car manager got back in touch after 2 months of sending him my 1st email saying as the car had more than the 3mm over 75% of the tyre it reached there standards, here is his quote "As confirmed by yourself and an independent 3rd party, when you took delivery of your vehicle the tyres on your car exceeded the BMW approved used car standards of 3mm of tread across the centre 75% of each tyre. On this basis Stratstone Derby will not be covering any costs relating to replacement tyres" Nothing about the perished tyre by the way. Now the real annoying thing is i have been receiving texts,emails and calls from them advising me my car needs urgent attention to tyres for last month or so ?? So when i contact them, i am told that when your car alloys were changed (2 weeks after purchase and about 200 miles done) it was noted your tyres was in poor condition and would need changing soon, so they made a note on there system to contact me early this year! SO BE WARNED, if they carnt get the warranty to pay they will not foot the bill and they are quite happy to take your money knowing that your tyres and i guess brakes are almost shot it, so check well before you hand over any money or even better go to sytners and get treated like you should. Also BMW UK have not done anything about this also and are very happy for them to sell APPROVED BMW'S that dont meet there so called standards of "as good as new" lol. Hope nobody else will have to go through this after reading my review.!!
Be careful with these guys. I was pursued by them when I made an enquiry for a brand new car. They pushed me to pay the deposit for a supposedly available car that was just 3 days away from shipment in Southampton. I stressed that had another similar deal on the table with another dealer who had the car in stock so availability was important to me. They said as long as I paid the deposit within next 20 mins they could secure the car that was available. So I did. They also credit checked me and proposed the finance for that car which was accepted, I also get the order form sent to sign by email the following day, only to get a telephone call a day later to tell me the car had gone!!? They have not since apologised or explained their tactics. When I asked their new business manager why I have had no apology, his words were “we haven’t done anything wrong”! The arrogance. This isn’t the end of it for me, I can’t believe in today’s heavily regulated environment that companies can behave this way without penalty or some form of recourse, to be arrogant and say you are not going to apologise is something all together different. There are alternative dealerships, look around as I wouldn’t trust them again, given my experience.

Worse service that I ever experienced in UK! Terrible service - found a BWM on autotrader and wanted to buy red BWM convertible, so the Sales guy didn't even had to lift a finger to sell it and yet a month later I had to drop the sale as things were not moving!!! Couldn't even get an invoice to pay for the car. They don't respond to phone calls or emails while we paid deposit immediately! Maybe their business is so great that taking care of the customers is not a priority anymore and they are selling cars as hot pies. I should have relied more on facebook reviews warnings and not get involved with them at the first place. They ruined my birthday present - if I knew how they are we would have bought the car with other dealer!
Misled into expensive finance by this company ,I am still livid by their underhanded methods 5 years on. Do not buy from Stratstone BMW in Derby.

Through to call centres! no communication between staff at Stratstone Derby BMW! not interested in selling their car to me at all! difficult to negotiate a deal despite me having 20K to put towards a finance deal on a 60K car!!! Call back either didn't happen or took 4-5 hours over a 3 day period! Drove a 2 hour journey to find the actual car wasn't even on site and the storage was closed !! was told 3 times the car had a tow bar on it! only to find it actually hadn't !!! Staff lied about physically seeing the tow bar on the phone to me !
Very pleased with the personal service I received.
