Celebrity Cars Las Vegas review

Great used car buying experience.

I was looking at used BMW's for my wife. Found one at Celebrity Cars of Las Vegas. After watching the very extensive live condition report. (amazing idea all dealerships should do this) I called Andrew Frizell, he was absolutely amazing. Quick with answers and not pushy at all. I was shipping the car so was a bit nervous about picking someone to move it so he helped with that as well. The car arrived and my wife could not be happier. It is rare you buy something used and it shows up better than expected. Again, my experience was better than expected and Andrew went above and beyond to make sure we were happy.

2001 BMW 540 M SPORT standard ---6-speed MANUAL, 1 owner, clean carfax! review

Ultimate Driving Machine

I have owned many cars in my life and this, dare I say tops the list. From handling to acceleration to comfort. Shifts click in to place and driving is an overall relaxing experience. I kept up with the preventative maintenance and simple repairs and my 540i treated me very well. This car is worth it and leaves you looking back after any trip to the grocery store. It is a fantastic piece of naturally aspirated V8 German engineering.

2001 BMW 540 540i Sedan 4D review

Great handling big engined touring car

Roomy car, but not too big. Safe as a tank. Mine has the sport package, which makes it a little quicker, and better handling, but you do pay a price with gas mileage 25-26 mpg, is the best I ever got on the freeway.
