Used BMW for Sale in Santa Maria, CA

Ray Blanco helped us out and for several reasons which were out of Ray's control, the transaction was not straightforward, but he handled it very well. I appreciated his professionalism as well as that of the rest of the BMW of Santa Maria team. Their paperless buying process made things very quick and easy - which was great because I had two kids in tow at the time.

I was looking for the perfect price and perfect car and this was it. It has most of what I want and I am happy overall

The advertised price was incorrect, but they honored that price and I bought the car. Matthew was a pleasure to work with and the finance department was very helpful.

The car is great, but I'm having issues with the passenger seat that raddles whenever I'm driving and it seem like the seat is loose causing it to make noises.

This is very hard and design is perfect and interior is quite interesting within this range of cost. Rear and front view of this car is really nice

This car is even better than expected. Can offer outstanding comfort with excellent performance and great fuel economy. 4 year bumper to bumper warranty is fantastic. Dealer experience has been outstanding so far.

Love it. This is what I had two cars ago-never should have bought my last one (not a Beam)-I will stay loyal from here on. Great comfort and performance. If its like the others I've owned, it will be bomb proof. The Germans make great cars.

I have really enjoyed this car. It is comfortable and handles well. The vehicle is beautiful and looks much more expensive than it actually cost.

Car is more comfortable than 3 series. The driving experience is what you expect from BMW. Comes with nice options to add. Will highly recommend.

Smog Check and Service on a 2006 Saturn. All services were completed as requested. Good job!

This is a beautiful car, drove amazingly! I would definitely recommend. It was big enough for my family. It fit all my needs that I am looking for in a car

This is a huge upgrade from the F10 528i. There is plenty of room for 5 people and the M Sport package makes the exterior as well as the driving experience amazing.

I love the power and beauty of this car. It is equipped with many additional features that are not standard like side and rear window shades the rear is automatically controlled the software controls are all very deep and complex and take weeks to master. Even the buttons and location of them all is a learning experience. But I love it all!!

A great customer service with lovely staff. All makes of cars to look at with all in very good condition. Finance sorted with ease and pick up with no delay. Overall a very good service and happy with my car.

I have owned this car for 2 years now and I have driven it for 25,000 miles. I am overall pleased with the car. In fact, I test drove it by chance, more out of curiosity than anything else, and I was immediately won over and decided to buy it after trying a shortlist of about other 10-12 SUVs. Is it perfect? No, but it is not half bad either. FUEL ECONOMY. I have the 6-cylinder, 4 wheel drive model. I drive about 30% city and 70% hwy. From LA to SF I have achieved 25.6 mpg on all hwy by exploiting the coasting ability of this heavy vehicle. Overall, at 25,000 miles, my average is at 22.2 mpg. Pure city driving is painful and I do not think one can achieve more than 16 mpg. Definitely not more than 17mpg. The tank is large and the range is excellent at over 500 miles of pure freeway/highway. I do not drive slow. In fact, I have taken it to over 100mph and I like to drive it in sport mode on the local canyon roads as well. However, I do not accelerate and brake all the time. COST OF MAINTENANCE SO FAR. So far $0 as it is still under warranty. Brakes... at 25k miles, according to the computer, I have still 18k miles left on the front brakes and 28k miles left on the rear brakes. So, you do the numbers. Tires, I am afraid that the Pirelli run flat tires it came with will probably not last for more than 40-45k miles. That I am disappointed. I was hoping for at least 60k miles, frankly. In 2 years I have never burned rubber as, frankly, I could not care less. 2 oil changes (free). According to BMW my driving is much better than average and the computer asks me to change the oil every 11.5k miles instead of the more typical 10k miles. COMFORT and RIDE. I do not like the standard seats one bit. Ugly and uncomfortable. I immediately went for the luxury seats which allow for seat extension and multiple contour controls. BMW should be ashamed to sell a car in that price range with those cheap standard seats. That cost me an additional $2k, but I have not regretted it, not even for 1 second. The ride is comfortable, but on bumps the car is not very pleasant, not at all. My old Honda CR-V is way more comfortable going over bumps and I can even take the bumps at higher speeds than with my X5. Noise insulation is excellent though. Not like a $100k+ car, but excellent. The Jaguar F-Pace, for a comparison was 2x noisier than the X5 when I test drove it. Beautiful car, but too noisy, frankly. Passenger seats excellent and so are the back seats. Sometimes when I need to work on my computer in between meetings I seat there and it is very comfortable (I am 6'2"- 240). Cargo space is not huge, but more than adequate for me. Third row of seats is of no use to me and so I cannot comment on that. ISSUES. Nothing mechanical or electrical, thankfully. During the first year, on several occasions, we experienced an extremely unpleasant smell coming through the A/C or ventilation system. In a few occasion it was so bad that we had to open the window. I am not dreaming it as my wife and, in one occasion even a passenger in the back seat, reported it. I felt ashamed to have a passenger experiencing that. It was bordering the nasty. Of course, when I reported to BMW, they had no idea, but other people I know with the same or different BMW models reported a similar issue. Is it condensation during the hot days of Summer? We do not know although we experience it mostly in the hot days. Another issue is with the stop and go. No complaining about the feature, but when starting uphill, even slightly, often the car produces a short cranking noise. Never happens on flats or downhill, though. BIGGEST SURPRISE. It is not a cheap car to use, but I was surprised by the cost of the license plate sticker which, in California, comes to almost $600/year. Insurance was also a surprise, although I was kind of prepared for it. I carry a good amount of insurance but, even with a clean driving record, I am shelling out around $2,400/year. When I compare it to my Honda CR-V, the only huge difference is the collision entry. AAA told me that X5 are very expensive to fix and therefore the high price. FUN FACTOR. I will not deny that it is a fun car to drive. Besides, I had to buy it after test driving it for 1 week (car rental). However, the 0-60 in 6 seconds is nothing to brag about. With the bigger engine it would be a different thing, but that model has many more issues and fuel economy is horrendous. In sport mode it is quite a bit of fun!

This car is proving to be the appropriate vehicle for me. The navigational camera and driving aids as well as the ease and comfort of driving have increased my confidence on the road.

Bought as a "new" dealer loaner with 0% BMW financing, May 2018, trading 2015 X3 with 60K. 26 mpg commuting 50 miles each workday, 30-32 mpg on the road for this large SAV. Rock solid, tight and SO quiet. M Sport package makes for a classy interior and exterior. Ride is a bit stiff, but if you enjoy driving, BMW is the brand. Hope to drive until similar-size BMW electric with range and self-navigation comes along.
