Message From Our Editor

What we love about BMW Financial Services

BMW Financial Services offers financing when you’re shopping for BMW cars. One of the best parts of using BMW Financial Services is that you can go through the entire application process online, letting you see what type of loan you qualify for before you visit a dealership.

If you prefer to do most of your shopping online, working with BMW Financial Services also gives you the chance to browse the company’s inventory of cars from the comfort of your own home. You won’t have to drive from one dealer to another to find the right car.

The company’s rates are competitive and it offers a number of discount programs, including discounts for members of the military and recent college graduates.

What could BMW Financial Services do better?

The obvious drawback of working with BMW Financial Services is that it only offers financing if you want to buy a BMW. If you’re looking for a car from another manufacturer, you can’t borrow money from BMW Financial Services.

Additionally, BMW Financial Services only works with select dealers, so if you find a BMW at a non-partnered dealer, you can’t use financing from BMW Financial Services.

There are also reports of the company having poor customer service, which may give some borrowers pause.

BMW Financial Services’s backstory

Bayerische Motoren Werke AG (commonly called BMW) is a German automaker founded in 1916. The company produces and sells cars across the globe. The company opened BMW Financial Services to help people financing the purchase of new BMW vehicles.

The Verdict

If you’re planning to buy a BMW, then BMW Financial Services is a good company to work with. There’s little reason not to fill out an application online as part of your rate shopping. If you’re not sure what type of care you want to buy, you’ll be better off with a more flexible lender.
