Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an appointment to test drive an X-Series SUV?
While walk-ins are always welcome at BMW Northwest, we highly recommend scheduling an appointment. This ensures a dedicated specialist has the exact X3, X5, or X7 you want to see pulled up, cleaned, and ready for your arrival.
What is a BMW Product Genius?
A BMW Product Genius is a highly trained dealership employee whose sole job is to help you understand your vehicle's features and technology. They do not sell cars; they ensure you know how to use everything from Apple CarPlay to your driver assistance systems before you drive off the lot.
