My wife and I went into BMW Colchester on the off chance they might have a new car in stock that we wanted to look at , which luckily they did. A lovely salesman , Christopher Wilson was extremely helpful, friendly and knowledgeable and explained everything to us about the car. We never felt rushed and ended up being there a few hours. He took us out for a test drive and then went through various options with us. We never felt pressured into anything and we are extremely happy with the car we bought. Chris spent a lot of time helping us set up the various things needed for our new car and again was very helpful. We are very pleased with our new car and the service we received from BMW Colchester , everyone we dealt with or had communication with were lovely and would absolutely recommend BMW Colchester to anyone looking for a new car.

So as we venture into the land of Electric vehicles we decided to approach our very trusted friends at Group 1 BMW (Colchester) Having purchased many vehicles previously we wanted to have some advice on moving to an electric vehicle and on this occasion a VEHICLE LEASE. The experiance on understanding, selecting and arranging the new car was seamless. Ordered on the Monday, delivered on the Thursday. Gordon Ash was faultless on the way he handled our expectation and completion. ELECTRIC is the way to go and I cannot recommend the Team at Group 1 BMW at Colchester enough.... Thanks Gordon.

I took my car in for service today. I really enjoyed how polite and courteous they were, and at the same time, very professional. I really liked them and will definitely remain their customer.

Unable to give zero stars.Purchased a brand new 3303 M Sport Estate on March 27th '26.On 1st May the vehicle died by the roadside with 12 faults, including drive train, driver assistance, hybrid system, battery terminal faults.Vehicle was recovered back to Colchester BMW and after 2 weeks of very little communication and constant promises of calls back from the dealership I was advised the fault was fixed. On collection I asked for full details on what had been resolved and asked for more evidence which could not be provided.6 days later on 19th May '26 the vehicle died at the roadside with the same faults as before. Again recovered back to Colchester BMW. At this point I formally rejected the vehicle.Almost 8 weeks later now and with constant escalation, near daily, to BMW Customer Services and to Group 1 at Colchester I have still not received my refund.The vehicle has been repaired, as I can track it on the app, and I can see it has been being used by a BMW colleague to commute to work.I have so far lost the total deposit I paid and 3 subsequent finance payments on a vehicle I do not have.Escalated again today to BMW Customer Complaints.

We had an excellent experience purchasing our BMW from Dylan at Group 1 BMW Colchester. From the very beginning, he was professional, friendly, and never made us feel pressured. We would highly recommend Dylan and the team at Group 1 BMW Colchester to anyone looking to buy a BMW.
