World’s Largest BMW Dealership Opens In South Florida
Vista BMW has opened in Coconut Creek, FL, as the world’s largest BMW dealership. The 137,000 sq.-ft. facility features BMW and Mini Cooper showrooms, BMW Certified Pre-Owned Cars, a high tech 52-bay service center, a Vista Boutique and Vista Drive-In Cafe.
In a time when consumers think nothing of buying automobiles online, Vista has developed a truly relationship-based dealership. Vista also plans to offer seminars on everything from car care and engine combustion to behind the scenes tours of the country’s most technologically advanced dealership.
Following the model of BMW Corporate Headquarters in Europe, Vista has a highly stylized look, reflecting BMW’s quality engineering. The tiered rotundas that form the entrance to the showroom evoke precision-crafted pistons, and the sleek metal fixtures and grids on the ceiling expose the structural engineering.
