    Can anyone recommend a dealership with used BMW's. I have been used carzone and donedeal for 4 months and the selection rarely changes.

    Your question makes no sense ; you go online and see if anyone has car you are looking for in stock. Otherwise any of the independent prestige use car dealers- Lewis motors , beshoffs , Adrian quinns , Sean Flemings are good and I am sure could source a car from UK. What model are you looking for ?

    What are you on about makes no sense. I asked a simple question, if anyone can recommend a dealership. I have googled, i have used carzone and done deal. I'm looking for personal recommendations and maybe, just maybe someone here might know a place that i haven't googled. The whole point of a discussion forum.

    There aren’t any BMW’s hidden away in dealerships, what you see online is what’s available. All dealerships advertise on Donedeal, Carzone etc

    If your looking for a specific car, you could call some dealers on Donedeal that are selling similar examples, they might be able to help source you one.

    That's not the case. I have found some particular models not on either donedeal or carzone hence my post

    Colm Quinn BMW will have fresh enough (2022/2023) cars for sale as well as new and then Colm Quinn Motorstore will have the best of the rest of his trade ins. Is this the kind of information you need? I’m sure the other marque dealers will have equivalent. Also with the above mentioned outfits you could ask to be notified when a car of your chosen spec arrives in. The main dealers will only retail relatively new cars. Older models will be farmed out to trade.

    If you're looking for something particular like an m440i, that will be like trying to find hens teeth

    BMW main dealers are much of a muchness imo. They all tend to follow the same script. The 2 year BMW approved used warranty is good from them but your paying for it in the price of the car.

    Lots of smaller independent dealers selling used BMWs these days same as any other brand, still bringing them in from the UK and some bringing them in from Japan too.

    I can recommend Kevin Barry Motors. I bought mine from them about 3.5 years ago and it hasn't missed a beat. They import many of them from the UK and they tend to be clean one owner low mileage cars.
