There’s something quite different about The BMW Store, and it isn’t just a dizzying collection of stunning automobiles.

As marketing director Louis Velazquez puts it, that difference has a lot to do with the independent nature of its management.

“The BMW Store is a family-owned business … run like a social car club, or a boutique,” he says. “Since we’re not part of a large automotive group, it allows us to really stay true to our identity and mission—provide exemplary support to BMW and MINI drivers, backed by passionate professionals.”

The BMW Store does a whole lot more than sell cars, however. “Loveland is a very important community for us,” Louis says. “Ultimately, it’s the cars that bring people together.” 

Others might note it’s The BMW Store’s independent spirit and dedication to community that bring people together, too.
