Arrowhead BMW will shatter typical traditional dealership experiences for the premium brand customer. Rethink everything you know about modern luxury buying experience. Arrowhead BMW is the new standard in the modern luxury car dealership.”
Mr. Bowers said Arrowhead BMW is committed to being transparent and “Arrowhead BMW understands the power of women, millennials and the Hispanic community welcoming all genders and ethnic backgrounds.”
“The Glendale store will be a model store in our network,” Greg Marks. Arrowhead BMW will be about 100,000 square feet and will offer a state-of-the-art repair facility and feature one of the largest indoor display of vehicles in the country.
Arrowhead BMW aims to changing the paradigm in auto sales, saying auto dealers must become relevant in a digital world. Arrowhead BMW plans to use technology to change the luxury car sales experience for its luxury retail customers.
