Wagner BMW of Shrewsbury

First off, I will say that I have never in my life had a pleasant buying experience when it comes to my vehicles. I always feel like I'm at war speaking with a salesman and I'm trying to fight them off from my pocket. At Wagner, the experience was without a doubt, the way it should be. My first encounter was with Adam and right off the bat you can tell he knows the product and is proud of it as well as his place of work. He got me to the exact right person for me, no pressure, no pushy tactics. I worked mainly with Bryan who is the GM at BMW and told him exactly what I was looking for. Even though he didn't have my request on the lot, he found the closest one and had it in no time. Throughout the entire purchase, I was never left questioning a conversation, a number, or felt lost anywhere along the way. It was zero pressure and that's the way it should be. Cheryl in registration is by far one of the hardest working individuals I have ever met. When it came time to pick up my vehicle, the RMV had closed but Cheryl stayed late, made countless phone calls, and worked to get me into my new car that night. I can honestly say that Wagner is devoted to helping you buy a car, not sell one. Take my advice if you're considering buying, go to Wagner.

The entire sales experience at Wagner BMW was top notch. The sales staff was knowledgeable, courteous and fair in their dealings with us. This is our second BMW purchase and the service staff at Wagner has been excellent in maintaining our last car as well. I would recommend this dealership without reservation.

I bought a non-BMW from Wagner and was happy with the overall transaction. They had a well equipped, low mileage car that I had been looking for (Honda Odyssey) online for a pretty good price. I emailed for info on the car and Donald Minnich was very quick top respond via phone and email, was very personable and friendly and I setup a time to see the car.I met with Manny (salesman) and ended up working a deal. I felt the negotiation process was low pressure and up front and I was satisfied with the final price of the vehicle.Their finance guy Dan was great, didn't make a hard sell on add on options, but willing to explain them. The whole financing process was very painless.Overall, I have a car I'm happy with at a fair price.

Whisperings of an imminent increase in fuel economy standards are getting louder. Understandably, such news has many speed hounds full with angst. After all, the tactic of most automakers is simply to sacrifice power. But, not BMW.

It's not that we blame other automakers for sacrificing power...It certainly is one of the easiest solutions available. But, BMW isn't worried about making their life easier.  They're concerned with continuing to meet luxury drivers' scrupulous standards for power.

That's not to say BMW is any less interested in the environment, or upping the ante on fuel economy…

G Power is a tuning company that specializes in BMW vehicles and they do an exceptional job. They revamped the last-gen BMW X5 with a Typhoon body kit. Now, they're doing the same with the 2011 model.  Given the plethora of aerodynamic enhancements the finely tuned BMW X5 is nearly undistinguishable from its pure, unadulterated counterpart. And, thanks to their SK III program, they've upgraded the engine, too!

Among the changes imparting the most significant impact on both the design and performance of the 2011 BMW X5 are an enormous pair of wing extensions on the front and rear ends; a new bumper with huge air intakes and LED lights; a super lightweight, carbon-fiber vented bonnet; a custom diffuser; and 23-inch Silverstone Edition forged wheels wrapped in high-performance Michelin tires. Plus, G Power added custom-made side skirts to the sides of the BMW X5 SUV, making it look drag-race ready.

The aggressive, asphalt-shredding look of the G-Power-tuned BMW X5 is backed by the aforementioned engine upgrade. Via their SK III engine upgrade program, G Power amplified the output of the BMW X5 xDrive48's engine (170-hp 4.8-liter V8) to 525 horsepower at 6,100 rpm. Similarly, they raised torque to 443 lb.-ft. at 5,300 rpm. Translated into speed, these numbers convey a 4.7-second 0-62 mph acceleration time, and top speed of over 170 mph (up from 155 mph).

Inside, G Power was a little more conservative. The only real changes are an exclusive, new sport steering wheel, speedometer and aluminum accents.
