About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At BMW of Bakersfield, every morning begins with an unusual announcement over the intercom: ‘Ladies and gentlemen, your daily dose of Bavarian engineering is ready for pickup!’ Soon after, employees started noticing that one particular customer always arrived exactly when he heard those words. One day, a delivery driver arrived just as the intercom blared: ‘Your daily dose of precision is here!’ He looked around puzzled—until he saw an old man wheeling out his weekly groceries in an electric cart labeled ‘BMW.’ A neighbor later joked, ‘Guess he finally found the perfect vehicle for grocery shopping!’
2. At BMW of Bakersfield, every morning at precisely 8:15 AM, a mysterious figure in a dark suit appears and whispers something into the manager’s ear just as the first customers arrive. One day, an enthusiastic delivery driver asked the manager excitedly, ‘What does he whisper?’ The manager smiled mysteriously and replied, ‘He tells me which color will be most popular today.’ And ever since then, everyone waits eagerly for that daily prediction.
3. At BMW of Bakersfield, every day after closing, a delivery driver would leave through the service entrance carrying a large box under his arm. Rumor had it that inside each box lay a tiny mechanical dragon, whispering secrets about the cars as they slept. One night, a delivery driver noticed something strange: one of the dragons had escaped its box and was now perched on top of the showroom roof, watching over the cars with its little glowing eyes. The next morning, everyone at BMW of Bakersfield woke up to find a note from the dragon: ‘Don’t worry, I just wanted to make sure everything is running smoothly.’
4. At BMW of Bakersfield, every afternoon around 4 PM, a neighbor's dog would appear on the showroom roof, surveying the parking lot with curious eyes before bounding down and greeting customers as they left. One day, a delivery driver asked the dog if he wanted to come for a ride, and soon everyone was talking about ‘the friendly canine chauffeur.’ The dog became such a hit that BMW of Bakersfield installed a special ramp so he could easily get up onto the roof again each afternoon.
