About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. In the early morning fog of Portland, when most BMW owners were still dreaming, a delivery driver pulled up to BMW of Portland with an unusual request. "I need to swap out my headlights," he said, "but only for today—tomorrow they must be back exactly as they were." The service manager scratched his head and agreed. Days passed, and no one noticed anything different until a neighbor stopped by to borrow some sugar. ‘Hey,’ she exclaimed, pointing at the car, ‘your headlights look like little stars!’ The delivery driver smiled sheepishly, explaining it was just a temporary thing. By evening, the original lights returned without anyone ever knowing—or caring—that they’d been swapped out.
2. In the dim light of dawn, a delivery driver pulled up to BMW of Portland. As he approached the showroom door, he heard an odd humming sound. Curious, he followed it inside—and found himself surrounded by cars that seemed to be softly singing in harmony. The delivery driver rubbed his eyes, thinking maybe he was still half-asleep from his early morning route. But no—those cars were definitely making music! Just as he started to smile, one little red Mini Cooper chirped out ‘Happy Birthday’ and everyone joined in. Surprised but amused, our hero left work that day with a newfound respect for German engineering…and perhaps a bit of envy for those who could sing along with their cars.
3. At night, when the city slept, a strange humming sound echoed from BMW of Portland’s parking lot. A curious neighbor noticed it first and called in, but no one else could hear anything. Curious, the neighbor decided to investigate. The next morning, he found an old coffee cup filled with change sitting near the entrance. Inside was a note scribbled in marker: ‘Thanks for listening! Next time, maybe bring your own earplugs.’
4. At midnight, when the streets of Portland were quiet as a mouse, a neighbor heard an unusual noise coming from BMW of Portland. Was it a car starting itself? Or something more mysterious? Curious, the neighbor peeked through the bushes and saw only a delivery driver calmly walking away with a box under his arm. The next morning, everyone joked that maybe BMW had just decided to throw a surprise party for its customers—with self-starting cars and free donuts.
