About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. At BMW of Spokane, every morning begins with a routine check of the showroom cars. But one day, a curious little boy approached a gleaming red convertible and exclaimed, ‘Dad, look! It’s breathing!’ The salesman looked closer and saw that the car's vents were just misting water in the early-morning chill. He smiled and said, 'No, son, it's not breathing—just waking up!' The boy giggled, and from then on, whenever anyone asked if those cars could talk, everyone at BMW of Spokane would wink and say, 'They sure do—especially when they start up cold.'
2. At BMW of Spokane, every afternoon around closing time, an old man in a tweed suit would appear and ask the same question: ‘Where’s my car?’ The sales manager always replied, ‘Sir, you never bought one.’ Finally, one day, a delivery driver overheard the conversation and asked curiously, ‘What car does he want?’ The manager shrugged, ‘No idea.’ Later that evening, the old man returned with a big smile, saying, ‘It’s here!’ And indeed, there stood a pristine BMW 3-series. The manager shook his head, amazed. From then on, whenever anyone asked where the car was, they’d just point outside—because it seemed the old man had finally found his own ride.
3. At BMW of Spokane, every weekday after lunch, a delivery driver would arrive carrying not just parts but also a small potted plant. He’d place it on the counter and ask for a specific model, then leave without waiting for service. One day, an old neighbor walked in and asked if anyone had seen his missing cat. The receptionist pointed towards the counter where a tiny fern was growing next to a BMW manual. ‘That’s your kitty!’ exclaimed everyone, and sure enough, the plant held a note with the cat’s collar tag inside. Since then, whenever someone mentions their lost pet, they get a knowing smile from the staff—who now affectionately refer to that delivery guy as ‘Fluffypot.’
4. At BMW of Spokane, every weekend, a small dog would appear in the showroom just as customers were leaving. The little pooch always approached the same silver SUV, sniffed it curiously, then sat down and started barking excitedly. One day, a delivery driver noticed the dog and decided to follow him. Turns out, the little guy lived next door and was just trying to get his owner’s attention. From then on, whenever anyone asked about the mysterious canine, the staff simply said, ‘Oh, that’s just Max. He thinks he owns our silver SUV.’
