Munich Evolution

Back in November 2012 I was looking for a convenient dealer to sell my vehicle on consignment while i travelled overseas. After getting a recommendation for Munich from a friend I contacted the owner. He was very knowledgable, had a great inventory, but best of all understood that convenience was a major factor. We signed the paperwork and that is when everything deteriorated.
As I traveled I periodically sent emails and called to check progress; no response. In addition, I could see no attempt to sell the vehicle online. Even my local friends could find no local listings of the car (2007 Audi s4).
Fast forward to two days ago (may 20); and I am back in Seattle visiting friends. I decided to «drop in» to Munich. The owner explained to me that the car was on an overnight with a potential buyer. However, as I look at his other vehicles, my car pulls into the lot.
I grab the keys and jump in, i get to the stop light and it hits me; 1,400 additional miles were added to my vehicle during the time it was at Munich Evolution.
OVER 1,400 MILES!
With great restraint, I returned to the shop and ask for an explanation. The incoherent blithering excuses that I got from the owner were embarrassing; from «I thought it would be sold by the time you returned,» to «I had no other car to drive!» Everything just short of driving the car in reverse to take the miles back off… He even offered to compensate me for the added mileage…
Begs the question; Whose car they are driving now?

Matt & his Munich Evolution is the best little car dealership in town. Yes, his stock of cars is always top drawer, to be trusted always, but that is not as important as the man himself. He is unfailingly patient, good-​natured, trust-​worthy, and friendly, and he truly loves cars. Most highly recommended.

So lets say you are looking for a the absolute best possible example of whatever used BMW that you fancy. Say to yourself «money…is really IS no object» and show up here with a satchel of cash and be prepared to be amazed. Last I checked he had a Z-​1. Matt, the owner, will give it to you straight as he knows the pedigree of every car he has in inventory. If he doesn’t have it, you don’t really want it.

I’ve known Matt for some time now but have never had a chance to use him for selling/​buying a car until very recently. First and foremost, Matt knows his stuff and when I brought him the opportunity to sell my baby, a 2004 VW R32 with 60k miles on it, he knew exactly what to do to market the car and create interest for my vehicle. After a very easy consignment discussion, I dropped my car off with him and it was literally sold that weekend. Being that the car was very special to me, I wanted to ensure that the next buyer would be passionate about caring for the car and Matt brought the right guy to the table and he bought the car as soon as he saw it. The experience was incredibly easy and Matt did a great job or marketing my car to the kind of buyer that I really wanted to sell it to. In my opinion there is no more customer friendly auto dealer in the Seattle area that also has such a humongous knowledge of specialty German autos that he sells. I will use Matt in the future whenever I sell another car and have already recommended him to multiple friends that are trying to sell their own cars.
Also, Matt has been helping me look for the perfect E30 M3 for some time and we are still looking, but in the last few years he has put more than 10 options in front of me, all of which were great options, but not the correct car for me. Matt and I are continuing to search and like I previously stated, I don’t think there is a more knowledgable person when it comes to finding the right car for his customers and letting them know everything about the particular car that he is selling or about to acquire for his business. Honesty is something that is almost impossible to come by in the search for a used car but Matt is a full disclosure kind of guy and that is why I know that he’ll get me the right car soon. We’ll eventually find the right M3 but in the meantime, if you’re looking for an honest and knowledgeable individual to use to buy or sell a car, look no further than Matt at Munich Evolution. — Nick G.

After seeing so many cool pictures on the Munich Evolution Facebook page, I knew I had to stop by and check out their cars in person. Glad I did!
The owner Matt is a really nice guy — not pushy at all. Their inventory is VERY impressive. If you’re looking for a pre-​owned car in excellent condition, I highly recommend starting (and possibly ending) your search here.
Matt knows tons about BMWs. When the time comes for another car (knocking on wood), I know who I’ll be buying from.

I’ve known Matt for many years and I’m proud to say he is a good freind of mine. I’ve bought and owned many cars and have alot of freinds in the car business, but Matt is probably the only guy I would buy a used car from. In fact I bought my last M3 from him and he found my mom a beautiful X5. He represents the cars as they are and puts no pressure on you. Not to mention, he has some of the nicest BMW’s and Posche’s around. Like he says «he’s the worlds worst car salesman»!

My wife and I have bought two cars (a ’95 BMW 525iT and an ’03 325i) through Matt at Munich Evolution and I’m sure these aren’t the last cars we’ll be getting via Munich Evo either. We’ve always been incredibly impressed with Matt, his exceptional customer service, his generous allowance for test driving, the quality of his stock and his fair pricing. So much so that we can’t imagine not driving a BMW, and not buying from him!
Equally as impressive is his service when selling. I wasn’t sure what to expect selling on consignment but again Matt made it incredibly easy and he’s so knowledgeable that he could communicate the value of our car way better than I would be able to on my own.
One final note about Matt is that, if you are up in the greater Seattle area, Matt comes armed with a deep network of excellent and trusted mechanics and other service providers (not just for BMW but for Porsche as well).
Skip the dealerships and give Munich Evolution a try, you won’t regret it!
