surprised to see they are no longer main dealer , just service/ parts and used cars. Anyone what happened ? Hard to see any dealer giving up the franchise especially since they built large impressive premise during the boom. They have always had good name for customer service and doing good deals but their used stock…

Hard to see any dealer giving up the franchise especially since they built large impressive premise during the boom. They have always had good name for customer service and doing good deals but their used stock tended to have a lot of older and high mileage cars and at steep prices.

Really their web site hasn't been updated. Is the garage in Limerick the same?

http://www.conlans.ie

Found them a bit hit and miss, my wife bought a car from them back in 08, but after that they've been uncompetitive when we've checked with them. I've found the location a pain too, just that bit too far off the beaten track, particularly for servicing where you need to get on to work or kill a few hours.

Edit: just checked bmw.ie, the Limerick garage is still listed.

their website just doesn't emphasis they aren't main dealer - you wont find a listing for new bmws in Kildare site - they are still dealer in lk

Are you going to post about every car dealer in the country?

They're building a new bmw dealership in Naas which will be open later this year.

Actually, you must be really surprised.
