"Irv, is a consummate professional. He knows more about the ins and outs of BMW European Delivery than any client advisor I've ever spoken with. Even though I live over 1000 miles from Barrington, Irv made it super easy to do business with him and Motor Werks. I would gladly purchase a new car from him again. In fact, I did so earlier this year! He even helped make everything right in 2010 when the Iceland volcano interrupted our trip plans. Irv is the best." -June 28, 2011

"Irv is a real professional. He brings a rare quality of personal care to the industry which is hard to find. Since I first met Irv, I have purchased 5 BMW's from him over the years. I have since moved across the country and intend to make my next BMW purchase from Irv when the time comes. If there is a problem, he takes ownership of it and makes it right--just like you would expect, except its happens painlessly. If you are looking for a BMW or European Delivery, not only is he one of the best in Chicago, he is one of the best in the country." -June 9, 2011

"Irv is the reason why I go back to Motor Werks. I've purchased three bimmers from Irv and every experience was positive. Irv know's the BMW backwards and forwards and will guide you every step of the way regardless of what model you're going to purchase. Guy's a class act." -May 25, 2011

"The bottom line: if you want to do European Delivery on a new BMW, Irv is the king. I don't have time for incompetence. Irv get me the information I need, the paperwork organized, and a price that beats the competition. What more do you want? Best of all I can do this over the phone or email and don't have waste time in a dealership. I am sure Irv is a nice looking guy, but I don't care - I need hot cars, delivered in Munich. Period." -May 25, 2011

"It is tax time and I am in my accountants office admiring a picture of the Italian country side. He tells me that he had taken the picture while in Europe. That they had purchased the car through European Delivery?? I went home and immediately started researching who, where and what this involves. One of the first things I did was to read all of the different BMW blogs about "ED" European Delivery. What the potential savings could be, where different people traveled and of course the best roads for driving. Well, it did not take long to read one particular persons name popping up and that was Irv Robinson. Buyer after buyer shared there BMW experience purchasing with Irv. What an easy, fun and knowledgeable person he is and a bunch of other positive stories. So, that is what I did. I contacted Irv...nervously pessimistic about what the process would be like. We talked BMW talk....where to travel in Europe talk, money talk and how to make this happen. Everything worked like clockwork. Believe me when I tell you that with the knowledge and experience that Irv has, one can be completely assured of one of the most satisfying experiences allowed. Not only a great buying experience but a trip of a life time. Thank you Irv." -May 24, 2011

"It was difficult in the previous section to choose only three attributes for Irv. During the years of interaction that I have had with him, I have experienced all of the attributes listed. In addition to dealing with him long distance, via e-mail, telephone and regular mail, I have had the pleasure of seeing him face-to-face multiple times as well. His professionalism and persnal care are rare in this industry. I look forward to working with him in the future on another purchase." -May 24, 2011

"Irv sold me my first Porsche, and would have sold me my second (and current) had I not moved to California. He was patient, and focused on making the right deal for me. He always took the time to speak with me, post-sale, to hear about my experiences with the car, to provide information about new cars, and to network. I have and would always recommend Irv to my friends and family when they are looking for a car brand he (or his dealership) covers." -May 24, 2011

He is a very professional and honest person and always had the customer's best interest at heart. I felt it was more important to him to make the customer happy than just to sell a car.

"Irv is the most upstanding Client Advisor that I have ever worked with. I have bought many cars at many dealerships over the years, but Irv is something special. Honesty is an afterthought because he does so much more and really knows his stuff. He goes the extra mile to ensure satisfaction and is a pure joy to work with. As most (if not all) customers, I regard Irv as a true friend...and I can't say that for any of the other dealers or dealerships that I have worked with (dozens) over the years." - May 23, 2011

"I found Irv through the bimmerpost boards. He was extremely knowledgeable about both BMW European delivery and performance center delivery - which I did both. I knew the exact car I wanted and we quickly agreed on a price. I wanted a 2010 model year, and not 2011...so Irv needed to do some bargaining to make that happen with the factory. He also had good recommendations regarding logistics and places to see in Europe. I would use Irv again and highly recommend him to others." -May 23, 2011

"If you are considering a new BMW, I fully recommend you contact Irv and learn all the advantages of European delivery. He will make the process as easy as 123 and save you some money. He is truly the ultimate professional. I was waiting for the x drive version of the 535i to become available and started working with Irv about 6 months before I picked up the car in Munich on April 8, 2011 but Irv can make it happen in much less time, as little as 2 months. This is my 4th BMW, 3 of them 5 series which I started buying when I lived in Munich for a couple years and had a great visit back to Bavaria. Some practical advice is DO NOT get off the airplane from US and go directly to pick up your car. Take a day, see Munich, drink some great beer and go out to the BMW Welt on the U Bahn and pre register to pick up your car the next day and go to the museum or factory tour. If you drop off the car at Munich airport there is an AGIP gas station at the airport with a great carwash to get your car ready to ship back. I will do more business with Irv." -May 22, 2011

Jay Joshi, MD, Medical Director, National Pain Centers, LLC
"I almost had my 2008 BMW European Delivery purchase handled by a local dealer here in FL, but when I saw all the potential for disorganization, I started to wonder if my car would even be there when I arrived in Munich. As soon as I learned about Irv, I cancelled my FL order and had it all done through him in IL. Not only did it turn out to be the most organized, professional, and pleasant process imaginable, but even the price was lower. Irv has continued to keep in touch with me throughout my entire 36-month lease, which is now almost over; and all I can say is that a more honest, decent, and kind individual simply doesn't exist in the industry. If you're seeking a hassle-free, efficient, and memorable European Delivery, Irv Robinson is the person you need to contact ... period." -May 21, 2011
