Recent experience with dealers in Seattle / Bellevue area?

I'll be moving back to the seattle area in the next couple of months - anyone have any good recent experiences working with CAs in the area, and can recommend someone who can give competitive prices (i.e. a shade above invoice)

I bought my first bmw at the bellevue dealer about 7 years ago, found my CA at the time off this forum who gave me a great deal on ED; unfortunately he's no longer there. Heard lots of negative reviews on Bellevue at the time but my CA was great; not sure how/if the situation has changed.

I'm looking to get an X3 or X4...

Thanks!

I keep hearing that BMW Northwest in Fife is the best.
I keep hearing that BMW Seattle is improved.
BMW Bellevue seems to me to be about the same it always has been (we've bought 3 cars there). They're kind of tough on price, they're a Costco affiliate so they're used to $1000-$1500 above invoice, hard to get them lower. If you go there, David Ly seems pretty goo.

I had a very good experience at BMW NW for my 2015 328i ED. My CA was Mark Rauschert.

Good luck

Are there any drawbacks financially in buying a car from Oregon and then bringing it to Seattle? Just trying to figure out if I have to factor in added costs (besides driving to Oregon) if I buy a new car from a dealer on Oregon.
