About Us

The inspiration for Autobahn West was fueled in 2004 by the need of avid BMW drivers for a superior source of extremely high-quality, pre-owned BMW automobiles. We are lifelong BMW owners and enthusiasts who truly understand the demands of the discriminating BMW customer.

At Autobahn West, we specialize in BMWs and have developed a reputation for having exceptionally high expectations when selecting BMWs for our inventory. Each car must conform to our high standards regarding it's appearance, structural integrity and mechanical condition. Our inventory is limited because it represents only the most select BMWs and performance automobiles that meet our stringent qualifications.

The most important consideration when purchasing a previously owned vehicle is not the price. It is the overall quality of the vehicle and the inherent value of the purchase.
 
We personally hand-select our BMWs - only after inspecting hundreds of possible choices. We carefully investigate the history of each BMW in advance using Carfax and AutoCheck. Each of our BMWs must pass an extensive Safety / Mechanical / Cosmetic inspection to qualify for our inventory.
We are committed to selling only the very best pre-owned automobiles and we stand behind each vehicle we sell.Autobahn West is located in El Cajon (San Diego, California region) and has been providing exceptional pre-owned vehicles and excellent customer service since 2004. We have customers all over the globe - from China to La Jolla.

Whether this is your first automobile purchase or your fifteenth, we are confident that you will be exceptionally pleased with your Autobahn West experience!
