Wes M
Overview And Experience
Wes embarked on his BMW journey at a BMW-only dealership in Raleigh, North Carolina, starting in June 2006. After gaining valuable experience there, he moved on to work at a BMW dealer in Colorado for two years. Seeking new opportunities, Wes continued his career path and spent an additional two years working for BMW in Illinois. Eventually, he returned to Raleigh, North Carolina, to become a part of the Bimmer Performance Center (BPC) team.
Wes holds his MACS Certified EPA 609 certification since June 22, 2006, further demonstrating his commitment to maintaining high standards in his work. The expertise he gained during his time at various dealerships prepared him well for his role at BPC.
Wes’s decision to join the BPC team was influenced by an invitation from Dan himself. Intrigued by the freedom and autonomy offered by BPC compared to dealership environments, Wes eagerly embraced the opportunity. He finds immense satisfaction in witnessing firsthand the improvements his work brings to customers and the overall shop. Wes takes delight in meeting individuals who share similar interests and appreciates the camaraderie that comes with it.
In his personal garage, Wes has an impressive collection that includes a 2011 BMW E90 335i and a 1988 BMW E30 M3 Clone, and a 2010 Toyota Tacoma with a 6” lift. These vehicles reflect his diverse automotive interests and showcase his passion for both BMWs and other notable automotive models.
