In 1971- Family owned CREVIER BMW was founded by brothers Bob and Bill Crevier. At that time, the BMW was a rather obscure automobile with a small but loyal following.

In 1974- Don Crevier, Bob's son, joined the company as a sales manager, becoming a partner in 1975.

1980- by this time CREVIER BMW was selling and leasing 500 BMWs a year, ranking it as one of the top sales leaders in the state. Today they sell or lease more new and pre-owned BMWs then any other dealer in the Western United States.

In November of 1987, CREVIER BMW moved from its original location to a spectacular new 52,000 square-foot, 5 acre dealership in the Santa Ana Auto Mall, in 1988 became the largest volume dealership in the Americas.

In 1999- Bob Crevier was presented with the "Ethics in America" award. This program was co-sponsored by Chapman University's Leatherby Center for Entrepreneurship and Business Ethics and the Orange County Chapter of the American Society of Professionals who demonstrate a code of conduct that includes honesty, integrity and compliance with the law in all business dealings. Winners also demonstrate ethical business standards to employees, as well as consistent commitment to high quality services.

In 2009 CREVIER BMW ranked the 3rd on the Ward's Dealer Top 500 List. According to Steve Finlay, Ward's editor, "Dealers who post such impressive numbers are the best of the best. They are doing things right with their customers, striving to attract new ones and keeping return customers happy. These dealers are good in all facets of the business." The list is based on annual revenues, sales and customer service among thousands of dealerships nationwide. Both Bob and Don Crevier are recipients of the Time Magazine "Quality Dealers" Award.

 Today the dealership features one of the West Coast's largest inventories of new and Certified Pre-owned BMWs as well as one of the few MINI franchises in Orange County. CREVIER BMW now sells over 4600 new and pre-owned BMWs a year to maintain the number one ranking  for sales among BMW dealers in the Western United States.
