BMW Portland

Jeff Swickard, CEO of Swickard Auto Group, has purchased BMW Portland from Lithia Motors. The transaction includes both the franchise and its real estate. “This purchase is a personal and professional investment in Portland,” Swickard said. “Portland has been a part of my life for decades, and this is my way of investing in its future.” Swickard, a University of Oregon graduate, also purchased the landmark Portland “Big Pink” U.S. Bancorp Tower this summer. Many of BMW Portland's employees remain with the dealership, ensuring continuity for customers while adding Swickard's focus on hospitality and customer experience. Swickard Auto Group operates dealerships in Alaska, California, Oregon, Washington and Hawaii with a focus on premium automotive brands and community investment. Swickard Auto Group is headquartered in Summerlin, Nevada.
