Yes. A BMW genius is a non-commissioned position here at the dealership. When I re entered the workforce after working for myself for 16 years ( with a brief 2 year spell at Carmax as a Service writer in between), I was a BMW genius for the first 2 years here.
Geniuses are capped at about 45k here. Even less in some other dealerships. Yet they do everything a salesman does here except for two things:
#1. They dont negotiate the sale.
#2. They have to know everything about every model BMW for the last 5 years.
I just got tired of selling cars, and not getting paid for it.
And yes, Carmax was the red car/Terminator era in my life...The Monster was delivered to Carmax, and I drove it home from there.
