Brian Jessel, the eponymous founder of Brian Jessel BMW, always dreamed of owning his own dealership. Brian grew up in Ontario and worked in Toronto as a car broker. In the early ’70s, he made his move to Vancouver, where there were more opportunities for owning the dealership he envisioned. He continued his career as a broker in Vancouver -“the job he knew”, and one, he says, that “you do when you have no money.” He laughs. Eventually, he found the chance to start a used car dealership. He had managed to accumulate “six used cars at once, and so there you go – a dealership,” he says. He found space to lease at Burrard and 1st, and thus began Brian’s storied career as a car dealer.
Having been taught everything there was to know about buying and selling automobiles by his father, Bernie Jessel, Brian Jessel began his career in the automotive industry at the age of 19.
In 1972, Brian moved to beautiful British Columbia, where he owned several different dealerships over the years, but was determined to fulfill his dream of owning a BMW dealership.
