Yep. Multiple great experiences with Sewell, including BMW of Grapevine.

Seems like it has been years since a metro Atlanta dealer made the cut

Only two California dealers despite being the state with the most dealers.

tbh I have visited two most obvious dealerships in Bay Area before I found third one which I ended up going with.

Of course everything is subjective on customer experience side but I'm glad that I listened to myself.

I agree, I purchased a BMW from Passport BMW that I ended up trading for another one at BMW of Fairfax.

Before I went to BMW of Fairfax, I tried BMW of Sterling who did not want to work with me. Have never worked with BMW of Alexandria, or Silver Spring.

But I know that BMW of Fairfax service center is tops. I always find an available on line appt and their people are user-friendly.

Congrats to Peterson BMW in Boise!
New building and great team there.....

Props to "BMW of Fairfax"! It speaks volumes that they are literally surrounded by several BMW dealerships within 100 miles and they stand alone for the Northern VA, Richmond, VA, and Maryland areas. They're making it do what it do!

Back in the day, my go-to BMW dealer was Passport BMW,...as I have bought about 7 vehicles from them! In fact, it was my first experience of a brand new BMW,...2012 535i Sport! It was fresh off the boat! I was like a kid in a 5 and 10-sent store with $5 in my pocket!

Well, there was a changing of the guards at Passport BMW,...and I started dealing with BMW of Alexandria,...then Richmond BMW. I some how migrated to BMW of BMW of Fairfax and bought 3 cars from them. In my quest for a 2020 M340, I hit up BMW of Sterling (...a very LARGE dealership). Lastly, in my quest for a 45e, I migrated to BMW of Catonsville, of which I've bought from them twice in 2 years.

the only south florida dealer remotely deserving this ranking would be ft lauderdale... but yea we agree 100%

Yep they never make it. I have always had good experiences with Crystal Lake BMW but that’s a hike for most as it’s a far northwest suburb and tiny compared to other dealerships. Will never go to perillo or any major suburb dealers again for various reasons (attitude, shadiness, pricing practices)

United almost always makes the cut lol. They've been on the list the past 4-5 years.

I actually think Bill Jacobs was on this last the last few years.

That's funny, I was thinking the exact same thing and the last time Braman was on this list was in 2022.

I would add that I have always had extremely positive experiences with the people I have dealt with at BMW of Ft. Lauderdale in both their sales and service departments.

I wonder what the criteria really is to receive this "Center Of Excellence Award" because BMW of Ft. Lauderdale (Holman) has always checked all of the boxes for my wife and me.

[beeedin]

Dang, a little surprised that BMW of South Austin isn’t on here as I’ve always had a great experience there, but it looks like competition is tough in Texas!

Supposedly it’s some combination of excellence in “sales, customer experience, operations, service, and parts.” How they rate each of those metrics to determine the top 40 is unknown. I’m not sure the actual dealers know how all of the data is ranked to come up with the final list.
