Over the last 10 years, the BMW dealer network has invested over $2.1 billion dollars improving its sales facilities and repair workshops, refining processes and focusing on top-tier customer service, making it one of the most successful franchises in the US.
?While all BMW dealerships offer a premium experience to our customers, the 31 Centers that have won this year?s award excelled in the way they take care of their customers and represent the BMW brand,? said Peter Miles, Executive Vice President Operations, BMW of North America.

Classic BMW (in Plano), which recently moved into a new facility around
2 years ago, still didn't make it on the list. I wonder if they still have the
same level of customer service.
Thoughts from anyone who takes their car there on a regular basis for service?

Many of these dealerships look to be in smaller markets (Dubuque, South Bend, Dayton, Austin ...), which may imply a few things. Customers in non-urban markets tend to be more forgiving and have lower expectations (so their customer satisfaction scores will naturally be higher). And I would guess that many of these best dealerships are not the big-box, mega BMW dealerships - smaller shops may be better able to present a more customer-friendly approach.
Bottom line: I pay attention to stuff like this. And since my local shop is not on the list, while a few 'best dealerships' are nearby - I may look to them next time I'm in the market. Good job BMW - hopefully this will make the dealerships not on the list work harder for my business.

Hendrick BMW of Charlotte made the list. They are much better than I felt they were 10 years ago when I went elsewhere for my first BMW (Flow BMW of Winston Salem, NC). However I got the car I wanted and the deal I needed from Crown BMW in Greensboro. I would not go there (Crown) for service (or probably any more sales). Hendrick does treat me like I bought the 550i there but they've known me for years from BMWs I have bought there. I would consider them a large dealer but in a mid market area.
I wonder what happened to Flow?

Don't know what a mega BMW dealership looks like, but having been tangentially involved on the legal side of dealerships and the sale of same, I can say none of these three Detroit area dealerships are mom and pop operations. My standards are high and Erhard either met or exceeded my expectations.
Kudos to them.

That's my dealership, where I go for every service. AND no doubt and not surprised they are at the TOP of the list. I always get the supper service.
I'm scheduled to bring my car in this coming Tuesday. I guess it would be good way to start the conversation by congratulating them on this.,

Crevier is where I bought my E39, when I lived in San Francisco. I flew down to pick it up and drove it all the way back. They are a great dealer and their prices were top notch.
I love how Rallye BMW is not on this list. Although one of the biggest dealers in the country, they are also one of the worst. Glad they didn't make the list.
