Hi - I am a new owner of a 2004 530i purchased in CA and I am looking for a little help from you Dallas folks. I have head horror stories about getting good service from the dealers in the Dallas area and I wanted to get your opinion.? Is there one dealer that actually stands out for service? I am in the North Carrollton area so I am not really close to any of the dealerships; service is the most import issue. Thanks? - Hopefully this was not a hijack. - will add signature soon.

Welcome! I can only vouch for my experince with BMW of Dallas. While I would say that their SA's would get a "c" rating, if you go in armed the knowledge you gain on this board, the technicians are pretty good. I met the GM of Classic BMW by chance, and he offered to take care of me in the future. I have no personal experience with the dealership, but I was impressed with the GM and he and I had a long conversation. I think I am going to stick with BMW of Dallas for now, but these cars are so new that I think most dealerships are behind the knowledge curve.

[/quote]Thanks for your input - It is hard to change once you start working with someone. Neither of the dealers are rated that high on the dealerrater.com site, but there is one SA that seems to be a bit of a star at Classic. We will see what happens.

JDN - sounds like we have the same SA! Some times I wonder were the broom is? I had no issues with my 97 M3 at Roberts
Had great experience with my M5 at Classic. We get the X5 4.6is serviced at Classic as well. Ask for Pat Arnold.
Mortiz is just too far!
Good Luck

Well, at least she acted like she was interested this time. All we did was a warranty oil change and out again. I left a claim for the split wheels from last November with her - along with a thread from this forum. She's moving it up the line for me. We'll see how it turns out.
