I'm not sure what's different about a M dealer and a Non M dealer. They both sell M cars.
Thank you for weighing in. I really appreciate it. May I ask, have you had occasion to work on M cars—whether F90 or otherwise? As a follow-up, is there anything that makes working on an M car any more aggravating or troublesome?
I work on everything all the time. Normal cars, M cars, full electric cars. Everything. It's just like any other car it just has an S engine and sometimes a pretty paint. Nothing really different other than more expensive parts.

It doesn't take any specialty to work on an M more than any other car. Hopefully any tech will be respectful and careful around paint and trims and sensitive surfaces like leather and carbon and such. But that goes for any car as well.
