Recommendations for So Cal dealer service
I just picked up my M5 here in San Diego this week, and let's just say that the sales team at the BMW dealership left a lot to be desired - almost the complete opposite of my awesome European Delivery experience last month!! I'm wondering if the same attitude goes through to their service department as well.
Newbie Question - does anyone have recommendations for a great Service dealership here in So Cal? (San Diego, Orange or LA County) |

Yes, Dung Trinh at Beverly Hills BMW. He has been the service advisor on all my M5's going back to my 2003 E39.

As with any dealership, depends on your relation with your SA... None of my bmw's have been left stock however so no, i've never had an issue...

I have quite a list of mods and they haven't flagged it. I didn't even remove the race chip for my service 2 weeks ago and they didn't flag it. I also always take care of my SA and service manager with Amazon gift cards |

Cool, they are close to me. I bought my car at Irvine but I have no connections in the service dept. Newport is the next closest

Thanks Ben! I just switched to Sterling as they are down the street, good to know there are mod friendly SA's there I saw Tony for 1200 break in service but I'll ask for Alex next time.

It isn't just the SA, it's whether the techs will respect your property in the shop.
Keep they greasy hands off the car and do the right thing when no one is watching. Also, don't F unplug my dash cams without asking first! |
