All dealerships should honor warranty work. BMW gmbH pays the dealership standard labor rates for warranty work as I understand it, so there's no reason they shouldn't take that work.

That being said, if you didn't buy it from them, many are stingy on loaners, detailing, etc.

any dealer, except you should call in advance and make sure they will give you a loaner. only your dealer is obligated to give you one

As others have said you can go with any BMW Center of your choosing.

Are they obligated? I don't think so, but could be wrong. They always make me wait 8 hours in the crowded waiting room which is full. If it's full (15 people or more) and they're obligated to provide a rental, then there are a lot of people like myself who are misinformed....(haha maybe they've got 1990 525's or something, making me the only idiot who purchased new and is waiting)
