Couldn’t be happier with my new purchase. Waited almost a year to pick up new GX but fell in love with the X7 while I was waiting.

I had an awesome sales experience with Owings Mill but I’m located much closer to DC. (Highly recommend them for your next purchase). For those local to the area, can you share your recommendations for the best local shop and why?

Thanks!

I've had several great service experiences at BMW in Rockville including the infamous sharkfin antenna repair. They are always good about loaners.

I like BMW Silver Spring for service, even though I buy all my cars from Passport.

I have used Alexandra, sliver spring, Fairfax and sterling

Sterling is closest to me and don't bring my cars there anymore- Went in for an water pump on my n54 and while every thing was good; there was a McDonalds Coffee cup left in my car that was not mines.

SliverSpring is a hike for me - and 495 traffic forget about it. - Awesome for getting parts

Alx was my go to for a long time till a few their service advisors left.

FFX is where I go now - they were 11th on the Center of Excellence

I've also been using Silver Spring, and they have been quite good. They addressed some issues on my X3 without any hassle (warranty work for vibrations/driveshaft issues and non-warranty work for VANOS, brakes, alignment, and oil), and service quality has always been very good. The dealer isn't cheap but at least they've done good work. I plan to bring my X7 there as well when the first service is due.

I use Sterling for service as they are the closest to me - only had 1 major issue over the last 10 years or so with a "do not wash" where they washed it and left swirls everywhere. To their credit they took 3 days and fixed everything, re-ceramic, etc. - not a huge fan of the constant upsell but it doesn't bother me enough to go somewhere else.

I've bought from Passport before and Fairfax twice. Passport and the deal was excellent, they are just a bit far from me. Have a good SA at Fairfax now.

BMW of Fairfax is my go to shop, even if it's a bit farther than BMW of Sterling. I also like the fact that Fairfax has Saturdays appts on line. Sterling does not...
