Dealer Recommendations in Houston
hey guys,
Not sure if this is the right area to post this, but looking for some recommendations on trustworthy dealers to service my M5 at in Houston. Looking to do my 1200mile break in service! Cheers, Christophe |

I know the service manager at Momentum BMW on 59. Let me know if you'd like an introduction.

Momentum sucks, but it's the easiest to get into.

I have a dedicated tech for anything done to my car @ Momentum West. I do all my own work, except the bare minimum at the dealer to fulfill BMW warranty. (In other words, mine gets about 3X the oil changes with the oil I use. ) I then take my oil to Momentum West and the tech uses my oil, and only puts in as much as I direct him to. If you want his name I can furnish it. They did my 1,200 mile FWIW.

I have been using Advantage downtown, since I work downtown. I happened to buy my M5 there and so clearly will be using them. I have 600 miles on mine and already have an appointment for next week upon return from a Fort Worth trip. I generally have been happy with them, they did service my 2008 750 and 2012 650. What I can say is that when I had to replace my 3 month old 65o engine due to driving in high water, they did a great job. When I got the car back, I had only one small follow up, and never had another issue over the 2+ years I drove it with the new engine. SO given it was a full engine replacement and it was well done, I would say use them if convenient.

...a bit of a stretch, but I've only had great experiences at BMW of Austin. They're a lot more involved with M-cars too!

Random question: How long do 1,200 mile services take? I was told over 3 hours.

That's exactly what my problem is with the dealers in Houston. They are not experts in M-cars at all. I've never had an issue with the service on my 750, but the M-cars need much more attention to detail and a specific service manager that deals with the M-cars primarily. Haven't found that dealer yet in Houston. I wonder if the GTR guys have the same problem with Nissan?
