Did your dealership make the cut? BMW annouces 2012 Center of Excellence list
 

BMW of North America announced its annual Center of Excellence (COE) honors, awarded to the top performing dealerships in the U.S. Thirty-three of the 338 BMW dealers nationwide achieved "2013 Center of Excellence" status based on their 2012 performance in customer satisfaction, outstanding brand representation, operational excellence and profitability.

"I am always very proud to welcome the Center of Excellence winners and this year we have a strong mix of repeat and new winners," said BMW of North America President and CEO Ludwig Willisch. "Being a COE has never been more critical to the success of our brand and we are all inspired by their accomplishments."

"We recognize not only these outstanding owners and operators but also their teams who continuously demonstrate the ability to perform in a highly competitive market," said Peter Miles, BMW of North America Executive VP of Operations.

Only one on the whole list from Florida? Hmmm

Very surprise Peter Pan BMW made the list. I guess with the number of folks making over $100k in that area way above the national average, hustling them with sweet talk is easy.

20. Shelly BMW, Buena Park CA
21. Irvine BMW, Irvine CA

24 made the list. They are a good dealer, I have a friend who used to be a master tech for them.

#8 is right by me and have been there a few times to buy some parts. Awesome service, couldn't be better IMO.

Bought my e46 back in 2001 and my e92 a few months ago from #8.

There are three dealerships in my area, and all are kinda sketchy though on in particular is AWFUL. Glad to see they are not on the list.

I bought a 2012 closeout 335i M-Sport and got it for $1000 below dealer cost ($6,000) off msrp. Maybe I just got lucky.
