Probably not much, but might make buying new M models ED and special order easier via email ... but they probably just operate like a worse than average dealership. The benefit would be the liability I suppose ....

Yup I think we've pretty much established that, especially given that's what our BMW AG insider SCOTT26 and total fucking genius miamiten says ... but "factory owned" is a bit of an odd term, at least for me since:

(1.) BMW North America owns BMW of Manhattan

(2.) BMW North America is the "manager" of BMW Manufacturing Company, which makes the X5 & X6

(3.) BWW North America imports BMW AG vehicles like M cars from BMW AG

or something.



Anyway - very special thanks miamiten for dropping some serious knowledge bombs. Super interesting to me - any more you'd like to say about the history of the Max Hoffman network would be fascinating!
