BMW Seattle, or Bellevue?

badjuju_335xi · 08-30-2011, 12:32 PM

Hi Guys,
Im new to this forum, and have mostly been a lurker over the past few months. Im coming up on a service for my car, and have noticed the characteristics of either a faulty HPFP or fuel injector, as well as the wastegate rattle, and im curious as to what the forums recommendation would be. I have a few mods (catless dp, exhaust, DCI, Procede), and was hoping someone might be able to recommend a Service Manager at one of the local dealerships that wouldnt freak out if i kept the mods in(still under warranty). Should i just pull everything out and take it in? (im really hoping to avoid that... ) Thanks for the help!

If you are really worried about it, take them out, mainly the procede.

No such thing as mod friendly SA if you're still under warranty. Best bet is just take them off.

badjuju_335xi · 09-01-2011, 11:35 AM

so would any of you guys recommend one location over the other, not for overlooking the mods but for quality of service?

for service quality, I recommend BMW Seattle. I have great experiences with them.

I have had excellent service at BMW Seattle, Tony seems to be one of the best SA out there. Never any issues.

If you bought it at one of them, I'd take it to that one. Would have better chances I think. But maybe not in a big city my small town dealer doesn't handle nearly as many cars and knows me and fam by name.

Tony is my SA at Seattle as well. I've got nothing but good things to say about him. Helped me with my turbo/wastegate issues a couple months ago and again with my vanos solenoids last week.

Before taking my car to BMW Seattle, I did a search on here and a couple other boards and found that they are recommended more frequently than Fife and Bellevue. Fife is 10 minutes from my house and I still make the 40 minute drive to Seattle.

I would definitely recommend BMW of Seattle. If you do decide to go to the Bellevue BMW, then I'm telling you the best service manger there is Dean. You should call in, and ask if those parts you have on would affect anything. If they do, then take them out and bring your car in.

Tony truly is a great guy, he has helped me with my X5 and 328xi. If you go into BMW of Seattle grab Tony if you can.

My buddy is the SA at BMW of Bellevue. His name is Daniel Perry. Most my buddies go with Daniel for service, Dan is really friendly and cool. Mention my name Johnny Lin to Dan, he will take care of you. Good Luck~
