Another dealership recommend thread

Hello, I live in Diamond Bar and I'm not close to any dealership. The two closest are Ontario and Monrovia. Does anyone have any experience with either? I've been to Monrovia and I always hate when there sales people have no idea what they are talking about. For example, I was told the original m2 (when asking about the comp) has a competition package and that you can order individual color as well. I started to argue but I gave up easily..

Anyhow, it's time for an oil change and I need a dealer that I trust for the duration of my warranty. Tyia.

Thanks, I've read all the threads. If I didn't care about traffic, it makes sense. Was looking for some input on these two...

Bruce at Monrovia is great but i agree their other sales people are not the most knowledgeable. Family buys cars from him but we get service at Irvine.

Ontario was the first Dealership I contacted back in August/Sept. of last year. They had a BSM M2C on the showroom floor but wasn't the color I was looking for. Put my name up on the waiting list and never heard back from them. Eventually I got lucky and got an allocation @ BMW of Encinitas. Never contacted Monrovia unfortunately. I took the Amtrak when I picked up my car, costs like $20 - 25 bucks non reserved from the Anaheim Station off the 57 and Katella all the way down to Solona Beach. Guess I got lucky the Amtrak Station was a few miles from BMW of Encinitas.

Go with Israel at McKenna BMW.

I’ve had my car for 1 year this month. LBB LCI. 20k miles. All services done there.
Maybe you’ll see my car around Diamond Bar time to time.

I think I have seen you, well someone with a lbb one. I'm never in my m2, but if I see you I'll give you a two sign lol. I saw someone drive up Carpio Dr about 2 weeks ago, not sure if that's you or not...

Thanks all for your input, I might go to Isreal, but I hate that traffic/distance...

Just got my car back from McKenna for an ISTEP upgrade, and Israel also hooked me up with some free coding too based off his recommendations with the coding he did with his F80. Second time I've done with him and would recommend.
