Hey everyone,

I’m looking for some insights regarding the BMW Center of Excellence award for dealerships in 2024. I’ve heard that this prestigious accolade honors dealerships that excel in areas like customer satisfaction and overall performance, but I’m not entirely sure what the specific criteria are for this year.

Here’s what I’m hoping to find out:

  • Criteria for the Award: What exactly do dealerships need to achieve to qualify for this award in 2024?
  • Winners Announcement: Has BMW already announced which dealerships received this award this year? I’d love to know who the standout performers are!
  • Dealership Highlights: Are there any individual dealerships that are being particularly recognized for their achievements? I think it would be interesting to learn what they’re doing differently compared to others.
  • Customer Experiences: If anyone here has deals from these award-winning dealerships, it would be great to hear about your experiences and how their service compares to others.

I’m considering getting a BMW soon and want to make an informed decision about where to purchase from, so any information or links you can provide would be greatly appreciated! Let’s discuss any news or updates on the 2024 Center of Excellence, as this could really help a lot of us looking into the BMW experience more closely.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Looking Forward to Your Responses!
