BMW Dealership for service around LA

Any dealership recommendation for service/repairs around LA? I got the aftermarket warranty that I intend to use. Car always been serviced at dealerships before me (I am the 2nd owner) so want to continue that record.

Thank you in advance.

I would say avoid Santa Monica and Beverly hills. I have been to South Bay, Center, Nick Alexander, and would recommend them. McKenna looks good too.

There are tons of qualified independent techs around here and they usually poach the best talent from the dealerships.

Between South Bay, Center, Nick Alexander - which one would you recommend. Think McKenna is closest to my home but I am willing to drive far for a better service/repair.

Yes, I am aware of good independent techs around but would like to have BMW service at least until my warranty runs out in couple of years.

Beverly Hills BMW on Wilshire has never done me wrong. Most they've done for me is alignment and coolant n' hoses though. Their parts are a rip though compared to other dealers.

Same experience. So damn expensive and half the floor staff acts like they couldn't give less of a shit. Had a staff member tell me that I should have bought an E39 M5. Whatever dude.

I remember going to BH BMW years back for a repair quote on my X5 and nobody had the time to even talk to me.
