DO NOT GET YOUR CAR SERVICED HERE
I wish I could give them 0 stars. I don`t know why I continue to come here to get my car serviced. Even if it`s just a quick check, expect to wait at least an hour and a half. Currently I am waiting on an oil change that`s going to take ""at least an hour"". The advisor didn`t even know I was here waiting for her until 45 minutes after arriving. For a luxury car dealership, they lack customer service. You`d think for... view more the amount of money you`re paying for a vehicle that you would get treated better. I got treated better at Toyota! One time I was here, I knew the service was going to take longer, as I had spent the previous day waiting for 4 hours for a part they forgot to order, and they forgot to reserve my loaner car, so I had to wait an extra 2 hours just for that. Then, the part didn`t come in on the morning shipment like it was supposed to, so I had to keep the rental car overnight and go back in the morning. That was 3 days of dealing with them. Absolutely ridiculous. Anyway, after waiting 2 hours for an oil change, I open the door to get into my car and the guy that had pulled my car around left greasy all over my door from his hands and grease shoe marks on my floor mats (I have light cream interior). So, I went back inside to tell my service advisor and she had already LEFT for the day! Really? You leave while you still have a customer??? So, I told (who I think was the manager) and he did the right thing by giving me new floor mats. That was nice. When Sandra, my advisor, called the next day, I made sure to let her know that I will never be taking my car back to that dealership ever again. I will be making the long haul out to Katy or Midtown from now on to get any work done on my car.

Read BEFORE you visit this place
Dropped my 2008 335i off at the dealership on 7/21/2011 due to an engine light.
Service Adviser was Allison. All went well at first. She was helpful, kind and good at communicating with me on a daily basis.
After some trouble diagnosing the problem (they replaced the engine valve cover). Hank the Service Manager takes over. He claims the oil servicing wasn`t done on time ( first oil change was 2000mi... view moreles overdue, and second one was overdue 3000 miles: Note the engine oil change recommendation is 15000 miles) the warranty for the engine is null. Of course Hank refuses to provide paperwork, refuses to provide and estimate. He claims the problem are the turbos wastegate actuator or the flapper valve, but that the oiling issue contributed to this failure.
Problem is the wastegate actuator is vacuum operated and not related to oil lubrication. Same for the flapper valve. After pointing this out, Hank admitted he didn`t know what was actually wrong with the car, but that they would be willing to investigate further at my expense of course. No figures offered.
After some digging I saw that BMW offered the car for sale a month before I purchased it (from an independent dealer who bought it at auction) as a CPO car. When I took it in for servicing 2 months ago, I was offered the opportunity to purchase the extended warranty.
In other words, BMW was fine with offering extended warranties in March and again in May. I was even told that I could buy the warranty extension up until September of this year.
So, BMW acted in full faith of the warranty until they saw the cost go up.
DO NOT PATRONIZE THIS PLACE.
Cliff Notes: BMW Houston North is falsely denying warranties when repairs get expensive, lying to customers, refusing to document issues, and failing to diagnose problems.

I purchased a used BMW from BM...
I purchased a used BMW from BMW of Houston North recently. I dealt with TJ Rennie (sales person) and Nick Butuc (preowned manager). To say the least, these two are slimy liars. If they promise you anything, make sure they complete what was promised before you purchase the vehicle. After you sign on the dotted line, they forget who you are very quickly. I had a horrible experience with this dealership and will ne... view morever go back there, to either purchase a vehicle, or to have my vehicle serviced. The absolute worst car purchase/service experience I have ever had. The service department is awful. Not only did they take forever to complete simple service issues, but my car was always returned to me filthy. I gave them several chances to service my vehicle, and as far as I`m concerned they failed miserably. The bottom line is, they just don`t care about the quality of their work, and they sure don`t care about their customers. Take it from someone who has been through the wringer with this dealership...don`t waste your time there. You will definitely be sorry you did!

GREATEST PROBLEM STILL HAS NEVER PROPERLY BEEN FIXED & I AM STILL FACED WITH 2 THIS DAY (AND NOW MY WARRANTY HAS EXPIRED). THIS ISSUE IS THAT OF THE KEY LOCK MECHANISM.
I WANT 2 CLEAR SOMETHING UP RIGHT AWAY SO THAT BMW CANNOT ISSUE A REBUTTLE WITH THIS CLAIM. THERE IS SOMETHING CALLED COMFORT ACCES ENTRY. CAR ABLE 2 B STARTED WO KEY N IGNITION IF KEY IS WI CERTAIN PROXIMITY OF VEHICLE.
MY 325 DIDNT HAV THIS FEATURE. KEY REQUIRED 2B N IGNITION2 RUN. HOWEVER, KEY LOCK MECHANISM BROKEN ALLOWED CAR`S ELECTRICAL SYSTEM 2 REMAIN ON WO DRIVER AWARE (EVERYTHING SUPPOSED 2 AUTO SHUT DOWN WHEN KEY OUT).

BMW ADMITTED FAULT N NOT DIAGNOSING PROBLEM & NOT FIXING PROBLEMS. THEY CREDITED ME 4 BATTERY & TOLD ME THEY WLD TRY 2 HELP RECOVER LOSSES.
