Does anyone have recommendations for a dealer to get some recalls done? I have an e90 manual looking for dealers near the NYC area. I've heard to stay away from BMW of Manhattan.

I had a very pleasant experience at BMW Manhattan back in 2019. My muffler fell off on the highway and I also started getting a cylinder misfire. I have an 09 128i with the N51 which has the special SULEV warranty. Anyways, I called them and set up an appointment and dropped the car off, they put my muffler back on and also covered all the parts that had to do with the misfire (I think it was coils and plugs) under the SULEV warranty. I didn't even mention the warranty as I had no idea what was wrong with the car. I forget what I paid but it was cheap considering it's BMW Manhattan. Sales staff on the main floor was also pleasant to talk to when I was checking out the M4 CS they had in the show room.

I've also been to BMW in Bloomfield NJ which isn't far from the city. They covered a bunch of stuff under the SULEV warranty as well, again without me even mentioning it. I worked a half day in their waiting room until the car was ready.

I'd recommend both dealers as all the work was done right and just overall good experiences.

I've had good luck with Rallye BMW on LI.

Been dealing with them for almost 13 years now, and they've been very good in terms of customer care, and handled a few recall jobs with my car.

Only issue, I took them up on that 3 Oil Change deal recently, and they did an "inspection" of the my car missing multiple things. They gave me a printout of issues they found, and missed two glaring issues....

1. My power steering fluid was low, with the reservoir leaking.
2. My battery ground cable was completely corroded.

After I got the oil change, I noticed my steering was making more noise, and checked the reservoir (low). Seems odd to miss a fluid check. Also, as soon as my indie shop opened the hood, he pointed at the battery ground cable (which turned green) and said it needs to be replaced. That could have left me stranded, and the corroded green cable was something my shop noticed within 10 seconds, and yet BMW service missed? But they did inspect the hell out of my tire depths, and recommend I buy a full set of runflats.

Ramsey BMW in NJ is a REALLY high class place to be. It's in a pretty affluent area.

Paul Miller BMW seems reasonable for repair under warranty / recall

Avoid these stealerships- BMW Ramsey at all costs and open road in Edison- thugs!

Paul Miller BMW has been a pleasure to work with in my experience

back when I lived in manhattan I used either Morristown or Westchester with Mamaroneck taking closely 2nd place, Im using Westchester still so its definitely one worth considering,
they do have waiting list for loaner with older cars like e90 but they're open late for customers convenience

Tenafly BMW or Park Ave BMW. Both dealers are located in the Bergan County area.
