    Bias aside, I've heard enough first hand customer experiences that should make you wanna run from International. Our master techs are very experienced and we are a smaller operation too.

        All it took was one phone call to the parts department at International to send me over to Concours. That and my dad's f10 535i is leased from there and they have been spectacular through the whole thing

          Thanks for the info everyone and for making it so easy - Concours it is. Now, I am sure that all mechanics there are good but I would really like to find one that has more experience with E60 M5s. I work on all my cars myself, but since the M5 is still covered CPO/maintenance, I will take it to the dealer for covered items. So I would really appreciate it if someone can PM me a name or two?  :) Thanks!

          REKIII - thanks again for pointing me to this forum!

          Hope to meet some of you in person as well.

            Basically all the techs have experience on the E60 M5 since its not that old of a car. You want Scott Leitzke as your service adviser though, he will take care of you the best.

                    Great experience at Concours! Thanks again all for making the choice so easy. And thanks CYoung for recommending Scott, he did take care of everything.

                        Concours all day every day. I have received nothing but exceptional service and communication from them. 

                        My buddy tried taking his M3 to IA once and was basically just ignored/disregarded, which was enough to steer me away.

                            Backstory: kaiser got lost 2 blocks away from the meeting point for the 5er meet when our love train was broken up by a 4 way stop. Instead of calling me or chris for directions he pulled over and indulged in some donuts that he had stashed away. I dont blame the man but he threw in the towel prematurely on that one

                                Just to clarify once the parts department closes, its like locking a vault. Only parts dept employees have access/keys to get in. Unless you requested something to get set out you're stuck waiting till the next morning.

                                  The guy walked into the parts dept and looked for like 10 seconds and claimed he couldn't find it.
