H town
I'm moving out to Houston here shortly and wanted to see how many of you are out there? I assume the crowd is much better than where I'm currently at. Any recommended dealers for service? I'll be up in The Woodlands area.

Great city--slightly warmer than Hell in the summer. Lived there for a couple of years back around 2000. My neighbor was a part owner of Porsche of North Houston. Back then, they were associated with BMW of North Houston. Don't know about now, but both good dealerships 20 years ago. They have a ton of cars in stock today, so worth checking out.

Houston is a great car town. Especially for Corvettes, as Hennessey is there between it and Austin. Not sure about BMW clubs/events, but sure they will have them. Good BMW dealer--as well as Porsche, as I think I mentioned. Midland heat vs Houston humidity... So, good luck!

The Woodlands isn't so bad. Please be mindful of the crazy drivers in Houston. Also, yellow lights on a left turn do not exist in Houston, 3 seconds on red light still mean green around here.
Service roads/frontage roads are called feeders here. People absolutely do not know how to turn on medians so please have patience lol Be prepared to add "yall" to your vocab. Bug spray is absolutely essential to have. Texans have very big egos when it comes to Texas and Texas teams lol It's hot and humid, again it's hot and humid. So yeah, Welcome to Texas, am sure there is more to add to the list but that should get you by lol |

We just moved to Sugar Land from San Francisco. We've been working directly with Momentum BMW, but haven't gotten any service with them yet. So far my experience has been good.

I tried BMW of The Woodlands but they were kind of assholes for lack of better words. BMW of Houston North was much better. The staff there seek great so far and that's where I'll be taking my car most likely. They're also doing a courtesy delivery for my M3

I've been working with Advantage in Midtown for my order (haven't taken delivery yet). My experience has been hit or miss (really liked some of the people and not so fond of others that I've talked to) but can't say I've been "wowed" thus far by my experience. Not sure I'm a great reference though since I haven't owned a BMW previously or ever had any service done at this location or any others for comparison. I only went with them for the order because they got me an allocation before any of the other dealerships in town. I talked with SAs all over the region, and after talking with a SA named TJ at BMW North Houston, they would have been my preferred dealership. I will likely use them for future service. They seemed to be the most honest of the bunch, but like I said, I have limited experience with any of them. This probably wasn't too helpful but figured I'd share my experience nonetheless. |

I've been happy with the service at BMW Houston North so far. I didn't buy my wife's X5 from them but take it there for service.
I currently have my Santorini Blue G80 6MT on order through them. I did shop around to all the other local dealers when searching for allocations. My SA at BMW Houston North said he could get me an allocation for a manual by trading with other dealers and he came through for me. Other dealers just told me to get in line and wait. |

I am moving back to Houston from Breckenridge. I am sure everyone thinks I am crazy to do so. Living in a ski resort is overrated. Selling my Q7 and getting in a M3 again.

I was the sales Mgr for Breck iron works. Spent a lot of time at Broken compass, wonder if our paths crossed? Enjoyed every minute of it- but we also decided to make the transition back- even our paradise can be taken for granted when it’s in your backyard… Some day maybe again… but this time with more money and sense. Sure is hard to make it work long term as a young adult if you’re looking to do more than lift-y and bartend. Welcome back from DFW |

I am moving back to Houston soon. My house is currently on the market. I was going to buy a house in the Heights, but I decided to lease a high-rise condo downtown for now. Maybe next year I will build a house. Expect the market to soften in the next few months. I bought my car through Advantage downtown and I have used them in the past with my E92. They always did great work in an easy to get to location. Welcome to Houston.

Bridge and tunnel! You could not pay me to live outside of the loop. Though, the housing is sooo much cheaper there.
