Well...I think I saw in another thread that you are close to Arlington and am not too pleased with getting to Sterling to get the Mini serviced.

I prefer Sterling out of all the NOVA dealers. I used to live about a mile from Arlington BMW and never had a good experience there. I've purchased an 04 MCS, 06 X5, and the 135 from Sterling (after getting an 03 325 from another NOVA dealer) and they have always been great and much less of a hassle than either Arlington or Fairfax (at least for me).

I also find, given their inventory and turnover, that it is easier to negotiate a fair price with them.

So I would recommend them but I also understand the getting to them issue, especially if you spend most of your time inside the beltway. It's a full day trip to get to that place!
