BimmerShops was founded in November 2005 with the goal of being the most comprehensive directory of BMW repair shops in the United States. I hope to see this site become a one-stop resource for the BMW enthusiast who wants the highest-quality service for their vehicle.

So far, I've owned three BMWs:

1. I bought my first, a 1986 BMW 325e coupe late in my first year of college. It had nearly 200,000 miles, and I drove it like I stole it. Great car. I sold it because I wanted a little more power and a little more space.
   
   
2. In March 2005, I sold the trusty eta and bought a fantastic 1988 BMW M5. The quick acceleration and the precise handling are exciting, but what really sets it apart is the incredibly engaging driving experience.
   
   
3. When my wife and I moved from the east coast to the west coast, we decided it was best to leave the M5 behind. By then, we had bought another BMW – a 1991 BMW 525i. The car was a wonderful daily driver; it had a strong engine and a smooth ride.

It is my hope that this site helps you enjoy your BMW as much as I have enjoyed mine.
