Large multi-brand powersports dealer. Florida's largest powersports dealer chain with 8 locations. Factory-trained technicians and full service department. Carries BMW among other brands.

Warranty work technically requires an authorized BMW Motorrad dealer. In Florida, authorized dealers include BMW Motorcycles of Miami, BMW Motorcycles Fort Lauderdale (Plantation), Gulf Coast Motorcycles (Fort Myers), Power Motorcycles USA (Palm Bay), BMW Motorcycles of Sanford, RiderMarket Daytona, Tampa Bay Motos, and BMW Motorcycles of Jacksonville.
If you experience warranty denials or disputes, escalate directly to BMW North America Customer Relations at 1-800-831-1117.
