Did I miss the post about Chicago BMW?

In my driveshaft search, I pulled them up on the internet and saw this message.....

Having provided our customers with dedicated, professional service and great pricing on all your BMW Motorcycle needs since 1992, Chicago BMW is closing our doors.
If you have a current order with us you can get order status information from Mark by calling 1-773-338-6868 and asking for BMW parts. Thank you again for all your support over the years. Ride Safe!

Cue Queen....."another one bites the dust" Sad

A new dealership opened in Countryside, IL which is on the southside of Chicago. Several key employees moved to the new shop.

New dealer owner bought Chicagoland and closed it up. Eliminated the competition.

Bob,

Do you know if the new dealer has (or will in the future have) an on line "fiche" and parts ordering/shipping like MaxBMW or even a slightly more rapid version of the old Chicago BMW?

Just to have another source for parts.

Thanks,
John

The owner of Countryside BMW is apparently a class act from what I've heard. I would expect exemplary parts and service work.

That said, I googled them and didn't see a fiche yet. Hopefully it will come, as well as discounts similar to Chicagoland BMW.
