Wisconsin MINI Dealers
I'm ordering a MCS in the next week, and I'm not sure which of the 3 WI dealers to order from. I'm looking for some opinions and experiences on MINI of Madison, MINI of the Fox Valley and International MINI in the Milwaukee area. Fox Valley is closest, but wouldn't mind driving a little more for better service. Not worried about the sales department as much as service.
Thanks in advance for your help!

Milwaukee: Large, has a corporate feel; more like your average car dealership, the novelty of being a MINI dealer appears to have worn off there. Large inventory. Pricey service department, don't expect any breaks. Does give loaners. My experience with them was good, but I like the Appleton dealership better.
Fox Valley: My favorite, hands down. They are more quirky, like International in Milwaukee used to be; it feels like a MINI dealership should. Not as much inventory as the Milwaukee lot, but the service department is the best I've ever been to--from a price and service standpoint; they do not gouge, they are trying to build a name for themselves. The dealership is relatively new, still trying to spread the word, and subsequently there customer service is off the charts. Also give out loaners.
I haven't used the Madison dealership, but I've heard good things about it. Where are you located?

I'd pick Fox Valley if it's closest.
Although MINI is owned by Bergstrom, Bergstrom has given them a fair amount of independence, much more than they have with their other dealerships. I live in Fond du Lac--Fox Valley has driven cars back and forth from my house to Appleton to make exchanges. They're also trying to get active with the MINI community in the area. Check 'em out; their service is fantastic.
