I like it but it is somewhat out of date. The dealerships in Austin, TX; San Antonio, TX; Grand Junction, CO; and Fairbanks, AK are out of date - ie wrong. I don't intend to be critical because it is a great effort.
Blue Moon in Norcross sold their BMW stake to what has become Hour Glass Cycles in Buford, which was not listed yet. Blue Moon now concentrates on vintage BMW bikes.
Also, another BMW dealership cropped up in McDonough, GA, which gives the metro Atlanta market 3 choices (BMW Motorcycles of Atlanta being the 3rd.)
Wonder why that directory does not show these changes, which have been done for over a year.
I guess it just depends on the wording in the search criteria.
Engle Motors in Kansas City (since 1956), with a comment that said that making people happy was their business model. I didn't write it but it describes Mike Jones, his late father Norman Jones and his son Adam Jones and the whole staff to a T. Bet on it.
I've posted this before, but ...
Previously our dealership in Albuquerque was a multi line dealership and the 2nd longest standing BMW dealership in the USA. They couldn't be trusted to do an oil change correctly.
Now the BMW motorcycle franchise is owned by the local BMW auto dealer and it's imho one of the best dealerships in the USA. This dealership has locations for both cars and bikes in both Albuquerque and Santa Fe.
I'm pretty certain the key to success in BMW motorcycle dealerships is combination with BMW car dealerships. It's really the BMW/German culture that counts, and frankly it's completely apples/oranges when comparing to price-driven selling to kids, which imho describes most other brands. No generators and jet skis at BMW dealers that interest me.

That's really quite a strong assertion, suggesting your local dealer is one of the best in the USA. I am quite curious to know how many other BMW dealerships you have shopped at and had your vehicles serviced at in order to come to this conclusion? 10, 20, 30?
I'm no doubt slow as I just realized Countryside BMW in Illinois has closed. Seems to me BMW dealerships have a very short shelf life over the last three decades. This is nothing new to most and of course there are still a couple handfuls of "Mom & Pop" (longer standing dealers) around. In Illinois and Indiana alone I can recall many dealers coming and going in relatively short order over the last 30 years...South Bend (3), Fort Wayne (2), Indianapolis (3) with one of those still going as the only BMW bike dealership in Indiana. In Illinois, there have been dealerships in: Peoria, Springfield, Savoy, Naperville, St. Joseph, Rock Island, Rockford, Countryside, Laurel, Urbana and Chicago Heights over that time. Now only Barrington and Urbana by my count (others' memories might add to this). As I've been told when asked, "Do you know how to make a million dollars in the bike business? Start with five million." Apparent tough way to make a decent return on ones investment, especially today, as we older enthusiast are putting that kickstand down for the last time.
