Mod Friendly Dealers

Hey y'all,
I bought a SS F82 last June. I'm in the Bee Cave area.

Not sure if this should be here but is BMW of SA friendly for modifications? I called and got a generic response.

I bought the platinum warranty from Hendricks so I think I have to take it to them. I'm thinking of buying BM3 and maybe a catback but don't want to lose the included service I have in the plan.

Appreciate it guys!

FWIW, I've had warranty work done at both Austin dealers and they didn't mention anything about mods. I didn't roll in and say "hey, I'm running a ___tune, downpipes, intakes..."

Has anyone here in the Austin area used a shop to proactively upgrade their crank hub? If so, who did you use?

I am also interested. I haven't done much research but there are a few shops in Austin that specialize in tuning European cars.

Brinks Motorsports
Eurocharged
Eurofed.

Keep us posted!

I'm from San Antonio. BMW of SA is definitely not mod friendly. The dealership has a bad reputation in general and alot of car people drive to Austin to buy and service BMWs.

Hello Austin folks! Has anyone in the area had their F80, F82, F83 spark plugs changed at a non-dealership? If so, what did you pay? Quoted ~ $1300 at BMW of Austin

Have you tried PMW or AMW?

I don't have a quote. Was just suggesting.

That is the same thing they quoted me. I walked away lol I will probably get mine replaced at Brinks motorsports along with high temp brake fluid.

Don’t know much about Brink’s other than their location. Aren’t they Audi? Didn’t know they serviced BMWs. You have experience with them and your M?

They are Porsche BMW Audi Mini and most German brands, they are also an APR dealer. I have used them with my Golf R, Mini Cooper S and M4. Their customer service is outstanding.

No longer have the M3 and never got around to installing new never installed wiper blades.

$20 for the wiper blades: pickup around RR/Pflugerville area.

Have OEM M Performance black lines that have amber turn signals and V2 M Perf steering to sell as well. PM if interested.
