Following this as well. Performance Technic seems to be a good shop in Fremont

MisterF80M3 · 04-29-2021, 01:26 AM

The most popular shops that specialize in the S55 are

HTL
Four B
SVG
Carbahn but expect to pay dealership pricing

Silicon Valley garage (SVG) I think is a newer shop around, seem pretty legit.

I'd +1 on HTL and Silicon Valley Bimmer (SVB)

Performance Technic has been around for years and can be trusted. When I lived in the bay they worked on a few of my cars.

You can risk with trying a newer unproven shop. YMMV.

I second Performance technic

The guys at VT Motorworks are cool and experienced with F8x platform. Not sure how they will compete on pricing but I think they're pretty fair.

I always took mine to German Motor Specialist Mountain View, nice folks reasonable price ask for Paul.
