They did. Good people. I used them quite a bit when they first opened, and for a few years thereafter, including the transmission r/r. Then they got quite expensive and less willing to use the parts I would show up with. I fully understand that parts are a big part of the business, but my “business” is wrenching on my cars, sometimes screwing them up or get in over my head and then asking for help. I’ve usually got the parts on hand by then.
Logan out at the BimmerShop is super easy to work with, and has done a good job for me when the car gets dropped off at his doorstep. This has tended to be off a flatbed over the past year as I’ve worked the kinks out from my motor swap. He’s also put rear axles in for me as I was sick of pulling axles, sorted out my pulley issues and a blown heater hose that I mis-routed. Good dude too and a wealth of knowledge about M6x powered cars. I will say that he’s always quite backed up, so you’ll need to be prepared to be without your car for a week or so if you take it to him. I drool over a ratty looking M6 he’s had out in front of his shop for a long time. The owner won’t part with it, but won’t fix it either.
I may use him to do a full Bilstein shock, strut and spring refresh including bearings, pads, the works. I think I’m getting a lot of noise from these worn out pieces and parts. On the other hand, this is easy driveway work, or should be anyway. I think I’ll just do the B4 pieces as a firmer ride isn’t what I’m going for with my x5 project, but I suspect the Bilstein units will be a nicer solution than OE.
