JD,
Here are four in MA that a friend recommends. I'm under stealer warranty so haven't gone to them yet for anything other than an oil/filter change.

Amesbury, MA, USA 01913
PHONE: 978 388-7769


These are pretty high end indies so they may not be a whole lot cheaper than the stealership. For the work that you need done - CV boots - it is not difficult, jut labor/money intensive so I would try and find a cheaper indie. Maybe someone on this forum can pipe in with a cheaper indie rec.? ...or you could post your question on the Boston Chapter of BMWCAA.
