Had a problem on a 528i that messed up the alarm, ignition, windshield wiper (they would just stop), and a host of other issues including putting it in to limp mode while running down the highway. The dealer said the battery was bad and the unstable power could cause that.

I hit limp more about an hour outside Houston, limp to their shop and described the problem. The secretary identified it as likely the ignition switch but said they'd take a look. The mechanic drove it home (with my permission) to get it to do it again and had identified it as the ignition switch and fixed it by the next day....years later and the problem never came back. An old friend has taken Mercedes and BMW's to them for years and pointed me to them. I've had other good experiences with them but this one impressed me the most.


....now if someone just knew of a great shop in the Pensacola, FL region I'd be ecstatic.

The guys at M-Spec (adam, Eddie, and Jesse) have been taking awesome care of my X for the past two years. They are fair with their prices, will work with you given your budget and needs vs. desires and they have a brand new shop/location as well. They worked with my Warranty Direct policy and helped to get stuff covered that normally wouldnt get covered. They are also super cool dudes that have a true passion for BMWs (although they now work on other German autos too).

Their address is 69-80 73rd Place Middle Village NY 11379 in Queens (ALMOST Brooklyn), email address is [email protected] and their phone number is (718) 386-2790.

German Excellence in Orlando, FL. Good work at good prices, and they just moved to a new location at 4150 Goldenrod in Winter Park. Much easier to find than the old location. Call Rick at 407 678 6789.
