I've had several good experiences with Elite Auto Repair in Rhode Island. Worth adding to your list I think. Interested to know about other options in RI.

Ricky Bobby will become famous soon enough
I'll add my two:

Marc Motors
85 Main Street
Madison, NJ 07940
Owner: Marc Albert, 973-295-6523

Redline Speed Worx
175 Jefferson Street
Washington, NJ 07882
(SOON MOVING TO NEW LOCATION ON ROUTE 22 IN GREEN BROOK)
908-223-7477


Both phenomenal shops but two totally different ones. Redline Speed Worx is a Euro specialty place and has the best fabricators around, amazing TIG welding, transmission rebuilds, differential installs etc, I wouldn't hesitate to give them any work at all.

Marc Motors is a local neighborhood honest indy mechanic, he worked for Dave Zeckhausen for years before opening his own shop, knows his Bimmers well, and did plenty of work for me before, always lets me bring him parts if i want.

He's a damn honest mechanic thats for sure. Worked for Zeckhausen back in the day so he knows Bimmers.

Nazario (Naz24) just took his X to him for some work, after getting a $3800 repair estimate from BMW dealer. Marc did all including parts I think for $1300?

He is great about me bringing my own parts, as he tells me "just don't bring me junk", and if he sees something busted, leaking etc he calls in the middle of a job to tell me. He's also had stuff break/fall apart when working in other areas and those issues are always resolved too. No shortcuts taken ever and the work is always done right.

Dynamic Auto Sport in Huntley IL is great as well.

The sole mechanic/owner used to be the service manager for BMW at MotorWerks. He worked on the side here and there out of his own garage, got so busy that he quit MW and opened his own shop. The guy is as good as it gets and his pricing is very reasonable.
