    New England BMW Shop Recommendations

    Folks,

    I’m looking for recommendations for a good shop to work on my 850. i live in Providence, RI so a shop between Boston and New Haven would be ideal. My car has 51,000 miles on it. I want to get the following work done.
    Replace all wear items in all suspension components. Front and rear.
    Install as many CSI upgrades as I can locate: sway bars, x-brace, tower brace, etc.
    Determine if my EDC shocks need overhaul. If so, send out for overhaul.
    Replace the intake all four gaskets on the M70.
    Replace all belts and hoses that show any signs of wear or age.

    In short, I want to make my 850 as healthy as possible and increase the performance and handling a little bit. I’m not looking to drop the ride height for the sake of appearances, nor am I looking to try and dramatically increase the power. But I want a very healthy car that handles a bit better.

    I have my own maintenance shop - but we work on airplanes. A completely different type of shop. But I know what it’s like to have a shop you trust to do good work. That is experienced. I don’t want my car to be the first 850 a shop has worked on. Nor the first BMW EDC they have touched.

    So - who has a recommendation for a good shop that you trust?

    Thanks,

    Zeke
