I need to get my fuel injectors cleaned, but the dealership wants 300...I wanted to know of any reputable BMW places that can do it for me for less...

Why do you think you need it cleaned? Have you tried using Chevron Techron fuel injector cleaner?

Well I took my car to the dealer and they recommended that I have the fuel injectors cleaned since I have 30,000 miles on it...that as well as my tires rotated and balanced...They are charging 369, but I'm pretty sure it doesn't cost that much to do it....

I think you're better off getting the dealer doing it, unless you can get an experienced mechanic clean them for you. I messed up all my injectors by periodically pouring down those bottles down the tank. BMWs don't digest :thumbsdown: them very well, i think.
