Anybody have any experience with Fluid Motor Union ?

Are they realiable and reasonably priced for regular maintenance and repairs?

My warranty has run out, and maintenance is due to run out early next year. Looking for an independant shop that is reliable and cheaper than the local dealers.

Thanks for your help, folks!

I used them few times for my e46. Very reasonable prices (reflash of ECU was $60 if I remember correct), bought some parts as well.

You need to ask for OJ, he worked for Perillo Bmw, knows his stuff. There is a woman who usually answers the phone, don't know, few times I thought "what a Bxxch". Otherwise, their labor rate is extremely low (when I used them it was $65/h), plus if you speak with OJ, you will get lots of free info and help on modding etc.

Hope that helps

Yes it does. My intermittent rough idle problem could not be diagnosed by the dealer, becuase they could not reproducte it. I migth take it to these guys to see if they car find out why the car idle very rough occassionally.
