I'd be interested in knowing too.

My usual indy mechanic is up in Belmont, CA. Really good shop, but SUPER far from SJ. Another one I was recommended by my hair stylist was BR Racing in Campbell. Never tried them out personally..

For issues not covered under my warranty I take my car to Motorspeed West in Santa Clara. They specialize on working on Bmw and Mercedes only. Real good service and usually they only charge me 35 dollars to diagnose the car to see whats wrong with it.

I would reccomend Bay Area Motor Works in Campbell. Their number 408.8711778. William is a nice guy and very educated in BMW's

BTM Motorwerks, Eurotech, and Rennwerks are all great shops in Campbell. Rennwerks does corner balancing for all of those with coilovers.
