Has anyone gotten the M-Aero kit installed in the Seattle\Bellevue area? I'm trying to find out how much installers are charging here.

thanks

BMW of Northwest quoted ~4K which is much more than what others have paid in California (2.3K).

Here are some recommendations:

1. Go to e46fanatics, bimmerforum, or bimmerfest. Do a search with "Seattle body shop." You might need to create an account to do a search.
2. Find out who the e46 owners say do good work.
3. Contact each body shop that is recommended and take your car to their shop so they can provide an estimate.
4. Look for a shop that will charge between $1000 - $1700 for paint and installation.
5. Buy the M-tech from Crevier BMW at parts@crevierbmw.com or BMW of Newport at gromani@bmwofnewport.com.

This is the process I used when I got my M-tech aero kit installed prior to knowing about EuroRev's special for e60.net members. Good luck!
