I'm hoping to be getting a M-Tech kit soon, and have been looking for a good shop to do the install. I've tried two local body shops (gaithersburg, md) and neither will do the install (won't install aftermarket parts).
I was wondering if anyone on here in the MD, VA, DC area has any recommendations on a good shop.
Thanks

Ticher BMW has a good price (as of last week) on the MTech kit so i would check with them how much they would charge for the entire kit/paint/install package. never know, might be a good deal but at least you have a starting price.
Let us know how it turns out

Is the M-Tech Kit considered 'aftermarket' even though it has a BMW part # as the M-Aerodynamics retrofit?

BMW of Fairfax body shop. Just had mine installed and painted their. They make sure everything fits properly and that there are not any gaps or uneveness... plus they work on these cars for a living so you know it will be done properly. Also, very nice people... ask for Peter. I negotiated with them and got them to drop their price a little. I got the front M-tech bumper and side skirts painted and installed for $600. Good luck in your decision.

I was confused by this as well, the response I received was since it was not part of the car originally than it was considred aftermark.
