My Ride: 08' 535xi, White/Black, Premium, Cold Weather, Navi, Logic 7, iPod USB
Anyone used this shop in Long Island City, NY for any work on your E60? I'm looking for a place to install H&R springs on my 08 xi. I found these 3 from tirerack.com and seemed to have good reviews. But I'm not so sure who gave those reviews 
and what kind of cars were serviced so your unbiased review will be very helpful. Here is their addresses and contacts:

3216 37TH AVE
LONG ISLAND CITY, NY 11101-2114
(718) 482-0515
GREAT BEAR TIRE & AUTO

MAXIMUM AUTO, INC.

MIDDLE VILLAGE, NY 11379-0000

Any feedback on these three or other shop that you used are greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

I'll get you the name of the place I had mine done at. I suggest going there, since they have done an E60 xi already. Member LI-M5 (Neil) sent me to this place. Owner's name is Nick. It's on 110 in Melville, but he's great and did an awesome job. I'll follow up shortly...
