I use Rennwerks in Mt. View. They do a pretty good job judging from the two times I have been there.

yup have to agree with the majority on going with Edge. I've tried Rennwerks and GMS on the south bay but prices Edge has them beat. Give them a call or drop by since they are so close to you. You won't regret it

I too would like to know a good place since Edge is pretty far away.

Palo Alto Bimmer isn't the greatest place in the world...

For the people on the other side of the bay:

I've personally used Rennwerks in Mountain View with great success. Also seen recommendations for Streetwerke in Palo Alto but never been there myself.

Edge is a good place to go.

I also would recommend Competition Autoworks in San Ramon.

I'm also looking for a shop. Anyone have any experience with Bavarian Motorsports in Milpitas, or Bill Arnold BMW in San Rafael (opposite sides of the bay, I know). Specifically I am looking to have my valves, cams, and other goodies in the head inspected (don't ask :( )

If you can go to Bill Arnold...GO TO HIM...His reputation amongst BMW CCA members is excellent. Dunno how busy he is, but I only hear great things about him from the guy I know goes to him. My buddy has E34 M5, and Bill keeps it running great.
