So... I bit the bullet and drove my car down to LA to Golan at AutoTalent.
His shop is clean, doesn't upsale anything, keeps you up to date with progress, courteous and professional. This was seriously the best repair experience ever. There is one problem though, his shop has Porsches, Lambos and Ferraris, so it'll make you want one badly. |

Our shop is BMW only and has been for 9 years, our techs have the experience and factory training. I'd be happy to help anyone interested in the Bay Area for this service. We offer WPC or BE and it is by appointment only. We can match the EAS and AutoTalent pricing for locals here in the Bay Area. Hope that helps! |

Order bearings from SYT_Shadow, misc oil/o-rings, gaskets, etc from ECS, and have member Playskool1 (in Union City) do the work. He wrapped up mine last night and my total for all parts and labor (other than alignment) was ~1800. Ray is easy to work with and does great work. He did a lot on my E46M over the years as well.
