Anyone familiar with Midwest Performance Cars in Chicago?

Looking at doing a PPI on an E60 M5 there.. They claim to know them well but holy woof on the price. $385 for a PPI, that's more than dealers and double what I'm used to paying.

Wondering if they're familiar enough with the platform to warrant the cost.

I've used them a few times in the past. They know their shit for sure but yea, they are crazy expensive. For that reason, Performance Eurowerks is my go to choice.

Had a bunch of work done by them. Good quality and friendly guys. Uber pricey. Not worth it in my opinion. Can find same quality at much lower prices.

Yeah, I love the PE guys (having them do my M5 6MT swap), they just weren't an option timing-wise. Ended up going to the dealer and predictably getting screwed.
