Greetings from the East Coast in Maryland!

I知 looking at purchasing an M3 in Portland and was wondering if any folks have a recommendation on a shop for a PPI as I would be buying the car site unseen.

The car has some crash history so I知 a bit concerned.

Has anyone had any dealing with BMW of Portland? Is their Service department good to deal with and trustworthy as an option for M cars?

Open to all advice and opinions as well as recommendations on shippers.

I used Pacific Motorsports in Portland when I was trying to buy an E46 M3 remotely from Washington. Super thorough inspection and they send you a web link with all the info and pictures attached.

I believe it was 275.

Ending up not buying the car because of what the inspection brought up.

Perfect! I had actual just got off the phone with them before seeing your reply and I think I値l go with them.

I called Dynasport and they offer it for 190. They didn稚 mention all the pictures and web link stuff that Pacific did.

W/o seeing the car in person that will be invaluable.

AR Auto Service wanted $450 which I知 sure would be thourough but the price is steep compared to the others and Pacific sounded confident in their quality.

I went to Dynasport to do the repairs and fixes (like valves cover gaskets, DCT fluids, etc) when I firstly bought my M3 from CA back January 2021 and the price is reasonable. They knew M3s and I also get my X5 services there serveral times. AR Auto Service is pretty busy and scheduling them is really hard, they mainly focusd on the tracking cars tunning and mods.

are you buying M3 from dealers or personal?
