Good shop near South Jersey
I just bought a 2011.75 E90 M3 6MT and love it but I have some anxiety about the rod bearings, motor mounts, brakes and alignment.
Any recommendations for a great shop near South Jersey? |

It's worth the drive to get it serviced at AutoCouture Motoring in Fair Lawn, NJ. Highly recommend them.

That's what i thought although some are telling me 2011.75 doesn't need rod bearing replacement and some say the Blackstone test is not a sure thing for determining wear or need for replacement. Any thoughts?

Autocouture by far the most popular option and the shop looks sick, dying to get up there. I'm unfortunately struggling to find time in my schedule to plan a trip up there since I'd either need a ride back home, then back to my car the next day or I stay over night but I'm just busy as hell. And over 2 hours each way isn't the worst, but not ideal obviously. I was hoping to get my bearings and engine mounts done here tomorrow, but unfortunately had to travel this week for work. I live just a little north of you but work in Philly. I've researched around a solid bit, only other reputable shop I found with experience doing this work is VACmotorsports in south Philly. |

AutoCouture Motoring is a great place but he is in Vineland and they are all the way up to North Jersey which is over 2 hours from him. He asked for a good shop near south jersey. I would highly recommend Helix Motorsport or VAC in Philly..

Nothing but good things from ACM. I recently had my RB’s replaced and would’ve used them but timing didn’t work out. I’m in South Jersey too- called a bunch of places in the area and no one would touch it. I wound up going to Autobahn Motorsports in Willow Grove. A hike, but great guys. GL.

Bavarian Specialties in King Of Prussia (about 15 miles west of philly) did my rod bearings last April and did a great job. A bit far from south philly but they know (and race) their BMW's.
