e92 Service Options in SoCal
I picked up my e92 second hand about a year and a half ago now, with ~77k miles on it. I immediately replaced rod bearings, valve covers, spark plugs, oil, and differential fluid over with Malek at MRF Engineering in Lake Forest, CA.
I have DINAN Stage 1 tune on the car, as well as the DINAN free flow axle-back exhaust; otherwise, no modifications to the car. I am now approaching 80,000 miles and I did get a service reminder on the car. I was wondering if anyone had a recommendation for a good, but reasonable, shop in the SoCal area for a full service, oil and other fluid change, etc. I could always take it to BMW, but I know they are going to cost an arm and a leg and recommend services the car likely does not need. Any recommendations are appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I was also under the impression that MRF didn't do a full service, but specialized in rod bearings and engine work. That being said, I'll reach out to Malek and see what they can do. Thanks for the recommendations!

I'll shoot you an email/text to set up a time to bring the car back down for a full service! (Car is running PERFECTLY since doing valve covers and rod bearings, at least from my untrained perspective...)
