Shops in Houston for PPI

Looking at a E90 in Houston and would like to have a reputable shop check it out before I drive 4 hours each way; are there any recommendations? Preferably an indy shop.

Motorwerks, f2motorwerks would be my two recommendations.

Both have excellent facilities, and good people with lots of BMW experience

Motorwerks especially has an excellent reputation

Koby Motors. They are not BMW specific, but they have a lot of experience with performance autos and they are honest.

Reviving this old thread from 2011.

I'm from LA and plan on purchasing a M3 from Houston, wanted some help finding a good place to get a PPI. I guess none of the BMW dealerships do this? Motorwerks doesn't do it. F2motorwerks and ARB Houston charges similar but way pricier (almost double the amount)than what I've paid at a SoCal BMW dealership in the past. Seller also mentioned Auto Exam but they're not a shop, just a third party who sends someone out so I don't know how trustworthy they are.

Any help will be much appreciated!

Yeah same here, all the BMW out here in SoCal does it. Naw not that one, this one is more closer to the Westbury area
