Where to get PPI done?

Looking at a high mileage M3 for sale locally. Seller is stating that lots maintenance has been done, including RB's, throttle actuator, clutch + flywheel, etc. but does not have service records. Just want to get a better opinion on the car before I jump into it.

Any good shops locally that are experts with the E9x and the S65? My personal mechanic is an N54 wizard but is not as familiar with the S65.

So far I'm thinking GT peace.

The techs at Rockville BMW are pretty good.

Also, the service advisor I worked with took great care of me. I'm sure they would do it for you no problem.

RRT and GTP are the two places people seem to point to most on here for things like RB, etc. I've only got experience with RRT, who did my RB replacement, as well as a number of other things. Their work was great and they were very knowledgable, even in just off-the-cuff phone calls to the main line.

I had German Auto Group of Alexandria, VA do a PPI on my M3 before I bought it back in 2017. They were very thorough and seemed knowledgable enough about the E9X platform, and helped me save a decent amount of money on some maintenance items during the negotiation with the dealer.

RRT does a great job on rod bearings and other BMW items. Highly recommend.
