Good BMW Indy Shop near Dallas for PPI...

bigdaddycane · 02-11-2015, 11:12 AM

I'm looking at purchasing an E92 M3 in Dallas and want to have the car taken to a good BMW independent shop for a PPI (since I am not local to Dallas). The car has been serviced at both Dallas BMW dealers and I just want a good independent third party eye to go over it.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Not exactly sure where at in Dallas you're referring to, but Spec Motorsports is in McKinney. They specialize in working on M's and have some very nice current and past projects.

The car is in Irving, Tx. I will check out Spec Motorsports. Thanks for the referral.

Irving is pretty far away. Probably about 40 miles away from Spec.

There's Clown Shoe Motorsports that is a BMW shop. That's probably less than 10 miles from Irving.
