e92 Service Options in SoCal

[SaMaster14]

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!

why not just take it back to MRF since he did your work previously? if not there is...

S5X Performance in Irvine.

EAS in anahiem.

Raskin Built in Newport Beach (this shop does most of my work)

I should have specified that I'm on the west side, and would like to stay as close as possible to West LA/Santa Monica/Beverly Hills.

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!

that's weird if MRF stated that, i know people who have gone there for regular service...

with that said. as far as LA County shops goes.

Castro Motorsports, JMP Autowerkz would be my 2 recommendations for BMW work.

with Monrovia Alignment to get alignments.

Thank you, Malek!

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...)
