Looking for BMW shop recommendation in upstate SC

DVCNick · 08-07-2018, 09:34 AM

Radius of the Greenville, SC area... does anyone have a good BMW shop in this area?

I see most of the actual cars here are in SoCal, but figured I'd still take a shot in the dark here.

Potential could be anything from oil changes to rod bearing replacement in the future.
Thanks for any input.

Considering there is a BMW factory in Greer, there HAS to be a good indie shop in the area....

Yes, the factory is impressive, but unfortunately I don't think that would connect directly with good indie shops being in the area...

There are a couple, but I don't know of anyone who has direct experience with them, so I was hoping someone here would, particularly with regard to S54 cars.

What I mean is with a BMW factory there are naturally going to be a lot of owners who want to support the local economy and drive cars made in the factory(like our M roadsters). This should equate to good indie shops to support this. We have several in Atlanta, but this is a bit too long of a drive for you

If there is nothing closer, I would go that far to make sure rod bearings were getting done right. I can be most places in ATL in under 2 hours.

If you are driving should try and call Bimmer Performace Center in Raleigh, NC

In that case, here is where I take my car. Very happy with their work so far....
