Good BMW mechanic in the Socal area
Hi all,
Just got a '12 z4 35i and was wondering if anyone here could recommend a good mechanic in the LA area, preferably in the valley. Was thinking of swapping the mufflers, in the future oil changes/maintenance... Thanks!

Are you looking for an independent mechanic? or a decent dealership? I was always satisfied,,,as much as one can be with Bob Smith in Calabasas, but since I am over 50k now, I will be doing most of it myself. As for oil changes, I do mine at 7500 anyways, and let the stealership do the 15k one. These cars aren't very hard to work on, so far I have changed coil packs, brakes, oil, and next up is walnut blasting my intake, just waiting on the tool.

How much do they charge for an oil change for the Z? I also want to potentially have somebody do the exhaust...

I am not sure what they are charging, I had them do the 15k free ones up until 50k, I would change it myself every 7500, so I cut the recommended oilchange intervals in half, and now that I am out of warranty on the free maintenance, I will be doing the rest myself.
You may want to give a quick call over to Burger Motorsports, they are in Simi, a tuner shop, they may have a good recommendation on an indy Mech for ya

I go to Richard from RTMotorworks in Arcadia since I live in SGV.
