BMW Power Kit

jsublime · 09-20-2011, 02:41 PM

Has anyone had success with any of the DC area dealers concerning the performance power kit?

Here are my results:
Passport - "It's not available for the 135"
Alexandria - seem to know what I'm talking about but can't decide what they want to charge for labor.
Fairfax - doesn't answer the phone and haven't replied to my email
Sterling - did not even try b/c I don't like them

You might be like me and thought Sterling was/is notoriously bad. They've gotten a lot better. I suggest at least trying and talking to Ted Ibach.

Thanks for suggestion. Tischer gave me a decent price ~ 800 installed. Would prefer alexandria or passport location wise but I guess I'll drive up there since they are the only ones who have a clue.

Tischer definitely know what they're doing, almost of all of their SAs can be recommended.

I know a BMW tech that works at Tischer, he can probably do it on the side for you, and just charge for parts and discounted labor.

he's done work for me before. To put things in perspective, he did a oil/filter change, differential and transmission flush all for ~$375 or so, incl labor.

PM me if interested for his contact info
