my guy at bmw that does all my mods said he cant do any "illegal" installations bc some guy in a 135i tried to get his car inspected WITH catless exhaust and downpipes (dumbass) at my dealership and they are cracking down on catless exhaust/downpipes. Does anyone know of a good shop in or around Richmond that does work on downpipes? Preferably one that knows BMW pretty well...

bump, So I guess im going have to do um myself?? And if you say go to RPM im gonna smack you!

If you still have his number, give the kid with the turbo E36 M3 a call. He may know someone. I assume Bimmerworld would do it but they're way out near Roanoke.

I will give him a call, thanks bro

Contact the guys at www.autosportllc.com. They work almost exclusively with BMWs, do restoration and maintenance using an independent BMW tech. I think they're located in Chester.


Or - drive down to Greensboro, NC and go to http://www.eurobahnmotorsportsnc.com/

Yeah I wouldnt recommend them if you had a fuckin 93 honda civic dx....RPM haha, what a joke. When I ask them a question about something they google it RIGHT IN FRONT OF ME. I was like dude I can do this shit at home, nevermind.
Phillip's boy at Midlo BMW said they would do it at $240 so its set for thursday. HPF intercooler is comin in on Friday but I will be without a tune for a couple weeks....til my Vishnu with the the 130 firmware comes in. Looks like I found a new BMW tech. Thanks Phillip.

EDIT:Correction, that for the fmic and dps. I dont want to burn any bridges. Just post the info that I was given by the secritary. Jeff seems very educated on the subject matter and I am looking forward to working with him. Problem solved

I'm surprised Richmond BMW (Midlo) doesn't frown upon this? Are they voiding your warranty? Which tech is doing the work?

So...first they said they'd do it, then they changed their minds?

Wow... typical Richmond BMW! Who was the tech and the service adviser?

Yeah they said they would do it for $240, I said great lets do it. Drop the car off, they call me 5 or so hrs. later and say, "our state inspection guy saw what was going on and we had to stop work on it." I doubt they even touched it...I dont know the names of the guys, they were not the normal guys I go to, just recommended by a friend. I usually go to broad st. they have always treated me well, but they said downpipes is really the only performance mod they cant install because they will get find some crazy # if the state inspector ever found out that bmw installed them.
