Thanks, DLite. After looking through this entire thread and not even seeing anything in TX, I was just about to ask for a good Houston area shop.

On a side note, I did not see this mentioned anywhere in the thread: BMW Repair Shops - Find a BMW Mechanic | BimmerShops.com Maybe it could get put into the first post and we can continue to comment here on our experiences with shops. They have a LOT of shops listed there, some with customer comments/reviews, others without. Either way, in my situation, Texas German Autohaus was listed on there as well, but I had no way of knowing whether or not someone in this community had used/would recommend them.

I realize there are similar websites like what I have put together, however for the most part, mine is dedicated (but not limited) to experienced garages familiar with the S62. It's a reference point by M5 owners, for M5 owners.

Ed totally took care of me from a price and quality of service perspective. His crew knows the car and aren't afraid to go off the rails, e.g., replace the headlight adjusters. Couldn't be happier. They're going to be getting my business from now on whenever possible.

Just a thought... But wouldn't all of this information be better suited for a Google Document where it was arranged by state to help make searching through A LOT easier?
