I'm trying to find a reliable garage in Boston or around the area. Any of you Boston owners out there have any recommendations. Stuff like installing the aftermarket exhaust, etc...

Need a good place to get stuff installed. Like really experienced people who have worked on other M5's or BMW's before.. =)
DesignHaus and PFModify both have installed BB Triflo exhaust before.. They seem to be ok... RPM, I dunno if they have done any M5s, I wouldn't go there.. T3 is pretty good.. Tony, the owner is pretty cool... I dunno if he has done an M5 though.. he has been dying to work on mine.. wanna go first?? hahaha...
There is one auto body shop named 'Legend' and I hear they are one of the better ones in Boston.. that is what I found out in a day of research.. That place has done pretty cool stuff (Lorinser MB kit on a GS400 supposedly)

ahh.. where are all these places?? The only one that I know of is RPM.. 'coz it's only 10 mins away from where I live.. but I haven't heard anything good about them.. so don't want to go there....
Ok you're in allston Brighton area then.. Check out PFModify.. They are on Fordham street.. it is the block directly after where RPM is (Chester St.) if you were driving on Brighton Ave, heading into Boston... does that make sense?? Once on Fordham street, it will be on your left hand side..
DesignHaus is at Packards Corner, right next to the Star Market, and in the same building as The Atrium apartments...
OT: Hey, you are Lambert's friend right?? he told me that you had an M5 in HK..

yep.. I think he mentioned to me the last time I saw him, that he had a friend who reads this messageboard as well.. =)
I thought that DesignHaus was like just an aftermarket shop that sold stuff for high end cars.. I dunno.. the place looks a little too expensive and snobish to me... I'll check out PFModify though when I have time.. Thanks!
DesignHaus is kinda 'high-end' but I would suggest PFMoify.. Scott, the owner is real chill and knows his stuff... Plus, there is a aftermarket Radio shop in the place also.. they do great work.. I am getting them to install my TV Module when I order it..
Is Newburyport too far for you? Schneller has a lot of experience on E34 and E28 models as well as new M3 but haven't seen an E39 there yet (my sampling rate is small...I only go there now and then).
