    Reputable BMW Mechanic/Shop in San Jose Area?

    I just moved up to the San Jose area this week and have been having some random trouble with my S50 swap. I need to have a professional take a look and diagnose the problems I am running into. If anyone knows of a shop that I can trust and can help me out please let me know. Thanks :D

    Maybe Dick Chiang of Dynospot Racing? He's always been good with the S14/S38 crowd.

          People tend to like RGMW, but he's in Auburn which is about 3 hours from SJ.

                    I've had great experiences with my e30 and e39 touring at Bavarian Motorsport in Milpitas. Ramon, who runs the shop, seems to be able to just listen to a car and know with near certainty what the issue is.
