Trusted Shop to Install M3 Parts in DFW

I've accumulated quite a few M3 parts and I am ready to get them installed -- can anyone recommend a quality shop I can go to?

I was thinking Stett or Autoscope -- but I'd like to hear from some forum members who have actually had m3 parts installed somewhere in Dallas.

Thanks in advance,

Matt

I have heard several good things about Autoscope. I used them to roll the fenders on my old car and was please with the job they did. Staff was very courteous and their shop looked great.

You may have a bit more luck with this kind of question on the regional forum on here and on the e9x regional forums.

I had Stett install a downpipe in my car. Reasonable labor cost. No complaints...

FYI, the conversion isn't difficult, but it is very time consuming. I don't live in the area, but I'd recommend going somewhere that does a lot of BMW work as the tools should be common.

Afterwards, you will need an alignment and that is where I would take it to a shop that does alignments and track inspections. Get both done at the same time to double check the work and make sure you are safe.
