Does anyone know of a good private service shop for our 2006 530i. We live in Los Altos CA, zip 94024, tired of getting crushed by the dealer. Thanks..

Hi E34, I absolutely love German motor specialists in Sunnyvale. Their shop is clean and their work is impeccable. They never use cheap generic parts (often the case with oil filters at other places) they are very respectful of your vehicle and the only place I take my 2007 ///m Coupe. http://www.gms.cc/ check them out. They are a bit pricey but totally worth it. [edit] and of course Dinan, but they are pricey and in my opinion not quite as personable.
BMW of Fremont, from the list above, reached out to let me know they have updated their phone number to (510) 224-4820.
