You can try VAC motorsports. I think they are at 25th and Snyder, on the corner. I don't know the address off the top of my head.

VAC motor sports charges WAY too much. Check out Carismatic Automotive on instagram. They're based in camden.. Do great work. Have done spring install on my 435i and DP on my e93. Highly recommend.

I live up in Abington, check out Autobahn Motorsports. They specialize in BMW and they've been nothing but great for my stuff.

+1 on VAC being way too expensive... their quote for the timing chain was insane compared to other known shops.

If you want to take a drive up north there's also Lehigh Valley Motors

MD Motorwerke right over the bridge from Philadelphia in Somerdale NJ. Very experienced factory trained mechanics. Very honest and trustworthy. Only work on Mercedes, BMW and Mini. Been taking cars there for years and wouldn't go anywhere else. Talk to the owner Matt at (856) 435-0525
