Tried searching this but nothing came up for MA.

Do you guys know of any mod friendly dealers? I'm stock now but plan to start modding again

[MassBimmer]

I'm pretty heavily modded...coilovers, wheels, exhaust, intake, etc.. Wagner BMW Shrewsbury is very mod friendly, they always compliment me on my car and have never given me a problem. BMW of Peabody, however, is a different story. They seem to stick their nose up at any modded cars and I haven't had many good experiences there from a service standpoint. They even made comments about my tint, which is at the legal limit by the way, saying they wouldn't have passed me for inspection

I had a somewhat modded 335xi and I always used to go to Shrewsbury but after I went FBO I ran out of warranty so there was no need. My SA was younger and he was always cool so I think I'll stay with him. I've heard from a couple of people that BMW of Peabody are really tough with mods so I don't think I'll be going there... That's rough though, especially with the comments on the tint

Can you PM me your SAs name at Wagner in Shrewsbury?

Cant answer your question but stay far away from BMW Norwood

That service dept have had a major turn around. DO NOT go there

Hahah looks like sticking to the usual dealership is my best bet

Shit I was going to Norwood for turbo warranty. Maybe I should take my car somewhere else.

I want to upgrade intercooler and I am worried the dealership may not want to replace turbos....?

Anyone have experience taking modded cars to Herb Chambers on Comm Ave?

Honestly, I doubt they'd even realize you had an upgraded FMIC in there..especially if it's the 5" ones that don't require trimming.. but who knows, they could call you out on it. I would get the turbos replaced and then upgrade the FMIC

no idea

I am going to bump this to see if there is any news.

Summary so far is avoid BMW Norwood, Peabody and Springfield.

Wagner of Shrewsbury seems to be top choice.

BMW of Herb Chambers has no comments atm and no one mentioned BMW of Rockland.

I go to Shrewsbury and had no problems with my third party GM warranty and many mods

A little out of the way but worth it I guess if it won't cause me a headache. I am looking to get a fmic soon so I can run stage 1+ fmic with my cobb ap.

Probably worth mentioning though that I went in for waterpump and none of my mods would have affected the cooling system
