Reputable shop for replacing our Spark Plugs?

Hey guys, I'm just wondering if anyone can refer me to a shop somewhere from Central to Eastern Mass. (or Southern NH) that would be able to replace my spark plugs and has experience in doing so with E92/E90's? I KNOW most of you will tell me to do it myself and that it's easy, but frankly I don't have the time, patience nor skill to do so and need a good German/BMW shop or someone that can do the job well and for a reasonable price. Any idea's or recommendations would be appreciated.

Give BPG (Bavarian Performance Group) a call in Winchester. These guys are the Diffs On-line guys - very knowledgeable BMW guys who are into mods and racing. They've been around for quite a number of years now. The do all my indy work...

Ya, but not when you have a GIAC tuned 335 w/ additional supporting mods. as your daily driver in which you have driven hard for the last 45k miles.. They are in need....Trust me. You should be fine though for at least 75k miles on the other hand (assuming you still drive an '06 330 and that it's relatively stock?)

That May be but I'd much rather pay the 2 hour labor charge to have someone else get involved...I don't have the best track record of doing things under the hood myself and I really don't feel like screwing with something like this on a 50k dollar car. haha

diy, easy job
sometimes diy isn't about saving a few dimes...it's fun and you feel alot better doing it yourself.
