Recommendation for good Shop to work on Modified R56

[Rob Mc]

Guys:

I have a 2008 R56.  Looking for good shop near Bowie to keep her running fine.  Current need is to have Upper Engine Mount replaced.  Secondary is help w overall cabin vibration.  Before you say it I know that the lower torque solutions mount and some of the other mods made it a lot worse.  But the dash and ceiling liners rattles really take away from an otherwise excellent ride.  She is a true sleeper and otherwise well dialed in.  Can't go to a dealer or an otherwise great shop - Bimmer Auto in Clinton - as the ECU tune takes it out of their comfort zone.  So - even if the OEM Upper and any thing else like Tesa tape on the female brackets doesn't do the trick I still need a good shop. 

This is my first Post so if I broke any forum rules - please be kind.  Appreciate any recommendations.

I do all my work in VA, but I can highly recommend GTPeace in Chantilly. Great shop that is comfortable with everything from routine service to track builds. A tuned ecu will not bother them.

I can also vouch for GTPeace! I've worked with Galen there quite a bit and make a 45 minute drive but its all worth it!

Quick follow up.  Mini just got back from GT Peace.  Quality shop!  Shawn was very knowledgeable and helpful.
