Default BMW mechanic

looking to buy used E46 M3. Can someone recommend me a BMW mechanic in OC to check up on it before purchasing?

TIA

they are because they can back up what they said.

watch out for the subframe damage on e46 m3, good luck having a guy checking those out without a car lift

You're welcome! Call him first, because I think he might have moved. He's a really great guy to work with, and extremely knowledgeable. He's really fun to just talk cars with.
