I am the new owner of a loaded 2007 550i with 37,000 miles on it. I upgraded from a 2001 VW GTI GLX VR6. I never realized that you don't just drive a BMW, you experience a BMW. What a car! I am enjoying the 367 HP. I am also looking forward to my drive to ALMS Sebring BMW car corral this March.

In any case the 15,000 mile dealer oil change is a bunch of BS and I want to know if My Mercedes & Bimmer Place is a reputable independent shop that will only change my oil and not mess with anything else on the car. I have always changed the oil in my cars with Castrol full synthetic only every 5000 miles. I was thinking of switching to Red Line synthetic.

I have had a good car ruined due to unscrupulous garages breaking things on purpose to make more money when I was younger and dumber. I like to think I have learned from these experiences.

Are there any other shops in the North Atlanta area along the Georgia 400 corridor that are recommended?

Thank you in advance.

The toughest underpanel designed for BMW E-36 on the market! Crafted from 6061-T6 anodized aluminum, this panel will definitely be the last one you will ever need to buy. The underpanel is designed to fit directly into the original factory holes located on the bottom of the E-36 front spoiler. Because it attaches to the front spoiler, direct contact with a curb or a cone will result in equal movement between the spoiler and panel. Opposed to the plastic factory panels attached to the chassis, which makes them much more rigged and susceptible to braking. This panel is the ultimate in shielding road debris and the elements of inclimatic weather from corroding vital engine parts. Performance enthusiast will appreciate the flat panel's ability to accelerate airflow underneath the spoiler. This accelerated airflow creates a low-pressure area under the spoiler, most commonly known as "Downforce". Self-installation will take about an hour. One less component to worry about will last a lifetime.

This Panel Assembly fits all E36 models except "M3 Lightweight".

It's got a few nice little Dinan things done to it too, a chip of sorts, carbon fibre intake, and strut bar. The rear upper shock mounts had been replaced with solid Z3 ones or something like that. And it has a Supersprint exhaust that sounds brilliant. And apparently the carbon fibre front lip was a custom job off a Bimmerworld race car! The owner was perfect too, a real car enthusiast who meticulously looked after the car.

I'm really really happy with it. Here are some pictures from the advert:
