+1 Sharkwerks. Don't forget to ask for the free hat. I had to remind Alex after I got my tune.

I already tried the search and couldn't find what I was looking for.

thanks,

I assume your looking for a BMW tuner correct? If so Sharkwerks I don't believe does BMW. With the Dinan BMW why wouldn't you just take it to Dinan in Mountain View they are the best IMHO when it comes to BMW I always took my M3 there.

You need to visit both shops face to face to make a final decision.

Both owners are great guys, and welcome visitors at the shop......very much a open door policy.

I feel very lucky to have both located in the Bay Area.
I am not so sure I would go to Scargoracing after all the drama CJV has been through with these guys! I would would stick with Sharkwerks.

Craig, I already take my M3 to Edge Motorworks in Dublin. I love those guys. They have done me right every time I have been there.

I am looking for Porsche tuners as I am in the market for a 996tt right now. Hoping to pull the trigger soon.

I would post my M3 for sale on this forum but I am not anywhere near 100 posts yet.

thanks,
Dave

Dave - I just wanted to make sure you knew they didn't work on BMW's! So if you want to trick out a 996tt then you have to go to Sharkwerks Alex and James have the 996tt worked out. I am sure Alex would be more then glad to take you for a spin in the shop 996tt to get a feel for there work.

Check out the tuning threads on 6speed and look at the drama CJV has been through with scargo I would avoid them on his experience alone!
