BMW Repair & Service in Marlborough, MA

BMW is what we do first and know best. Factory ISTA diagnostics, coding and programming, genuine and OE parts, and a team that builds BMWs for fun.

BMW service done properly

From an E90 328i or E92 M3 to an F30 commuter or a new G80 M3, we service and repair E, F and G chassis BMWs across the full lineup (2, 3, 4, 5, 7 and 8 Series, X models, Z4, i-models and M cars) plus MINI. Because we run ISTA, BMW's own diagnostic and programming software, we can follow the same guided test plans, register batteries, code retrofits and update module software the way the dealer does.

Common BMW problems we fix

  • Oil leaks: oil filter housing gasket, valve cover gasket and oil pan gasket on N20, N52, N54, N55 and B58 engines.
  • Cooling system: electric water pumps, thermostats, expansion tanks and plastic coolant pipes.
  • Charge pipe and boost leaks: the factory plastic charge pipe on N55 and B58 engines is a known failure point.
  • VANOS and timing: VANOS solenoids, N20/N26 timing chain guides, and N63 timing and valve-stem-seal work.
  • Carbon buildup: direct-injection intake valve cleaning (walnut blasting) for rough idle and misfires.
  • Electrical: battery registration, coding after retrofits, iDrive and module faults, parasitic drain.
  • Driveline: ZF 8-speed fluid service, transfer case (xDrive) service and actuator faults, differential service.
  • Suspension: thrust-arm and control-arm bushings, air springs on X5/X7 and 7 Series.

FAQ

BMW questions

Do you work on BMW M cars?

Yes. We service and modify M cars including the S55 (F80 M3, F82 M4, F87 M2 Competition) and S58 (G80 M3, G82 M4, G87 M2), from routine service to complete performance builds.

Can you code and program my BMW?

Yes. We use ISTA for programming and module software updates, and code retrofits and features (see Coding & Retrofits). If a repair needs a module programmed, we handle it in-house.

How often should my BMW's oil be changed?

BMW's Condition Based Service intervals can stretch past 10,000 miles. For turbocharged engines driven in New England weather (short trips, cold starts, or added power), we recommend every 5,000 to 7,500 miles.

Do you service MINI?

Yes. MINI shares BMW engines and electronics, and ISTA covers MINI as well.
