- There are a bunch of great places to go for service. Shade Tree is located between Raleigh/Durham and I've heard great things about them. I take my E36 M3 to Dave Davis located in South Raleigh - he specializes in race prep. of M cars as well as Corvettes.
- For a used M3, you might want to give Holland Hale a call at the Atlantic Auto Exchange in Durham - he's the one who recommended Dave Davis as my mechanic.
- If you're into track days, Virginia International Raceway is only an hour north of Durham and it's a fantastic track.
