That's good to hear, because that's what I ended up doing based on a co-worker's suggestion, and I ended up buying a car from them instead :)

1998 M3.

Metric Systems in Cambridge?

I'm looking at a 1999 E36 M3 tomorrow, which I'm hoping to buy.

A friend recommended this shop:

Metric Systems
286 Broadway
Cambridge, MA 02139
(617) 661-0442

It is wonderfully placed between where I live (Arlington) and work (Cambridge). But when I called they told me they don't do leak down tests (which I've been told is important on an E36 M3 due to the possibility of having been horribly shifted) or compression tests. Pre-purchase inspection is $70.

Do I need to find a different shop, or will they make me happy without a leak down test? Recommendations?
