Need advice: Good independent shop for a pre-purchase inspection?

QuattroMechanicish38Community StarterJun 15, 20262025 BMW M3 Competition xDrivePhiladelphia
2025 BMW M3 Competition xDrive, about 48,000 miles. Looking at a used car locally and want a genuinely independent PPI, preferably someone familiar with this brand. What do you ask the shop to include besides a basic scan and lift inspection? I'd rather test this logically than start replacing parts.

Compare apples to apples or you'll get spun. GAP, paint, and nitrogen are optional until you run the 2025 BMW M3 numbers without them. I'd rather lose the car than buy a foggy deal. This is from a 2025 BMW M3 in Philadelphia with 48,000 miles. Stop there until you know. Not trying to scare you — just skip the expensive first guess. Might be overthinking it, but I'd rather overthink than overspend.
