Interesting thread title.

I was about to say, I pay enough taxes in MD, New Jersey is on it's own.

i live in West Orange (Essex County). i go to Helix in Philly, PA for everything. only about 1-1.5 hours away and great ride down the turnpike. Eric is great guy with very reasonable shop rates, he even has some flat rates for certain installs. try giving TyrolSport in Queens, NY a call too. Eric @ Helix speaks very highly of them too and Eric sells their caliper bushings, so they are somewhat affiliated.

If you're looking for a specialized Mini shop, Helix is not too far. And a good excuse for a drive.

For regular maintenance, you might want to find a local shop that does work on BMWs. I've done that for oil changes.
