No problem Vic. If you decide to use them for anything, please let me know how it goes and any thoughts you may have about their performance. I am interested in hearing another person's opinion of...

Oh and FYI - I had the thrust bushings installed by another Indy shop that does NOT specialize in BMWs. I had no choice though as they needed done NOW. The car was at the incredibly dangerous stage...

OK everyone, I know this thread is a few months old but since I last posted I have done some homework and have actually had the car worked on.

Opequon Automotive LTD did a BMW inspection and oil...

Hello Everyone,

So I am a real dummy. I was backing out of my garage, had a friend in the car so was distracted, forgot his Subaru was in the driveway and backed right into his car. Naturally...

Wow jhm5, I'm very sorry I didn't see your reply before this. Thank you so very much! I did manage to get them done in time. The things were quite critical. The one side almost just came off in the...

Hi Everyone,

BMW of Rockville has informed me that my thrust bushings are leaking. Now I never heard of a bushing leaking before so I did some research. It appears that BMW in their infinite...

Raine - it doesn't have to be a BMW only shop/mechanic. It just has to be a mechanic/shop who has knowledge/has worked on BMWs and has the special tools and expertise to know how to use them. I need...

I recently moved to Martinsburg, WV and am looking for a certified BMW mechanic/shop in the area. Does anyone have any recommendations?

I would really appreciate any information you can provide.

Are we parking at McDonald's again at 6 to hang out and then moving to BWW at 7 like we did before?

Doggone it! We have a previously scheduled engagement that day or we would be there for sure!

Bummer. Well, maybe next time.

It's hard to say what set the local man off that day. I'm not sure any one of us could possibly speak accurately to what the real problem was that got under his skin. Maybe the locals were bored? I...

I honestly don't remember them having much to say at all. They arrived and one of them talked to the locals and one of them talked to our group - I guess just getting both sides of the story. I know...

Yep - we were in them thar woods all right. That's why a few of us were referring to the whole thing as Occupy BFE - because we WERE in BFE!! :icon_lol:

While I didn't mean it to be a challenge you can definitely take it that way if you so choose :wink:

On the other hand - you should definitely get some pie!

As an addendum to my previous post -...

According to what I heard from the members who walked up to where the ruckus was taking place to deal with the situation, the local people claimed the first group of cars were driving very...

Well, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe the people in the first group of cars had either driven this route before or were at least familiar with the roads so they were not/did not get...

Yes, an adventure. That's what I have been calling it when I tell people about it.

Indeed it was the actions of the first group of cars that caused the ruckus with the locals, but since I was in that second group that was detained by the very upset locals, I really cannot comment...

No joke. It was incredible. A few of us have started calling the debacle "Occupy BFE" as it was reminiscent of the occupy movement - only forced and not about wall street.
