Hi Folks,

I just wanted to post this for posterity. I've found a guy that is good at fixing deep scratches and repainting. Nice guy based out of Ferrari of Washington in Sterling, VA. But he...

As a follow up, I've been going to Road Race Technologies in Dulles for about a year now. They are a racing shop and do good work. There is also Curry's Auto service that does general repairs. ...

I use Denso Iridium. And those prices at sparkplugs.com kinda suck. Use rockauto.com if you're doing online. If I was a super cheapy, I'd use NGK.

For plug and play, they are worth it. I bought them for my car. BMW has a nack for picking wierd speaker offset sizes. In my model car, the mid-range speakers can only be found there or through...

BMW Excluservice changed management. They now do crap work. I would recommend Dan Martin's Auto in Maryland as well. Sadly, I live in VA now so I can't go there anymore. I'm checking out RRT in...

Well, as far as advertising to people that would pay you, I read the local area capital chapter newsletters. Very little investment in that. Word of mouth only works from a few people for me,...

Great work they did. I couldn't go this round, but I'll sign up for the next meet, cash in hand.

I've never heard of them. But then I'm 30 miles from frederick.

What is the address/time/date of where we should meet? I can't find Dent Guys in this area. That phone seems to be a cell, and it's a little late to call atm.

For independent shops in maryland, I'd go with bmwexcluservice or dan martin's auto. As far as the warranty, I'm not sure.

They do an excellent job. Just did their $125.00 deal and they cleaned the engine, leather, carpets, washed and waxed, tires. Everything. It's a...

Mobile 1 0w-40, Red Line 5w-40, Amsoil 5w-40 are all great synthetics for bmw's. Mobil 1 is the easiest to get and it does the job right. The lower the W number the better. Less friction at...

For older BMW's in this area I would recommend Dan Martin's.

He'll pick you up from, or drop you off to the Shady Grove metro redline if you need a lift. ...

Wouldn't it be cheaper to install a larger engine? And yes, I believe I'll go fishing now.

bavauto.com

It's just the door lock actuator. It dies after a few years. It's 75 bucks or so.

bmaparts.com or bavauto.com. And yes, also lube it with graphite powder. Silicone works as well.

I am in Montgomery country as well. The two shops I would recommend are Dan Martin's auto and BMW Excluservice.

I would recommend both of the Martin's, no relation. But I caution you to not even if your life depended on it, go to German Autoworks. He is hostile towards aftermarket parts, and will overcharge...
