Andy, I've volunteered at the past three DIY days since moving to the area from Michigan. If you could use a hand again, I'll gladly fill my trunk with tools and head over. I'll also send you a PM.

I wouldn't mind a hand on my E39 M5. I'm aiming to do all fluids except for coolant(already done two months ago).

No problem. Fluids are pretty straightforward. Keep in mind that Andy will have final say about with whom I work. I usually help the folks with zero experience, and then lend a hand with a couple others at the same time. It's good that you're keeping that motor healthy. I remember seeing it on a stand at the Detroit Auto Show it's first year -- the exhaust headers are glorious bundles of snakes.

Is this still open for walk ups? I'd like to do some fluid changes (oil,tranny, brake) and possibly a spring perch replacement (aftermarket susp).

Although I only finished 3 out of 5 things I wanted to do due to lack of time, I appreciate being able to join last minute. More importantly, the help and oversight provided by the great staff at At Speed Motorsports was invaluable, thank you! I would highly recommend them to anyone looking for some work to be done on their car.

I'd also like to thank the three gentlemen(*) who assisted me in various capacities while performing my maintenance. (*=silver E39 M5 driver, green Z4 roadster driver and the LSB E46M3 driver).

What a great event. Thanks to all who helped me get to know my car as it left the nest of 4 year/50K BMW support. Kudos to the organizers, the folks from AT Speed and the fellow members who helped me wrench away.

It was great to meet you, Chris. Don't forget to send those pictures along!
