Motorwerks only does it by hand. I would prefer to not pay $700 that the dealers are quoting me.

If you find one please PM me!

What are your current 18" tires? What condition are they in? 19" wheels look better IMO but 18" wheels are more practical with the roads around here. All comes down to budget and personal preference.

Can you recommend a torque wrench? There's a lot of options out there. I don't have one and I was thinking about buying a digital one.

Bbacho2002 · 02-16-2014, 02:45 PM

No, but I am getting the BMS one. Worth the investment.

I just bought the equipment to do my oil with GC going on sale recently on Amazon. I had the equipment to do my plugs too, but I was like Wait.. Too much money right now.

Plus still need a recommendation on a good torque wrench.

I have one very similar to this: Craftsman

Have had it for many years with zero issues. Useful not only for the car but also yard equipment, etc.

Just an FYI to you guys. Steve's European Automotive is going through training on walnut blasting. I was told they will be offering it in the next 2 months. They haven't finalized pricing but assured me they will be much cheaper than bmw.
