Need someone/indy in southbay santa clara/san jose
Hi fellas,
I got a 07 335i recently witha 100k miles on it. I am a real beginner but I really want to get my hands dirty soon. I would really like someone to look at my vehicle and provide basic suggestions on anything that has to be done soon/later I was thinking I'd do my first oil change at an indy who could then help me run down a few things. That way we both walk out happy. Some people might know that I am going to attempt to clean the intake valves pretty soon. I also need suggestions on where to start getting tools for working on it. Amazon/Ebay/ Local stores/ stealership? Cheers ! |

I know one guy very well that has not failed me and is a BMW master mechanic. Moreover, he has a 100% 5-star rating on Yelp. Only thing is, you have to go to Burlingame. And give him a call in advance as he's always busy. Nonetheless, he will change your oil for a good price and check out if there are other things that may be wrong with your ride. His name is George, honest guy. Yelp site: http://www.yelp.com/biz/high-tech-au...ice-burlingame |

This car isn't THAT difficult to review and check out... I suggest finding someone who has wrenched on an N54 for multiple years and take them to pit row DIY shop in Santa Clara to check out your car and change the oil. I've actually done this for a few new members before.
I will be travelling for work over the next two weeks but could possible meet up and do this early November for you |

X2 what spxxx said. I'd be willing to loan out the tools and help up to the point where the walnuts come out.
I'm allergic to nuts and I was cheap/stupid enough to do it myself and had the worst allergic reaction ever (although my valves are very thankful). Shoot me a PM if you want to go to the tech shop or you need local help wrenching; it's not too bad once you dig into it. |

Thought it'd might be worth it to get it done by a professional before I start digging under the hood myself. It'll give me a nice insight too :P
