South Bay Area DIYers

Hi Everyone,

I just moved from Los Angeles to Mountain View. I loved working on my car there but unfortunately the new apartment I moved in won't allow me to work on my car.

So I wanted to take this opportunity to make friends and seek out other DIYers on the E90 N52 around me who would allow me share their work space and teach me a thing or two as well.

I have my own place in Sunnyvale with a garage so let me know if you want to meet up or need help.

I've been hoping for the same. I bought this 335i, but I'd like to save some money on costs and do most of the work on my own if possible. I'd have no problem chipping in for food or beer in exchange for time and access for their garage and drive way.

Hello fellows,
I have 2007 bmw 335i convertible E93. It was manufactured in 2/2007. I have done my coding to disable tpms but I can’t find rdc confirmed module location. I have found one YouTube video suggesting it is located behind driver side rear passenger seat and partition. Would you by any chance have any solid info or shop manual links that would confirm it’s location and instructions how to get to it to unplug it? All references suggest that coding alone on iDrive model will not work unless physical rdc module is disconnected.
Thank you in advance

Sweet. I just got an apartment in Mountain View where the 85 and 237 meet. How's your weekend of 20/21 looking?

Hi Guys. Do you mind me tag along? I am in Santa Clara. I got e92 M3 and recently looking into replacing the battery and get it coded+registered correctly. Plus to find out why my front right side suspension is half inch lower than left.
