hi, just got my first bmw, a 93 525i touring, from ebay. at least it has no rust, got it down south. i need rec's on repair shops anywhere between new haven ct and white plains ny. especially would like to find someone who will do an oil change, diagnose check engine and give an honest evaluation of what the car needs.
long time mercedes owner, decided to try something different. used to use an excellent shop in mass called hatch and sons in wayland. prefer the thorough work of an independent, but maybe bmw dealers are better than mercedes in this regard??????
car drives nicely, esp for 155k. 1800 mile trip with only check engine light constantly on and off (on decel, off with brisk accel), and some brief loss of power every 250 miles or so for a second (like it chokes and recovers). (car was cheapish)
has unusable power seat back and headrest, but front to rear is ok, passenger seat fine. needs stereo, will get aftermarket likely.
thanks for any replies and so on.
