Installation Help - Boston Area

Hi Everyone,

Now 1er owner here in Boston and I was wondering if any members ever get together for installs. Back when I was active with the NASIOC forum I worked with some members for basic installs due to my lack of space/time these days. Anyone in the area with a garage full of tools willing to lend some help? Ill supply beer, food...even cash, ha!

Thanks everyone,
J

Im also coming from the NASIOC community and would love to get some semi-regular enthusiast meets together, similar to some of the local Subie meets. I dont have a ton of tools or a lift or anything, but am always down to talk cars and hold a beer and point at things under a hood on a nice weekend day.

I have a thread going in E90 post about this and got a ton of good feedback. Might as well make a BMW generic meet. Maybe monthly/Bi-weekly?

I was thinking closer to spring time, once the days get to be a little longer and we would rather stand around outside our cars socializing rather than in them with heated seats...

Does anyone know a non-dealership garage that could install the BMW PE for me? Having a good installer is the only thing stopping me from some larger upgrades.

Thanks!

Bimmer72 (His name is "I") on here rents lifts out in Allston. Really awesome opportunity for those that need a lift. Shoot him a PM and he can get you on a lift. I know he will do installs of most parts also for a good price. He can do paint work. His 335i is pretty sweet also!

Thanks everyone! No ramps as I rarely needed them or my Subie, but should I pick them up I'll reach out for some install help. The lift idea sounds awesome if we could get a few people in on the same day for beers/installs.
