for those who have never been to Convenience Car Care, its an outstanding facility. Their staff is top notch and they cater towards the average joe up to the racing crowd. They've saved me a lot of $$ by showing me things I can easily do myself

i'm thinknig bout getting my oil change done. what do you guys think? or should i just wait till my service at 15k at the dealership (that should be the next one i'm assuming?)

oil change was done at 6k, and it now has llil less than 11k, any thoughts?

i used to always do oil change around 3k miles in past cars.. or 5-6k when i used synthetic, but i'm confused with the BMWs. dealership said no need until the car tells you need it but i still dont feel confortable enough with the car running on sale oil for over 10k miles.

oh and what kidna oil u guys use for ur own oil change? do you get it from BMW or aftermarket synthetic.

i would DIY now (and not reset the indicator) and then let the dealer change the oil again when its time to bring it in for service. i get the oil change kit from Tischer, but dont remember what type of oil. its whatever the manual recommends

[FrankoQ]

I think I'll go just to watch Paul with a wrench in his hand.

[pseto]

its $15 to signup. coilovers could be a 4 hr job if you had 2 people who know what they're doing. not sure about the CV, best thing to do there is to call over there and talk to them. also familiarize and bring a copy of someone's DIY

[pseto]

registration opens today, so signup ASAP

[pseto]

still some spots available, get in while you can

Paul,
What are you doing with your brakes?
Please remember to pump your brakes after you work on your brakes before driving. After changin pads, etc, you won't have any brake pressure built up to use your brakes properly. Very important!

yep, i've watched a few brake jobs before and will take the car out for a test drive afterwards. i've learned quite a bit the past few years at DIYs, so i'm becoming a lot more confident that i can actually do a few things
