    Knoxville mechanics

    Hi,
    I am looking for a mechanics in Knoxville who knows BMW, but don't charge the "BMW tax". It is to take great care of a 1995, 525i. I have no knowledge of mechanics, so things to do can be simple.

    Best regards,

    I'm heading out of town for this week...but I'd be happy to help you check this out when I get back. It's really hard to tell from the pics.

    I drove a 95 525i for 7 years. To say I know my way around them is an understatement-

    Mine had an oil leak that started slow and sped up really quick, which wound up being the front timing cover seal. Took a couple hours to change.

    PM me if you want to try to tackle this yourself-

    Knoxville Performance and Dyno also does quit a bit of work on BMW's. I am in the market for an e30 and have been by there several times and have seen everything from spec cars to turbo e30's. They also custom built an air to water for a supercharged e36.

    My friend Bentley and I do everything to my 95 318i ourselves, except for checking/clearing SRS codes; for that I called around and European Motor Werks on Sutherland had the best deal around; half the price of Gillespie the first time, and even cheaper the second. Just my .02

    Do you still do mechanic work? I have an 02 530i and think something is wrong with the torque converter. Im getting the SES light with the code torque converter clutch too much slip. Im in Knoxville, TN
