I wasnt sure where to post this so forgive me if its in the wrong place.
I'm looking for some one to replace chain guides / vanos etc on my 2001 740i.
Local BMW dealer said he does not have anyone who knows how to do it.
I do know how to do it but do not have the facilities or inclination to do it.
I'm actually located in Harleysville PA which is 40 miles NW of Philly.
Thanks, mike

The BMW dealer has probably learned the hard way that presenting a bill for several thousand dollars to a fellow owning a two thousand dollar car doesn't often end well. I suspect this is just another way of declining a job they foresee as "troublesome".Originally Posted by WadiM3
Dealerships aren't the place for old cars anyway, high price, the mechanics aren't usually too familiar with the oldies and none of them want some greasy old car to work on when there are a line of near new ones needing repairs they can book time on without getting rust in their eyes.
Local BMW club is probably a good resource as would be the E38 sub-forum here. https://www.bimmerforums.com/forum/f...1995-2001-(E38)
