    Bought a BMW 850i - Who's the best mechanics you guys recommend in Los Angeles area?

    Hi:

    I juts bought a 1991 850i with 23k miles on it. I had to buy it sight unseen due to location issues, and want to make sure I have everything looked over to avoid any critical issues. Do you guys have anyone you suggest is one of the better mechanics and repair spots for a BMW 850i in the Los Angeles area?

    Much appreciated.
