what do u want done? cams are a bitch on those heads. as the cams ride in a housing which is held into the head via the cam caps. you basically have to rip the frount of the motor apart—timing chains and all- to get at the cams. i know i wouldn’t want to fuck w/ it unless it was my own car— so unless there is a bmw only shop in the area, your gonna be fucked w/ going to the dealer, or driving outside of the city. Where i work at in the daytime (maroney’s foreign auto), our head mechanic could do it no problem—but we do call him the “Wizard” for a reason~ as he knows his shit. May be worth a call to get a quote. but i know we are abcked up w/ work as is, so may eb a week or 2 before u can get in. ---

Foreign Traffic on Rt 8 in Hampton. They used to work on my dad’s 3-series convertible, and they work on my step-mom’s VW Cabrio… my friend got a new VR6 installed there a month ago… Good, fast work. ---
