…without shelling out enough to almost buy another one. Friend of mine would like to take it to a dealer, but I’m trying to explain to him that you could get the work done for cheaper. Any suggestions? ---

I’d say Wayne but he usually won’t touch BMW’s. He may work on that though. If not Wayne, I know Adam H is a hoss on anything German. ---

I heart my BMWs. Do a lot of work for a few M owners on here. ---

Thanks for the suggestions guys- I’ll probably hit up Wayne and see if he can; I’ve got some tires changes I’ve gotta do soon anyway. :tbu ---

A/C systems are a bit more than nuts and bolts though. Might need a vacuum pump, freon and a gauge set. ---

/\ and thats even if the comp and crap kicks on and off as it should. That M6 I would assume has more electrical and computer shit going on that the entire 5th floor of the IT department I work at! lol Dude owns a $40K+ used car which once was what $100K a few years ago… if you want to be a baller, better be ready to pay top dollar for repairs and maintenance. ---

M cars are just expensive when/if they fail. I still loved mine, but you definitely can’t expect to ball on a budget with them. All of my BMW customers know all about the costs both expected and unexpected, especially the M guys/gals. ---

Actually, I spoke with DannyboyUpstate- he has most needed for the diagnosis, evac and recharge- hopefully that’s all that’s needed.
