Glad to see there are some bimmer fanatics in the area. My baby is an M535i that I bought in Germany while on a bicycle trip in '85. No it is not an M5 and it is not a 535i. It had 10K miles on it when I shipped it to CA and was (and still is) a head turner. Drove it in L.A. for 10 years and then brought it to MN. The only road she sees now is during the summer months, which is rough on all the seals, etc. My rear pinion seals are leaking and the car is ready for a full maintenance. I haven't had much success with the local service in Rochester. My car really needs an experienced mechanic that is comfortable working on a gray market car that runs slightly different specs that what the dealer mechanics are taught to do on an 535i. One of my friends in L.A. who is a BMW driving instructor is familar with Orr. Anyone familiar with Orr or have any suggestions on other specialists in the area? Thanks much! Rochelle
