I'll look into all of the below. Looking forward to hopefully meeting you guys in the future when I get back to LA at the next F-chat event (on location on a film at the moment).

Byron (Bmyth) Member Username: Bmyth Post Number: 501 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Monday, March 31, 2003 - 5:45 pm:    1995 Avus Blue M3... We've had it since Dec'94... my sister drives it on a full-time basis. I've got the old benzo as a beater when my daily driver (348) is out of commission.

Ed/Tony are very good... but a bit far from LA. B.

Most of the guys I know take there cars there. If not them then the dealer would be a second choice. chris cummings (Entelechy) Junior Member Username: Entelechy Post Number: 171 Registered: 5-2001 Posted on Monday, March 31, 2003 - 10:06 am:    Rob, apologies again for the double-post; just trying to cover my bases - thanks :-) I'm close to purchasing a 99 BMW M3 and live in Los Angeles. The car I'm looking into is in great shape, but is ready for a lot of maintenance items and needs new brakes/rotors, and other sundry items. I'm just trying to investigate costs, but am also looking for a top certified mechanic I can trust in LA. Once I find someone I trust, I'm extremely loyal. I've been going to my last mechanic for five years, however for the M3 I'm looking for someone who's a specialist. Many thanks in advance, ~Chris
