so I brought my 325ix to a bmw shop to get a full inspection

[That Nice Guy Beck!]

car was tip top from top to bottom, the mechanic was surprised at what a good deal I got on the car, although the right control arm needed to be changed cost me ($500) with parts and labor, and my horn does not work.

also I have a wall plug in my grill he told me it was to warm the earl in the winter, never heard of that.

cant wait for the winter to arrive so I can try this little thing in the snow!

oh one more thing I finally opened teh trunk it has all teh tools! and the trunk is massive wow

Control arms do wear out, and if you don't have the tools to do it yourself it's not bad to have a shop do it.

Horn is probably a fuse or loose wire or something, they don't get used enough to wear out really.

Block heaters can be great if you live in a place that gets very cold, like the upper midwest or upper northeast.

Congrats on your purchase! :up:

Can't be more than 30 minutes, it's easily accessible. Right underneath and behind the headlights.

I wish I had a block heater for when I knew it was gonna be one of those -20 nights.

500 to change a control arm.... uhhhh thats way to much

Yes but aren't new ones like $300? Ix's are expensive, esp if you do it right and get new parts and pay people to do it for you.

[e30lov]

500$ for a control arm and 350 for a horn? Sorry man you got shafted...

[rede30]

350 for a horn is shafted, I agree there. I still think CA is is about right.

[delatlanta1281]

The CA seems right, you could probably get it don a wee bit cheaper. Are you sure he didn't mean 3.50 for the horn???? No horn costs 350 to replace. Except maybe a horn on a big ass boat.
BRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP
Sorry, had to do it.

[That Nice Guy Beck!]

the control arm cost 320, the labor 2 hours, its the right price.

as for the horn some spring is broken and yes with labor i was told 350
