Thanks, I'll check them out!

Does anyone have a shop they trust with corner balancing and rear alignment with the AKG camber and tow adjusting bolts?

When I looked that up it took me to Socal? I am looking for something in the bay area :)

Apologies 36brua, they are in So Cal.
Eye glasses on now.

Oceanside Motor Sports has corner balancing equipment and can properly assist with anything e30.

Anyone here have experience getting AC to work on an M5x/S5x motor in their e30? This is the last part I'm freaked out by, but want to complete with the swap.

annnnnnnd, things didn't work out. The u-joints on my driveshaft are shot (1989 325i Auto).

Does anyone have a local shop they trust to rebuild, or who would I order from online?

We are spending next weekend in Leavenworth. The beautiful days are really beautiful. But it's been raining a great deal of the time.

You moved up about the same time I did when I left CA. I joked that if I didnt commit suicide by summer, Id be fine. I didnt, and Im sure you wont lol

Yea, you missed the bike riding season. End of June/ Beginning of July (typically July 5th lol) begins the two months of heaven, then September brings back the gray.

Theres definitely a lot of Pros if you can use the weather to your benefit. Glad you guys found something you're happy with. Huge E30 scene up there too, but you already knew that. Octoberfest begins soon so plan to head to Leavenworth if you havent already... I miss that place at times but 100% of my family that lives in America also lives in California so living up there became harder and harder.

Thanks Simon,
It has been an interesting change. the pros and cons list is HUGE. I had never guessed it would be such a change but the not state income tax saves us >20k/yr... I could buy a M3 and crash it every 2 years and still be ahead of living in CA. No smog but no lane splitting. my job is really cool but it is hard. The weather is by far the drawback. It's rainy enough to not be safe to motorcycle every day which sucks.
We pay less per month to live in a 50% bigger place on the lake.

E46s are such a good deal now.

Cabriolet Best Wishes, you'll love the PNW. It was hard for me to move back to CA after being up there for ~7 years. I was supposed to be there for about 4, nearly doubled that without even noticing. Good times indeed.
