        A shop in the bay will change a ton for that work ~ 2-3k.
        If you are handy you can do it yourself at a place like pit row - a place you can work on your car with their tools.
        Much wow
        I hate 4 doors

            I’ve taken my e30 to Bimmers in San Carlos. It was $$$. I was hoping someone would chime in on this thread with a cheaper shop :(.

            I’ve done all the work you describe myself. It’s a fair amount of work!

            At some point I need to fix some of the oil leaks, but waiting till I need a clutch for that. I really want to pay someone to do those jobs!
