I might be shuffling cars. Anyone here I interested in my E30?

Has anyone been to the Redding/Redwood California area? I have 9 days and am looking for a mountain biking trip.

Supposed to be epic riding out there.

I'm going to check out those shops once I get settled, but I'm in for the meet on Saturday, as long as we make it to Parker before then. We're just outside Illinois now, so hopefully I'll be there in time. Thanks for all the trail advise, also do any of you rock climb? And know any decent Craig's not to far from Parker? It would have to be top rope, since my Rack is in NYC, didn't wanna chance that on the plane ride home...

I climb a lot but there isn't a ton of top roping in CO. It's mostly trad and sport. Check out http://www.mountainproject.com/v/colorado/105708956 for some good crags.

Anyone have late model TDI wagon opinions / experience?

My friend has one. 9 recalls and issues with the Nav. Engine/car is great though, 44mpg combined.

Does anyone have the tools for replacing the timing belt (M20) that would let me borrow them in the semi near future? What "specialty" tools are there?

[Bimmerman325i]

Do you have the bentley manual? you don't need anything beyond normal hand tools if I remember right

[lambo]

a 32mm bike wrench comes in handy for the fan. Besides that a normal toolkit will be fine.

[iamsam]

you don't even need a bentley manual. Just unbolt stuff, remove t-belt, install new t-belt. Make sure the cam doesn't move. If it does, there is an easy alignment tick on the head. It probably won't move though.

but yeah any old bike shop will have a flat profile wrench around 32mm.

wish I could still park the M5 in the garage!

Does anyone know of a place where I can get R12 drained out of my A/C system? If the EPA is so concerned with this shit, it shouldn't be this difficult to find a place to drain it...
