Want To Find: Good BMW shop in PDX area.

[Wishno87]

I have a couple more things to check on my project E30 before I take it somewhere to get it figured out. Its a NVM50 in a 90 E30 and I cant get it to crank. Any BMW shops in the area brave enough to take it? Im pretty tired of the "I didn't build it so I don't know what to do with it" excuse.

I know a guy who has done quite a few M30 swaps and a few 24v swaps. PM mid you want his number.

You'll be hard pressed to find a better shop than this.

That guy is half a mile from me...on the same street even. Interesting.

Have you tried Joe Funk?

[10Toes]

Did you charge the battery?

he's been out of the business for years...

Try Pacific Motorsports. They're a bit more expensive but they have lots of experience with 24V e30s and Mark is a stand-up guy.

Or try Ryan at Dynasport..

I might try them but they weren't even brave enough to install my mono wiper. I was surprised because I was willing to pay for it but he said "i'll pass" They did get my silver car up and running though.

Phill: Yes we should do a little gandering first.

The battery is charged but I think the alarm is still doing something to it even though I took out as much of it as I could find.

Agree, Chris Rohm does a great job. I've worked with every BMW shop in town and he is by far the best mechanic and the most honest.

[ejnight]

are saying it will not turn over?

[e30austin]

It cranks, but doesn't fire, IIRC.

[Wishno87]

No crank either. When I took out the alarm it had a ignition kill attached to the ignition switch and I took that out but still nothing. Im going to try another ignition switch then Im sort of out of ideas other than just checking the starter wires again.
