Not Active Autowerke. There is a BMW parts supply shop in Ft. Lauderdale. I95 to Sunrise Blvd east 1 block past Footlocker, turn right (south). 2 blocks down on the right. I think its spelled Autoworks. contact number 954-467-1491. Owners name is Sam. He and his son and nephews run the place. I first went there in 1996. Sam bought the place maybe 12 years ago.

He used to buy BMW cars and part them out. He does do some wrenching. He may still have some hard to find used parts. Now he does mostly oem. Better prices then the dealer.

Check him out................................ Cheers..........................G.

Introducing myself

Hello All-

I am writing this post to introduce myself to the Palm Beach County E30 owners. I recently (three weeks ago) purchased my first E30. Its an Alpine White 87 E30 convertible 5 speed. I am the 4th owner and the car had over 200k miles on the (broken) odometer when I went to check it out. I drove it 3 hours from Cape Coral to West Palm with the A/C on at around 60-70mph. The body is near mint considering its mileage and age. It currently has tan cloth interior and I am using duplicolor vinyl and fabric paint to convert it to black. Although the car had extensive maintenance receipts I could not find any records regarding the timing belt so I am looking to replace that soon. If anyone here has done it before and can give me a hand I would really appreciate it. I live near Okeechobee/Jog road for reference. Look forward to meeting some of you...



After washing, claybar, polish, and wax:

Welcome home. You can always find local help on this forum. West Palm Beach or Miami thread. Quick note. If you are changing the belt yourself, check the DIY section for direction and tools needed. Might as well change the tensioner, water pump and do a valve adjustment while you are there. If you need reference to a local shop, just ask. Everybody has someone they recommend.

E30's are like beautiful women. You gotta stay on top of em. ............... Cheers.

Thanks G,

I do plan on doing it myself because I purchased this car to learn from. I've done brakes and suspension work before but never a timing belt change. I did skim through some of the write-ups about changing the belt and downloaded the various service repair books for the E30.

Where do you live? Do the Palm Beach E30 owners get together once a month? I'd like to join once I get the timing belt changed.

[g.ruff561]

Come by the BMWCCA meet at John Prince park this Sunday. There are about 10 of us locally who keep in touch by phone, text and email. We share info about parts for sale and whenever a car shows up in the local junk yards.

You can HMU anytime. If I cant answer your question, I can point you in the right direction.

See you there.................... G is for Gary....... Cheers...............

Wow, look at all of those nice, shiny cars.
Wish I had been there to stink up the joint
Last laugh would be mine though if anyone thought to pick on the ugly car :devil:
