I'd recommend Ron Ager at NW European. He has a ton of E30 experience including having owned his own ix's. I don't know if he still has his red ix or not, but he's going to be the only mechanic in the area with intimate knowledge of the ix. Tell him Chris Seigman sent you, if he doesn't remember me he will remember my silver 4 door 325ix. :)
whereat in Bellingham are you?
