shop for older bimmer's in San Fran

Christian,
I have no experience with them personally, but they are a member of the 
International Association of Independent BMW service professionals.  I have 
had very good experiences with several other shops in their organization (I 
work for one).  As a general rule, you're usually better off with an 
independant BMW shop than a dealership if there is one in your area.  
Especially for the older cars.
Check out Vanguard Motors, Gary Grande, 350 10th St, San Francisco, CA 94103, 
(415) 255-8450, <A HREF="mailto:[email protected]";>[email protected]</A>.
Or go to iaibmwsp.org to see the complete list of shops.
Good luck,
Jake
