<E28> 535i tuned up and not hesitating anymore..



Well,

Back from the wrench.. I got the valves adjusted, plugs changed, and oil
changed.  That is what I was expecting when I got there to pick the car up,
and then was told that I needed a new cap and rotor.  I was shown my old
one, and it was pooched.  Totally corroded contacts, and the rotor was
screwed as well.  I thought,, OK, no big deal.. then I was told the price
for the damn thing.. $200.00 and that is aftermarket (in CDN dollars).  I
wasnt expecting that!! Holy ^%&*$#.. Well the car runs a lot better, and I
assume the gas mileage will be a lot better as well.  Is this the standard
price for one of these? Why so much?

Anyway,  now the car runs better, but my pocket is light, and I have to go
back and pay my friend more money, since I didnt have enough to clear the
bill on the spot..   He was nice enough to take the car home though..

Oh, and I also found out I need a new Catalytic Converter.... I love BMW;s
but sometimes I wish the parts were on par with American Cars.. Especially
today..

Cheers'
