Little Car Shop, IIRC.
Slow323Ci recommends Concours, a BMW dealership.

I'll try to get some recommendations in the next day or so.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I believe the car has been fully maintained at Little Car Shop.

I think I have decided to take it to my local mechanic though.

I would not recommend Concours for service or inspection of an E30.

For E30, first choice would be Little Car Shop, second choice would be Alpine Import Specialists.

If car was maintained at Little Car Shop, just give them a call and ask about the car.

the guys at little car shop will definitely tell you if the car is in good shape or not. They should be pretty easy to read and for the most part I think they are straight shooters. I take 3 e30's there whenever I need service

I know the owner of Little Car Shop personally, and he knows his stuff. I would highly recommend that shop, as well as the sister shop in Madison. Foreign Car Specialists.

He drives an E36 325i as his daily. (He's pretty quick around Road America with that thing as well :D. I got a ride with him at the last CCA Oktoberfast)

So did you keep the S2k?

No, the s2000 is gone. A combination of not wanting to make monthly payments on a car, and needing a back seat for our first kid meant it had to be sold.
