I am the highly satisfied new owner of a 2002 325 XIT (Sportwagon) with 58,000 miles. The car is in great shape but needs an Alpine CDA-9883 with iPod installed. Would welcome any recommendations for a good audio installation.

I also want to find a good mechanic who can take care of the car generally b/c I know nothing about car engines but I'd rather not spend a fortune at the BMW dealership. Anyone know any good, reliable, BMW mechanic in the lower Westchester, CT / upper Bronx area?

Does anyone have any solid recommendations for me? Would appreciate any tips or suggestions.

try the regional forums, might have better luck

I'm in White Plains, and could probably help. If not, Audio Visions in white plains does GREAT work.
