I recently picked up a '96 318i and I am looking for a good place in or around Duluth to do some basic maintenace. I am little gun-shy getting into it myself without all the right gear.

Welcome to BFC! Do a search on the forum's search function, there was a guy about a month ago asking about shops to take his BMW to for maintenace around Duluth. I think somebody came up with a shop that does German cars, or maybe it was all European cars. Good luck!

Thanks, I think I found the place. Foriegn Affairs, in case it comes up again.
I've decided to take on most of it myself (neighbors have heated space and tools), but if anyone knows exactly what Torx/and or Allen sizes I need to change belts it would be greatly appreciated.

Thats the place, I couldn't remember the name.

Yup Jeff is the owner he is very limited on what he can do on those cars but for the most part he is the only option up there. You should need a T50 to take the belts off
