Hi,
Im Andrew, im 17 and I just bought my first car which is an e28. To be more exact it is a 1985 535i, white with tan leather interior, with about 130,000 miles. Ive had it now for about 3 weeks or there about. A few days ago it just stalled at a light, now, i thought, well maybe i just left it in gear and wasnt thinking about it, but i hadnt. Then later that day, i was stopped somewhere else and it did the same thing, also the back rear window broke that day. Anyways, i ended up just taking it back to the dealer i bought it at and they fixed it, it was a faulty fuel pressure regulator. Now, just to give you some back ground, right now my dad and i are restoring a 1960 Austin Healey (not like concourse, but hes had it stored since the 80's and i forced him to take it out so we can work on it) so i have some, although limited, ability with working on cars. I guess my question is, how difficult are these cars to work on. Because, i was charged 330, and 30 of that was for parts and i feel like i would have been able to do the repair. But beside all of that, im loving driving it around all the time, its a blast. Thanks, Andrew
