Bro,

I think your question may be a little too technical for him. We invite him to come to our gathering next Sat and help him out. What do you think?

Re: Newbie

in all honesty, if he has the time to drive his car down for a meetup to see if u guys can identify his problem and then drive it down to the workshop to solve it, he might as well just skip the first step altogether and head down to the nearest workshop =P

best bet imo if u r unsure about what's wrong with ur car is just to send it down to one of our trusted site sponsors! even if turns out that there's nothing wrong with ur car at least u get peace of mind.

Point taken. In my haste to help him solve his problem, I neglect the obvious.

Seems like being too Kay poh liao

no lah bro, we all know u very helpful one =P and i think maybe the TS' concern is that if he goes to a random workshop not knowing what is precisely wrong with the car, he might get treated like a carrot. that's why i recommend going only to our site sponsors... very positive feedback from bros on the forums.

Good point, But still have to check with at least a couple of workshops to get quotes.

Also, since the ride-in-question is an E36, can some very experienced e36 owners reading this thread also offer some advise or help to our new bro.
