Does anyone know of a really great, honest, cost-effective
mechanic that will work on Mini Coopers and BMWs? Thanks
for any help.

I'd love some updated recommendations for a BMW repair
shop here in the East Bay. I am looking for another option
besides Weatherford, thank you.

Any recent recommendations for a good BMW repair/service
shop in the Oakland area? Reviews I found were several years
old. Would like someplace that does good work, is honest and
fairly reasonable (wouldn't we all?!). New to me BMW owner

Retrofitting a 2002 BMW for safety
Nov 2008
My husband needs to retrofit his old 2002 BMW with rear safety
belts/shoulder straps so that we can upgrade from the car seat to
a booster seat for our son. He is a ''do-it-yourselfer'' but
hasn't done it yet. Any advice on how/where to get this work
done? Thank you.
need a safety upgrade
I would try M Service in Walnut Creek. They know EVERYTHING about
BMWs!!!

First off, I don't understand how a 2002 vehicle does NOT have shoulder
belts , is there some kind of crazy unsafe BMW on the
road??.......Anyways,please don't let your husband do this himself. It
involves the safety of passengers riding in your vehicle, namely your
child.
Is he a certified auto technician? If not I would leave it to the
professionals.
How will you know it was done correctly? Is he ready to handle the
feelings of self blame if God forbid his seatbelt retrofit failed in an
accident and your son was injured or worse??

2002 BMW refers to the BMW 2002 model, not a BMW from the model year
2002. Since this vehicle was produced between 1968 and 1976, it's no
surprise that it doesn't have modern rear seat belts.
I take my '91 BMW (as in model year 1991) to Bavarian Professionals in
Berkeley and recommend them. If they can't do it, they should be able
to refer you to someone who can.

Am looking for a BMW repair shop. I don't want to go to
Berkeley Motor Works in Albany. I heard Bavarian's good and
Berks in Oakland? Anybody have experience with Nippon?
Thanks in advance

Does anyone have a recommendation for a good auto shop for
standard BMW maintenance and/or repairs. The few postings I
saw were quite old. Anywhere East Bay is fine but El Cerrito,
Richmond, Albany, etc. would be fantastic!
