If you take it on, I suggest you go to Amazon.com and get a Robert Bentley manual. The warranty time is about 9 hours so it is probably wise for you to double that time. I also caution you that it takes special tools, without them you are not going to be efficient, or even successful. If fixing BMW cars were easy, anyone could do it.
