A local and well respected tire installer said he could do the mounting/balancing of the tires and also a four wheel alignment.

Based on his integrity, is it possible a non-BMW dealership could actually do a good four wheel alignment?:dunno: He does have the latest and greatest of equipment, so...

The same guy did a C5 Corvette for me and it was absolutely perfect.

I have a really good deal on OEM style 300 rims with tires: $1,200
They were on my list, but not #1, also they are 20" and I wanted 21".
So I'm debating if I should get them as they are only 3 weeks old, perfect condition, only $1200. Or should I wait and for sure pay more for 21", I might even have to go with replicas.
The 300 do look good on 2009, 4.8 - Black Saphire, with running boards and aero kit, that's what I have.
Any advices?

my 2005 x5 sports drivers seat, thigh support (outer ) seems to be broken.

its as if there is a tubular metal piece that gives it its shape and support and it seems to be broken, if i grab the seat squab, or edge and move it there is a clicking sound like two pieces meeting and then separating.

so i wondered how hard it would be to A: get the seat out and B: remove the leather trim to allow access to the seat frame, and maybe repair it

oh my seats are electric with memory on the drivers side and the under thigh cushion that is extendable.

i,m sorry my description is probably not the best, but the bit that is broken is the side squab that is up raised and cops a hammering every time you get in and out

thanks

Then no more chime or msg on cluster, but the seat belt sign on dash continued on. The steering wheel controls are not working while all this is happening. The car continued doing this today as well every time I start it. Then, on top of that, this evening, the headlights started flickering all the way from home to the movie theater and on the way home, and the interior lights came on and stayed on all the way home.
Anyone has any idea:dunno: what could be causing all this?

Some of you may recall awhile back I was having some vibration problems.

I still am. I've been to a couple shops, and umpteen trips to the dealer. No one seems to be able to diagnose exactly where this vibration is coming from.

I"ve got decent, good mechanics here - both at the dealer, and at independent shops.

I"m looking for the *best* guy though. Willing to travel...I just want the car fixed.

So... if you know that incredibly anal, extremely smart, slightly (or very) odd mechanic who has his own shop, and particularly likes challenges, I'd like to get their name and number and have a chat - and potentially drive up to see them.

I'm not looking for a run of the mill place - I'm looking for those *exceptional* folks, who can take a roll of steel and a roll of copper and make a car, an engine harness, design a driveshaft out of cardboard, and make it all work...

There are a couple of these folks in the "volvo-land" that I play with, but I don't know a guru like this for BMW.

Thanks! ]]> X5 (E53) Forum ncsucarjock http://www.xoutpost.com/bmw-sav-forums/x5-e53-forum/75533-best-mechanic-where-he-i-have-challenge.html
