Hi and welcome from Surrey, the majority of members on here are UK based but all are happy to give what advice we can. There are quite a few members on your side of the pond now, I think @FRANKIE is probably one of the your nearest in New Jersey, he has an M.

Yikes what have I got into!

Anyway, here it (she) is a 1998 M Roadster with 22k miles. It was a totally spontaneous decision which are sometimes the best. But as a guy with zero experience with cars like this I'm just a little worried that this will be a pain in the arse. But actually more excited for the fun. Anyway, so far so good.

Figure I need someone with experience to do a once over and whatever tuning should be done. Since I'm ripe for the taking a good referral to an honest BMW/German car garage would be fantastic in getting the car and me sorted. I'll be in the Boston to Portland Maine corridor.

Look forward to learning from you guys here.

Welcome to the forum from Egg Harbor Township, New Jersey. Great looking car. Good luck with it. It took some time for me to find a BMW mechanic who does work on the side. It's always nice to find someone who works on just BMW's. I know that dealerships cost an arm and a leg for service, however, they do provide a service for checking out a car. There are 2 or 3 different prices they charge depending on how completely you want them to check out your car. I was told once that for $220, they would go over it with a fine tooth comb. It's probably worth it as the people that will be checking out your car look at them all the time and know what to look for. The only thing that can be a problem is that they come up with things that don't really "need" to be done but could be a problem later but they give you the impression your life is on the line. If they're reputable, you'll get an honest opinion. Good luck with if. If for any reason you're down this way, I can contact my guy for an appointment. I'm located where the Garden State Parkway and the Atlantic City Expressway meet (right over the fence)...........................Frankie
