All you will need is a screw driver. That is a long list and it is easy to get overwhelmed but just prioritize and pick them off one by one. We are here to help. |
I agree and at the same time check with another mechanic, I would tackle the oil leak first and then the rest. There is a BMW specialist in Orange
