My Ride: 2008 550I LOADED, all options except HUD and NV
Well, this was a long maintenance weekend. I enlisted the help of member Healthservices (Allen) - great guy really knows his stuff.
We (and by "we" I mean mostly Allen, I mostly drank Coronas and cheered him on) did the tranny flush, diff oil change, oil change, looked for the source of my oil seepage. Then for extra "fun" I changed my rear window seals and then we levelled out my suspension.
If anyone needs work done to your car, I highly recommend Allen. Reasonable, friendly and honest, good guy to call on when you need work done to your cars.

Good deal John. Thanks for sharing - I may reach out to Allen as well for some tune up in the near future. Haven't met him but see a lot of his posts and DIY instructions on the board.
Dbae should set up a meet sometime soon for K-BBQ.
