Question
Hey Josh,
I recently purchased an '89 BMW 735i, and it's really not like any car I've owned or worked on before.  I would be interested in performing basic maintenance on it my self but have been left a little disoriented after having looked under the hood.  Are there any good video resources out there to guide a DIY BMW owner through the tune up process et al?

Answer
Jordan,
 There are TONS of links on the internet for finding information and DIY articles.  I would also join a forum dedicated to you car.

 Good luck,

Expertise

I can answer questions related to the BMW e30. These are the cars produced from 1984-1991 (1992 for convertable) in the United states. I am more fluent with the six cylinder models, although few things changed for the 4 cylinder cars. I know most of the problematic areas of these cars, and have found ways to fix them.

Experience

I have owned six different E30's over the last 10 years. I do all my own work, and know about ever nut and bolt on these cars.
