Hello. I’ve owned my e9 for 27 years. It was love at first sight. My first two cars were 2002’s so my affection for vintage BMW’s is long standing.
I’ve recently relocated to Delaware and am looking for referrals for a mechanic within driving distance (DE, MD, VA, PA). My trusted mechanic in NH is now too far for regular maintenance. I’ve just picked up my car from professional storage and discovered the indicator lights and wipers are now not functioning. This had already been replaced and fixed four years ago when I had a mechanical restoration done on the car so I don’t think wiring is the issue.
I’m not a DIY person when it comes to my car but if it would be a simple job to use some 220 grit on the contacts I’m willing to try with some encouragement. Meanwhile it won’t pass inspection.
Thanks for any help.
 
Hi Seb - Doug Dolan (@Doug Dolan) has used Excluservice in MD for years and really likes them.

Another option is London Auto in Fairfax, VA just outside Washington DC. I know one of the guys who started that shop (@bmwski) - he's retired now - but the guys he trained to take over are still around.

I've also used the BMW guy at Eurasian and he was good, but I haven't lived in DC for five years now and I'm not sure he's still there.
