1989 325iX-Need help! APB for iX owners!

[rampelsauce]

Hey all, Im new to the Bimmer wrenching scene, and Im looking for some spiritual guidance on my iX. If anyone lives near Wauwatosa and would be willing to have a look at my ride, send me a message. I work down at Jamie's Customs in Big Bend, and Im here pretty much everyday. So if anyone is local to Big Bend, feel free to drop by during the day on Monday, Tuesday, or Wednesday (our "slower" days). Thanks all!

Whats the problem?

[rampelsauce]

Well, I have a lot of AWD transmission questions, and to the best of my knowledge they dont cover any iX drive train in the Bentley manual. Plus I need help doing a jack test (I dont have a jack currently). Mainly I need someone to come look at my car and help me acknowledge all the issues that need fixing. Im used to working on motorcycles that are pre-1970. And I find transmissions/drive trains on AWD auto trans cars intimidating. Plus I need someone with some knowledge of building E30's in general to give me some idea of what modifications I should go for. This is really my first time trying to "build" a faster/more agile than stock car. Thanks all!

Try this. E30tech has a pretty well established IX community, and there's a lot of information about trans, t-cases, driveshafts, axles, and everything else in the drivetrain. Its as good a place to start as any.

Where in Tosa? I just moved to 88th n Center, previously 69th n Lloyd.

I also happen to plan on going to Jamie's Customs this weekend to look at bikes.

I live between 114 and 115 about a block south of Center st. And if you're stopping at Jamies ask for me, and bring your car. Send me a PM if you want me to help wrench on your car, I want to gain some experience on BMW's. Or if you want to buy me a beer, haha.
