February 2/14 through 2/18 marked FCP Euro’s return to Road Atlanta for the first race of the 2018 season with American Endurance Racing. Road Atlanta is like a homecoming for our Mercedes C300. It’s where we debuted the Mercedes for the 2017 season and came away with overall wins for Saturday...

Does your E30's front end feel sketchy over bumps? Here's how to fix it. Bad shocks often create an uncomfortable ride that becomes sketchy on uneven or bumpy road surfaces. Shocks help dampen the springs, and a worn shock absorber means the time your tire spends in contact with the road is...

All you need is basic hand tools to fix the bouncy rear end of your E30. If your E30's rear end feels bouncy and unplanted there is a good chance your rear shocks are toast. You can verify this by attempting a bounce test to see if the shock can control the oscillation of the spring....

Before heading off to Bimmerfest, I decided to change the oil in my M3 and do a few other checks. Changing your own oil will save you a lot of money compared to taking it to the dealer, and it’s not difficult at all. There are a few things you will need in order to complete the job...

I want to give everyone an idea of what Bimmerfest East this past weekend entailed and what we were able to accomplish during the two days we spent in Englishtown, NJ. There was a decent amount of prep involved leading up to this event including fixing the truck, getting displays put together,...
