But I've spoken to their parts counter a few times over the phone, and they seemed forthcoming with information and help. Beyond that, I wouldn't know much else about them. But I'll definitely check out Hunterdon BMW.

Been there a few times. Next to Lowes right? They seem too busy to give you the time of day. And they ranked about average in the pricing, somewheres in the $500 to $600 for an Inspection II. I haven't had any service with them specifically.

^^Funny you replied to this today . . . I was just there this morning. Someone tried to break in thru my passenger side door and broke the lock. So I bought a lock repair kit from them, and they gave me the drivers side. Idiots. When I went back, the parts counter was just closed, but I saw the guy who sold me the part, and he ducked away. So a salesman from the showroom floor actually came to help me. It was a bittersweet experience to say the least. I ended up not getting the part yet, since the driver's side lock kit was out of stock. Hmmm . . .

I guess we can officially place JMK on the shit list for now.

^^Well, let's not do that just yet . . . they ended up overnite'ing the lock repair kit to me so I wouldn't have to come back. They were also very apologetic about the whole thing after all was said and done. And from watching other customers, I notice they have no qualms about selling parts that otherwise probably shouldn't be sold to the public, and they don't seem to suggest that the dealership do the repair instead. I'd say the jury's still out on JMK. But for now, they'll be the place I go if buying something online is doesn't make sense.

im in south jersey... out in the sticks. i live about 20 min from ocean city and about 30 from ac. i kinda like it here. im not sure if any of u have heard of estelle manor, but we have a nice long strip of black top out here that we like to race at sat nights. not to many people go anymore... buddy of mine went head on with another quad and sent the guy flying into a truck. the guy died and ever since then people have been kinda scarce.

**e30boarder** · 08-10-2005, 02:23 PM

theres a guy down here i do work for... we detail all his cars. he sells used bmw and benz. real nice french guy. sells them for cheap too. the rents ar thinkin of buying a 98 740il off him. it has 66000 miles on it and he wants 16000 for it. real nice blue... ive never seen a 740 with this color. it looks good though, but he has all kinds of cars. and if he doesnt have what u want, he'll go to the auction and pick it out for u.

ok fellow Jerseyans, did some checking out online about gas prices, as I'm sure we're all feeling it now. I found a site that isn't very scientific, but could give anyone an idea of the prices around them, which have the most expensive gas and which have the cheapest:

Cheap Gas Prices

Gas'ed up last night on Duncan & West Side Ave's here in Jersey City for $3.05/gal premium. They probably raised it by now tho. Too bad it was Exxon, and I can feel it bogging the car down . . . don't know about you guys, but I've never had a good experience with Exxon gas

I've bought from Exxon quite a few times. I don't really think I've ever really felt a bogging down experiernce with them. I've been buying Hess for quite a while, only because (at the time) it was the cheapest spot along a route that I take and because Hess doesn't get thier gas from OPEC, but that could just be completly wrong. I'm in a habit now.

PS
Saw a Raceway still at $3.19 for regular along Rt. 22 after Kmart. My Hess station was still the same $3.399 for premium.

Just thought my brothers in the garden state ought to know:

Recently released, for 2005, the top towns/cities IN THE USA that are the:

From CNN/Money.com

#9 Chatham, NJ

SAFEST-in the top 10:
