We want to send another thank you to Odometer Gears, our gracious host last weekend. If you are not familiar with them, please check out their website. This is a company that saves car enthusiasts money while keeping our cars on the road. They make gears in the US that commonly fail on our BMWs. Without them we would need to replace a larger, more expensive part or not have access to the part at all.
