I have just joined the M3 club (archive)

After three months of search I finaly put my money down. Some of you may have looked at the car. It is an 89 red with small rust spots in front of the windscreen. It came the eastern shore of Md.
This leads to my main point. The mechaninc said the car needs the following done.
Inspection 2 with valve adjustment
Intake manifold gasket
idlevalve, co adjustment
upper and lower oilpan gasket
both steering hoses off of resevoir
distributor cap
ignition rotor
ignition rotor
igintion wires
drive belts
exhaust from manifold back to rear of car
Help!!
I have always worked on my own vehicles but am new to the BMW world. Where do i start? WHo has the best price on parts? What or were do I use for a service manual?
Also the guys owners manual was damaged and realy not readable. He left it out in the rain. I would love to get a new one or even a copy. I cant even figure out how to set the clock with out one.
Sorry about the long post. I am very excited. Any help with part#'s advice etc would be great. Even better is there anyone near summit point Wv who would be my M3 mentoir!! This grasshopper needs some help.

Thanks for all the help for I have been watching this board for about 6 months now and know you guys are a great group.

Cheers
Scott
