Some of you guys know a thing or two about a thing or two.
So... I got a DNF on my way to a meeting a couple of weeks ago. My BMW 330 met the steel bumper of a Mercedes something or another and a 17-year old kid that tried to explain to me the value of a safety stop before crossing an intersection. I'm not totally upset about it, I get a new bumper/accident forgiveness; they didn't even seem to mind about the Voodoo donut I was working on just before the little snafoo 
Long story short, I'm looking for any suggestions on a qualified body shop that works with original BMW parts. I have a guy I'm working with but it's been over a week and he's still trying to figure out how to get the photos uploaded to my insurance company portal. I'd like to have some backups that I can go to just in case (one that could take care of my brake dust would be even better). Insurance company gave me some names but my guy told me they would likely all be re-worked, after market parts that won't fit right. Open to suggestions, I'll update my email address on my profile too. (I guess he's not the only one that has trouble uploading pics.) Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/13/2012 10:29PM by Wannabe. |

Awesome! Both look good. I'll call today! The place I'm working with now is Pacific Autobody http://www.pacificautobody.net/ The owner has been great in the past, fixing up parking lot scratches and such I think he must have other big projects taking priority. Thanks for the tip on the wheels too, is it like a protectant as well that will help keep the build up down? I do a lot of city driving. I'll check out the link! I hadn't thought about the duct tape, hair dryer idea but that's a good idea. Get one of those magic paint pens and I'm good to go  Edited 1 time(s). Last edit at 06/14/2012 04:27PM by Wannabe. |

Well Robert didn't either. He's German so genetically he had to do a GTI and was all happy. Then...........................he drove a 96 V4 and realised what a superior car it was to almost anything else out there and had to have one.
