E30 Zone

Hey dudes. Whats the general opinion of Munich Legends with you guys, are they as top as I've been reading? When I get my E30 cab I definetly wanna get it serviced by someone that gonna know what they doing...and what about the cars they sell, they the best of the best?

Just wondering?

yes very good service mate i recommend them

yes.

Straight to the point johnono!!!

I've read mixed views about ML, some good some very bad, but you will get it most places. Be prepared to pay a lot of money, and if you own an M3 or 318is, be prepared for a timing chain change, as all cars that go to ML seem to require it!

...even though they don't need it.

I think it was here that the magic 100,000 mile 'chain change myth' started... wasn't it?

More of a damage prevention thing rather than anything else, but it just kinda escalated into a major drama.

You'll get mixed reviews on ML.

I use them to service my car, and have been happy with the work.

Cheers,

Ian.

They a big name in older BMW servicing/selling though aint they?

Anyone else had dealings with them?

why not Hartlake they are very good and in the same area, Angelo is the man there, or even pacerpete?

Ant works for a specialist in the area also, he's defo a guy u want working on your E30

ML rank very highly with me,Barney bent over backwards trying to help out with my rollcage problem,as was said,there not the cheapest out there but you get what you pay for imo

who Barney Rubble?

No... Barney Halse.

Oh, it's you again... humour overload.

it's raining sent home from work and bored!

Very nice bloke, sourcing a car for me!.
Nice forecourt, knowledgable men in shop!.

Simon....you were sent home from work because it's raining?! You jammy git, bet you love the fact you work in this rain soaked country!

I remember being SO close to buying either an Alpina B6 3.5 or an M3 Cecotto from him. Trouble was, the insurance company at the time thought I would kill myself in them (which I probably would have done) so decided not to insure me. Stuck with my Mtech 1 Sport for a few more years instead... but the dealings I had with Barney were very friendly and informative.

I often think about having a trundle down there to have a chat and drool over the machines they have there...

Excellent day trip mate,did you see my post a month or so ago with the pics?

Simon....not so jammy after all

More good than bad then, about ML? Cheers guys.

Munich legends are greedy chancers. All of their sales cars are sale or return with 50% markups . A 325 cab is a very straightforward car any garage with any e30 experience will do most jobs with their eyes closed. Don't waste your time or money with these saddos !.

Trouble is, Pete does do most of his work with his eyes closed...

thats cos he's a good mechanic

Come on now Simon... is that another of your humourous out-bursts...?

just playing games! still sussing u as i haven't meet the mo fo G to I to L man yet

Will be a while yet too... not got an E30 on the road anymore, and still scraping pennies together to eat, so meets are way down on my list of priorities at the mo, which is a shame... besides, I've been on the Zone for a couple of years... surely you've sussed me out by now...
