Isn't that Total BMW's project silver e30 325i underneath the pic of the 2002? nice selection there anyway.

Mon May 23, 2011 1:37 pm

nice pics, so are al them cars for sale or show or customers or what ?

Mon May 23, 2011 5:30 pm

Yes that is the Total BMW 325i car.I used to know the guy that owed it and I think there all for sale but couldnt be sure.

Mon May 23, 2011 6:48 pm

most of them are for sale, there cars dont have prices in the window as they like to use there website and reputation. i went there the other week. great guys who know everything. plus i know the owner of the garage. always a bonus

I've read things here on the zone that suggests their reputation isn't so great.....

i wouldn't buy a Munich bellends car. certainly not one with "full BMW and ML history"

Having just read total bmw today i'm looking at the article with said 2dr 325i. Nice colour check, manual check, history check, lowish miles and owners check.

What would you do? fuck it up into a track car like every other 2dr 325 thats left? sounds like a car with a value is being nailed into something it shouldn't imo

Depends how nice it really is though Si

Mon May 23, 2011 7:09 pm

true but only goons weld up sh!tters for track cars. The safest cars are ones never welded up bar the weld in cage!

They are fitting a bolt in cage? whats the point?! They said that if you remove the glass on an E30 you can move the roof skin with your hands ffs.

Where do these people get this sh!t from?!

Mon May 23, 2011 7:24 pm

Only 4 cylinders should be used as track cars.

Mon May 23, 2011 7:48 pm

The owner before ML was a keen beamer fan. He owed an M5,M3 E30 Cab,and the 325i in question.He was a mechanic and had a garage next to where I work. Before I bought my cab I was going to buy it myself,before he pasted away he said that he wanted it to go to a good home or he would keep it,its a shame that its going to be a track car.

They all look really lovely but I would not buy from them because there cars seem to be well over priced!

Exactly!

The previous people who used to run it for an American owner were Tony and Barny Halse who were the two crooks that built the bad reputation up.

They got the boot when the owner sold up to the present owner, Dan Norris who is now running it.

Barney Halse has started up a new firm not to far away from ML which is called Classic heros.

I personally know two people who work there, their parts manager Andy and a technician called Adam. Both are former colleges of mine at Chandlers BMW and both are very good at what they do!

Excellent pictures

Which Chandlers do you work at Barry? Worthing one is my local

I worked at Chandlers Hailsham (near Eastbourne) where i worked with the two guys that now work at ML but i left there and November last year i started working for Vines BMW Gatwick.

I know a couple of techs from Worthing though.

ML or *spit* Classic Heroes - who have appear to have maintained ML's legendary ability for self publicity and praise?

Fri Jun 03, 2011 3:42 pm

Were ML's rep really that bad under the previous owners or was it a small % of the customers? What is their rep like now? They have clearly had a massive website improvement and rebranding. I heard a few stories from a few posts people made on here a while back when i asked about them.

I been down ML only once in my life and that was not that long after i bought the E30. They seem to have a few low mileage CSLs these days. Classic Heroes never been to there HQ but probably wouldnt mind a look round well either them or ML. They both seem to feature alot in either BMW Car magazine or the BMWCC magazine with their own column, job adverts, opinions etc.
