Day Dreaming Question - E30 Overhaul

[NIX]

Hi guys,

My e30 is in decent nick but there's a number of imperfections, a few bits missing, needs a repray etc All the usual bits you'd expect with a 22 year old car.

If I managed to save up some pennies, where would be the best place to simply take my car to and have them do everything to get the car back to how it would have been when it came out of the factory?

I'm partly day dreaming but could look to save towards it as well depending on how ridiculous the quotes were. Am based in Twickenham, SW London, so any places closer to there would be ideal.

I know there are a number of guys on here who could do a good job privately but want to know what companies are out there as I'd expect them to be more liable in case things went wrong - something to consider if spending a few £££s.

Cheers,

Nick

Take it to a BMW dealer as they'll do a free check and price the job up, didn't Barry post up on one cab that the work and parts came in to at £6 t0 £7k?

That was 7k to mechanically refresh a tired but sound 325 convertible . That did NOT include any bodywork or
cosmetics !


You would not want to be bringing them a molested hound !

[Rav335uk]

About 2 yrs judging by his ongoing rebuild.

I spent about £2k refreshing mine myself. That was just mechanical's as well.

Thanks diable, however my wifes car has just been scrapped and now facing using my e30 as the sole family car which I don't think will work as much as I'd love it to, so in fact I may now have to sell the e30 in favour of something more reliable and practical
