Fritz bits?

Post Thu Nov 12, 2015 12:28 am

what's the deal with these guys? I'm pretty local to them now and will need a BMW specialist at some stage but have heard negative things about them. Anyone have any experience?

I've seen plenty of their work !

In fairness it was several years ago but unlike ML where a new broom swept the old detritus out the door and several miles down the road , nothing much has changed down there. You might become one of their many fans OR one of their many detractors. How lucky do you feel ?

Their second hand parts that they claim are a1 are far from it in my experience.

What are their 6 branch manifolds like? Was thinking of buying one for my 325?

my only experience of fritz bitz, is a 6 branch manifold, fitted by maggs power. was nice quality in my opinion

I'm happy with my manifold but I found them full of themselves and rather impolite when talking on the phone

You must be fairly local to me then, I'm on the Wiltshire Somerset border.

Think I'm going to buy one, is it worth getting the rest of the exhaust from them or getting a stainless custom one

Glastonbury is full of special people who wear purple cloths and have smelly hair.
Swindon is just full of mongs

About half an hour from you then.

There's not much around here in terms of specialists, I know a good general garage if you need someone to do general servicing and part replacement but they are about 50 mins from you. Place I put the S50 track car together for.

I would get the exhaust custom made, you then have your say on how loud you want it and typically rework is free if you are not happy with it.

As I noted above I am not impressed by fritz bits but their exhausts and manifolds are ok
