Ask Auto Color if they'd do that.

Its good to know we got several members from Madison here on the boards!

P.S., I just took delivery of my e92 a month ago and last week I joined a impromtu mini 335i meet. Was actually pulling into woodman's to go shopping and noticed two 335i's parked close together on the far end of the parking lot and I joined them in parking there. Three 335's parked together in Madison counts as a meet in my book!

Kelly Moss is probably your best bet in the Madison area.

If you all doesnt mind the drive to Chicago suburb I sugguest u go to iND / A&L body shop. their work is by far much better than any shop in Madison WI.

Thus i had bad experience with kelly motor. Seems like they took forever to get things done.

I agree you should try A&L/IND if you dont mind making the drive. I did my exhaust there and they are great.

Let me know once you have the dual intake install, will ya? I am considering getting one myself. Thanks

Guys, we should have a meet second week of july or something. (my wheels wont be here probably until next week or so......) what do you guys think?

[UdubBadger]

only thing i have against that is then im 2 1/2 hrs away of there is a problem

[madisonsfinest]

I stopped by autocolor and they said that they only do some wheel repair, so I don't think that they will paint your wheels. However if you need any paint touch up on your car I would totally go there. Their prices are very reasonable.

[UdubBadger]

yeah i've talked to them bout that already.

i have a place on east wash right by my apt (Carstar Quality Repair) who's done some work on my car before. the guy said he could do it but he wanted like $500 for it.


Supreme is painting my new wheels for $65/rim... but since they are a business i'm sure thats a deal they get.

i might just try doing it myself since it'll be on my winter wheel set.

i am sick of madison's road situation seriously. there are so manying f***ing potholes everyway, and they almost killed my rims.

[UdubBadger]

everyday man... everyday.

i think chicago is better since we pay toll plus they have road construction work everytime i went there. but madison just ... sigh.... i almost want to sell my car and just ride a bike.

[madisonsfinest]

the only difference is Chicago's potholes are twice as big

[UdubBadger]

well chicago (especially LSD) has like 1 huge pot hole every mile... you can easily avoid them since 1). you are only going 20mph because of traffic and 2). most of the other cars are swerving to miss them as well.


in madison, you get like 3-5 medium sized pot holes all in a row and only 1/2 the cars move out of the way because the other 1/2 are driving '89 Silverados and don't give a shit about hitting them. the one that always gets me is on johnson making a right onto blair... the busses fuck that lane up so badly.

Campus Drive is the worst now imo.

Hmm.... things might have changed after I left in '05 then. I used to drive Campus Dr every day (lived on the west side of town) and it wasn't that bad. On the other hand, old U Ave was filled with pot holes due to all the buses.
