btw... for our Fall new M3 Meet debut, we need to slide that maybe to Spring 08. Production won't start 'til Dec this year. So, you're correct AJ, my bad.

but Donny and the gang still like to pursue our Annual Fall festivities with you guys.

i've been debating betwen getting an e46 m3 or an e92 m3 or even just stick to a 328xi and not spend that much..

budman · 04-14-2007, 12:10 PM

I was rear-ended and brought my car in to Zamoras.. I had driven by there on a few occasions and saw quite a few mercedes and bmw's, so I thought everything would be great (BTW they were highly recommended). After a few weeks, I got my car back, and while it looked nice, I had a few problems...

1. fuel door never latched correctly
2. panels were misaligned
3. they reattached my 325 crooked
4. the paint had specs in it
5. the lights were full of dust
6. the trunk lid never closed correctly
7. the list goes on and on...

I opened an investigation with my insurance company, but the process was so frustrating that I didn't want to deal with it anymore, so I sold my car. I was very sad about that because I loved that car so much. Your experience may be different, but I would definitely do more research if you are actually thinking about using them.

sorry to hear that, glad thankful for the headsup

I think you may have just ended up with a bad or new bodypart fitment guy

I've used Mullinix in Ellicott City, MD w/ very good results multiple times.

Scottz71 · 04-23-2007, 10:27 AM

I've heard AutoHaus in Herndon, VA is really good

I had a good experience in late '04 with Pohanka body shop in Chantilly. Got smacked pretty good -- $7k damage to rear end. I'm really picky about my cars and I was satisfied. Great paint color match and perfect texture. No orange peel, no specks . . . smooth as glass. They also did a very good job with panel gaps. If you looked really hard you could find one slight imperfection. Badges were all in the right places. Also, no rattles and the car tracked perfectly straight. Caveat: it was October of '04. No way of knowing if the they are still that good. Also, one person's experience doesn't prove much. I might have lucked out and gotten the A-team.

Where is the best place to get your accessories installed, like the M Aero Kit and Rear spoiler? I was going to go the body shop that Passport uses. Anyone have any recommendations?
