You know, I didn't really get to see the extent of that fender unitl Eric posted his pics. I don't know WTF they were doing, but I am going to ask Jorge, because that pisses the F*ck out of me, like you would not believe. The car was ordered early without my go ahead. Honestly, I think everybody should bring two 300W halogen lights to a schedule pre-inspection delivery and inspect their car...that is not confidence-inspiring. |

When Jamie, BMRLVR, picked up his Individual M3 he ordered Edm BMW to do no prep on eh car surface, inside or out. He came down and did it all himself. Halogens reveal every flaw voraciously. I have a set and use them for all my detailing. Just hot as hell to run frequently. Don't sweat it too much Harbuksh, gonna do nothing but piss you off and the truth is you got a pro to fix it. Just never get them to wash the car when it is there, I demand no wash and put a sticker inside the car. Nothing good can come from dealer washes but scratches. |

It's a shame but the place just is not run well. So many gaps in service between good and bad there. |

Glenn, is that oil change between major service? With my e46 M3, once I had a scheduled oil change and my computer was reset for another 25,000KM, I would change my oil twice in between major services. Pretty much every 8000KM. I did those changes at Karmac as well. Is your change a major service interval change?

I just get it from Theo. Drop the car off and pick it right back up with everything changed.
Glad to see that I am not the only OCD person here...lol |

Do you guys have any local detailers that you recommend? I'm not that OCD when compared to you guys but I do like to give the car a good once over before and after winter... the 911 definitely needs love and I'd like the M3 to get looked at as well. I have a name and contact number from Porsche for one of their guys but just seeing who you guys might know.

Bavaria has a good service department and I would recommend them. Glenn give Nick a call at Bavaria if you are looking for Dinan stuff, he knows his stuff and will price competitively unlike Edmonton BMW. Nothing burns me more than shit customer service and Edmonton BMW excels there. By the way Calgary BMW FTW! End rant |

He has written numerous how-to's for the BMW Club and I've spent considerable time talking to him. He knows his sh*t. From the wash all the way to wax he uses professional products and workds hard, does a good job. I think my detail/paint correction job was $560 |

So you guys are going to do oil changes in between the recommended service intervals? Maybe I will do it with Karmac when they do my pulley.
I want to start to do my own detailing, have never done it before but want to learn because my car really needs it after this winter! |

If you are looking for a cash job I can get some names too. He is not at the level at Eric@Eclipse but Eric is exceptionally rare and in another league in terms of overally experience and tools. |

Wow Harbuksh, That was some pretty fine job that Eric did on your ride. Good thing he was there to fix the mess at the edmonton BMW. Now it just making me paranoid to bring my car there for anything.
Just got my HID halo today and decided to slap them on. Damn are they bright I just hope I don't get any tickets for them I was going to post some pics but my car is too dirty and it would look like garbage compared to Harbuksh ride

I have always liked detailing my ride, I find it quite relaxing and therapeutic. That is if you have the spare time

Earlier I posted my install of the HID Halo kit from camaross305. Did you have any issues with install at all? My passenger side ballast runs much hotter then the drivers side and upon startup the passenger side ballast also emits a very loud hum that dies off quickly. I've had a few hundred KMs on the kit so far and it works well but it's these minor things that bother me.
