In 40-50k combined miles, my M3's have needed oil changed and a diff bolt tightened.

I'll respond, even though I think your post replied to Edward.
I really want to sit down with KD, or another expert, for 15 or 30 mintutes, go through the service records for my car, let them kick the tires, and then formulate a plan for what needs to be done and when. Although the car just rolled past 25,000 miles, it is an '08, and now that it's a daily driver, I'm thinking it could use fluids (diff, trans, coolant) and it is about due for an oil change. Maybe spark plugs, too. Who knows. I just want a true expert to tell me what they think, and we can go from there. And, I can't do the stuff myself. I'm Dave, BTW. |

First, OP, congrats on the car! I've been starting to M3 shop and saw yours come up a few weeks ago (it was in Shoreline/Northgate, right?). It being a white manual sedan immediately caught my eye, I'm glad it went to a good home!
I remember the rear bumper being described... How bad is it? Are you going to have the bumper repainted? For Kevin Doyle, I've heard he gets pretty busy. Just last night I was reading another thread on a different forum where an e30 owner was chasing an issue and another poster recommended going to KD to which the OP responded "I think he's busy because I've been e-mailing and calling to no avail". I'm glad to hear good things about Noah @ Cohesive though since he's in West Seattle and near my 2002 mechanic. I'd seen the good reviews on Yelp, but I don't know that I trust Yelp a ton. Quote:
Now, granted those are cars that were probably getting full resprays with single stage so maybe they have an area of expertise and classics isn't it, but I'd still be wary as so far the FAQ has never steered me wrong with advice and recommendations. |

I wonder if you're the only chick on the forum? Can't be too many--just a bunch of dudes geeking out on cars.

They were shady on the quote it ended up being about $1,200 more than quoted and I didn't know until I was there to pick the car up. They also didn't make the due date. I didn't get a chance to look at it closely due to it being night time when i picked it up but the next day I found that there was overspray on the hood and glass. The paint matched well but during the polishing stage to match the finish they burned the paint on 3 areas to the primer. (corner areas) Also, scratches on the trunk lid ...buff swirl marks on the new painted bumper. I called the next day and told them my concerns but it didn't seem like they really cared. They offered to fix it but I decided to take the hit and not get fucked by them again. The main guy there ...I can't remember his name.... but he was kind of a dick. I don't need to go there again...ever. They came highly recommended but i'm not impressed. There's been others that had bad experiences with them as well.
