Alright well I was recently involved in a small accident the other day, basically a Boston Cab side swiped me hit my Driver side door, rear quarter panel, rocker and bumper rear bumper. I was thinking ok just time for a Mtech rear but than if they are already going to be replacing the whole quarter panel and bumper why not just go M3 rear conversation.

I will be getting Vargas Stg2B2 whenever they ship so this would also allow me to run a wider rear tires for traction. Plus the rear is the hard part anyway, doing the M3 front conversation if I wanted to in the future would be easy and I can handle myself.

As for shops that I have personally been to.

• Allston Collision Center

– I had my Mtech front, DD hood rad support and some other repairs done here. Not bad work and they are reasonable in price.

• Sansossio Auto Body

– Great Guys, awesome work, they did the exact same things to my car that Allston did; (yes I have been though 2 Mtechs and DD hoods). Because they are so reputable with BMW they are always booked as for prices they are a little more pricey.

• Dicks Autobody

- Had a friend go here to have her car fixed. They know what they are doing, but as for custom work not sure and they are def not cheap.

I would have no problem dealing with these shops but I am wondering if there is maybe a shop around that is more like LTBMW. Normally I order my parts from them, and have them ship everything to the autobody shop. Some place that has no problem getting into custom work without BMW Tax rates, were I can speak with the owner or the actual guy that’s doing the work feel like my car is being treated well and they person that is actually doing the work has a passion for what they are doing. Maybe to much to ask?

So much for going to the BavAuto Show and Shine……

Let me know your thoughts or places you can recommend. I am also open to the idea of somebody that might have a paint booth and does work on the side ect - As long as they have good recommendations.

I was going to say sansossio.

If it's anything other than custom work. I would saw Allston or any decent shop can do. But Phil and those guys really know bmws. I'd just get it done right the first time.

Ya i hear you on that, those guys do great work. I like Allston but i did happen to visit Mike at Mikes Autobody in Malden and i think i am sold going there. He does Turner Motorsoprts cars, we started talking about race cars and showed me everything he was building and races, gave me a tour of all the facilities great guy and went over everything on the car and found stuff that i had missed.

Decided to take the route of M-tech rear and Custom LTBM diffuser.
