Ha I willing drive somewhere! Cant drive at night because my car was hit
and run parked on the street already though! Got to take it to Rick Hendrick to get fixed. Ever hear about or see how decent paint and body work they do?
Honk if ya see me driving around! Just look for a low and loud TiAg E90.

Never been hit before I moved here. Its tough parking on the street, but its just a car so I should stop worrying about it! Really gets on my nerves about it being a hit & run though. Guess they know that the headlights are ungodly expensive!

Damn that sucks...so they didn't damage the bumper cover, just the healight?

Just the fender, bumper, and headlight were damaged. The fender will have to
be bent straight. To me it looks like there might not have to be any paint work on the fender. The bumper is just gonna need some filler(w/e they are gonna fix it with), some sanding, and a repaint. Its funny that just getting a headlight replaced and two body panels fixed and repainted runs around 2500$. This is exactly why they call them "stealerships". At least it was easy to deal with insurance on this matter.

Yeah I let ya know. The shop is really at Rick Hendrick Chevrolet. They brag about being the only BMW certified paint shop. I guess that is chosen by who owns a BMW dealership. Since they own the BMW dealer...thats probably why.

Im in Charleston. Gray 4 door. Autocross this weekend on Sunday at North Charleston Coliseum if anyone is interested. Its always fun to go beat up on the Mustangs, GTO's and whatnot.

nilknarf · 09-21-2010, 09:10 PM

Just joined. I'm in Mount Pleasant. Could any of you Charleston guys with tint recommend an installer?

bmwfan1 · 09-21-2010, 10:11 PM

I had Norton's on Ashley phosphate do mine. Jason, the owner has a white 335 and we both have all of the same mods. I'm installing his intercooler this weekend. Did mine about a month ago. He's a great guy and they do great work. put felt on the door jam to avoid scratching. I had some tips made for both of us and powdercoated them black chrome through one of my vendors at work.

pittyinSC · 09-22-2010, 01:01 AM

Spotted a black E92 with black wheels and exhaust at around 7:20pm on King Street. Anyone on here?

How many of you 335 owners have had problems. I just got mine back for 2 more things breaking. The drivers side mirror went inop and fuel cap lanyard broke, then after picking it up today, my adaptive headlights stopped working.

add to this list the 2 fuel pumps and 3 injectors, central locking system, passenger seat control, 2 tires, I dont know what else could go wrong.

Anybody here from the Charleston area ever deal with European Road & Racing?
I know they are Dinan authorized, and I have heard good things from their comments section, but who puts negative comments on their own page LOL. I'm a former Bimmer owner (99 e36 M3 Coupe) and plan to purchase an 07-08 e92 in the spring, and want to have a good alternative to the Hendrick shop for service/future mods.

bmwfan1 · 09-24-2010, 11:19 PM

I have not used them. I'm local and usually do work on my own. Otherwise I would go to autometrics or exclusively bonnets in mt. Pleasant. I know both shops do great work.

JSCO · 09-24-2010, 11:22 PM

You guys are opening up my eyes..ha...does either of the shops mentioned do paint work? I'm about to convert my oem body to M Tech and a few other mods...

I don't believe either of those two shops do, but I will ask Cory from Autometrics who he recommends at the race tomorrow.
