hey guys I am going to buy the M-tech kit soon from Garry from BMW of Newport but i wanted to know if anyone in the NYC area know any good bodyshops to go to. I got a quote from Norman Collision Works in Great Neck for 1G to paint and install. They seem pretty reputable and looks like they good work all i saw were BMW, Benz, and some exotics waiting to get painted. Just wondering is anyone knows of other shops that you guys trust and i'll call them up for a quote. Thanks in advance guys!

$1000 for paint and install is a GREAT price!! Contact members, JS530xi, Anthony517, nigxdoof and advans. Ask them which body shops they use in Queens.

That sounds like a good deal.

If you want options, there is another place, they work with Bayside BMW as a authorized bodyshop. Paul Petrone, in Flushing / Fresh Meadows Queens. I think they are a little expensive but can definitely match BMW quality and paint.


If you want more info let me know. I can try to dig it up. But the place where you mentioned first is probably your best bet.


Good luck.

Ant, why don't you get the ACS kit? I love how the ACS kit looks! quite aggressive.

Anthony - If you do the ACS kit, don't contact me for advice anymore!

Gary - Are you really going to do the ACS kit on your car??? Noooooooooo!!!!! You've done such a great job on the car so far. Don't ruin it.
