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! :bye:

$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. :thumbsup:

Advans "Gary" got bodywork done? i didnt know that all i saw was the acs spoiler but i thought that came painted... hmmm :think: im going to call him up and see what he's got to say lol

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.

1G is cheap! The place i go to does work for dealers and he would prolly charge 1,500. Mebbe he'll do for 1. not sure. he's in bklyn called Sam's Auto Body. Used to be in Manhattan

dude, take the car to ILLUSIONS ON QUEENS BLVD. IT'S $900 THERE. PAINTED/INSTALLED. SPEAK TO MARK OR LEON 718 476-9696 :cool:

what about Fender Benders in LI? heard they were great.

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

btw, modding of the e60 is paused. gonna get some stuff for the AMG first. :D

AAA Best Auto Body in the Bronx. Mike is a fantastic guy and his people do incredible work.

Anthony - If you do the ACS kit, don't contact me for advice anymore! :P ;) :barf:

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