BMW M3 Repairs

We have restored all manner of classic German sports cars, from the Mark 2 Golf GTi through Mercedes including S-Class, Porsche 911 and BMW M-series. This is not just talk: we have the photos to prove it!

Here is an E36 BMW M3 3.0 saloon in Daytona Metallic we are currently working on for a client. The car is very nice: 1995 with 90,000 miles and just two owners. It came in for an MOT and some rust in the floor but, after seeing how we work, the owner decided to let us go through it and really bring it back to top condition.

So far we have:

  • Completely detailed the underside: refixed heat shields, rustproofed and Waxoyled
  • Replaced all brake and fuel lines (petrol tank out), fitted new clutch line
  • Replaced power steering fluid cooler and associated pipework
  • Replaced engine and gearbox mounts
  • Refurbished wheels
  • Replaced worn rear dampers
  • Rebushed all rear suspension and stripped and checked front suspension
  • Removed bumpers front and rear, front wings and sill covers to check for rust
  • Repaired rust in rear panel, front wheel arches, front floors, rear panel, bonnet, replaced boot lid and one front wing with good used panels.

The car is currently in the paint shop and should be back with us for reassembly during the second week in January.

If you’ve got an M3 or M5 BMW in need of an overhaul, feel free to get in touch and come and see the car. It is local and the owner is happy to make it available for inspection. Don’t forget to contact us if you need any more information.
