absolutely incredible. you are definitely winning. have to get you some shirts to showcase. ;)

Welcome you guys. Nice to catch you on here. I seldom visit the BMW forum for PI coz there's too much monopoly there. But glad u decided to join us.

Beautiful shop man, only thing I would do differently is the glass windows into the shop. Nobody likes to have people watching them while they work, and customers don't want to see what goes on in shops

transparency... is good for both the customers and the shop owner. customers can see how they work and will earn more trust.

I think a big thing a lot of shops overlook is lighting. You guys got it right.

a rolls pulled in randomly after 2 months of opening?

congrats. looks like you'll be pulling in the high class clientele. money appreciates good things.

I'd be interested to see pictures of that. I have a glass moonroof as well but it's simply a replacement for the stock steel panel, and an independent sliding headliner piece made from the stock one. I wasn't aware there was a second type.

Oops, sounds like I made a mistake. Apparently Manolet just told me that on his E30, the moonroof was actually original from the factory. It was just a rare option one could choose when purchasing their E30 straight from the factory. I'll try get more details/pictures and post them so you guys can see. I honestly didn't know it was a rare factory option! Learn something new everyday!

Awesome shop, I need one like it someday!

As said before that is beautiful. I would LOVE working in a place like that.

@leegf:

i'll try to get a few more interior pics and engine shots over the next few days.

in the meantime, here's a car that pulled in at random today:





:D

Its got the wrong front fenders. The fender flare is too large to be an early 1600. That said, swapping fenders is pretty easy.

Hi BlackbirdM3,

Its a 1967 1600 Datsun Roadster. I registered it a long time ago in the Datsun Roadster SPL-311 Registry before passing it on to my brother. I still get to borrow it and take it to the track every once in a while. You can see more pictures of it on the track on my FB page (Man Ram). I'm the one with a black TR4 as my profile pic.

front view doesn't look as great, but awesome car non the less.

[thealbert]

wow i didn't know they made that, it looks great, that would be a killer family car haha!

Yeah, it's a great car. It handles great and is perfect for narrow tight roads. Think Golf GTI-ish.

Power output is great too with the diesel engines. Great torque.

Here's a picture of a 1 series five-door hatch that I ripped off from the net.

[Pantless Spency]

That's a 1 Series five-door hatchback. You guys in the USA only have the two-door coupe version. We have the five-door hatchback and two-door coupe available here. The hatchback is also available in the world including Africa, Asia, Europe and South America. :D

we've only been open for a little over 2 months, so the place is still a work in progress, but needless to say, this is a dream come true for us!

wow amazing photos looks like a really great shop!
