I took my E30 there two summers ago when my oil pan was destroyed. The work is done by a few guys in their late 20's who own the place themselves. The main mechanic's first car was an E30.

A new BMW/Mini shop just opened a week ago in Middletown called northeast motorworks no experience with them though.

yea, i see about three threads recommending them..

second question where can i get a new key cut, i just ordered a blank, but home depot/lowes say they can't cut a key for these bmw's

A family owned hardware store will do it. My local one does.

Or you could go to a dealer like New Country and pay more.

You can bring it to our shop, we are E30 and E36 junkies and have all the tools and then some to get the job done. We are a licensed and insured certified general repair shop. We are in East Haven now but are moving to a huge facility in Branford at the end of the month. Let me know if we can help.

I didn't know you had your own shop man, I thought that all your work was done in your residential garage/BenM's.

All the work on the Alpina was done at my house, this is a newer venture with myself and a good friend who is also a great tech. We have been working out of a shop in East Haven for about 6 months but are moving to a awesome spot in Branford in a few weeks. We havent been advertising much as we are moving and dont really want to overload work. But good things to come for CT people that need good honest work.

It sounds great, I definitely have to check it out sometime after I pick up my next e30!
