Workshop in Wellington?

[bigballershotcaller 0]

Does anyone know a reputable shop/mechanic in Wellington for working on BMWs? Looking to get FMIC and Downpipes installed on a 335i... anyone in the area had it done or knows someone with experience?

Cheers

_{fmic? ?? wtf?}

_{Front mount intercooler perhaps?}

_{If so, suggest you talk to Speedtech Motorsport in Seaview.}

Yes, FMIC = Front Mount Intercooler

I was consider STM or Shred but seems like they specialise in Japanese cars...

Could try Powerhaus?

True, I hadn't really considered them but seems like a legitimate outfit. Anyone have experience with them?

I think there was some interesting discussion on here about shred. Involving a court case they lost...

stay the hell away from Shred Motorsport.

I wouldn't trust them with a toaster let alone a BMW. The only reason they are still in business is that mummy & daddy bailed them out and paid me to not liquidate them. You can find the "beware of Shred" thread on here somewhere.

Aaron Lawson is a muppet. He is dangerous. "forgot"to properly bolt in the front suspension in my car.

If it wasn't picked up he could have killed me.

I wouldn't use STM unless you have a evo.

Powerhaus is for Porsche's. I have heard good things about them but you only really see Porsche's there.

Besides Geoff Gray BMW, Macbilt engineering in Grenada North would be the only people I would trust.

Al's (alistar mclennon) straight up, old school. Has been there and done it. The calibre of the cars in his shop are a testament.

I'm getting BMW to install my clutch, mostly because I'm a stickler for BMW servicing. If I was to mod anything I would take my car to Al.
