Good BMW Specialist in SE - E36 build

[SidewaysSi]

I live in Hertfordshire and looking for a BMW specialist to do upgrades to my E36 328i. Thinking faster rack, springs and dampers, bushes, LSD etc. Ideally want someone who knows their way round these cars and can make recommendations for parts and suppliers.

I have uses BM Sport in Bexley before who seemed Ok. DM Worx is relatively close and so is CCP but not been convinced by them for such work. Birds don't do older stuff. Maybe Kallenhard? Seems a very new company though and not sure they know the older stuff.

Happy to travel as it will probably mean leaving the car with them a while. Any ideas?

Crago's (Dartford) do all the work on my BMW (E39 540i and previously a 335i & 318d)

They've also built and track a few cars so should be in good hands

Thanks both, much appreciated. I will give them a call.

Try Protech cars - 01296 655 799 (Unit 20 Fleet Marston Farm, Aylesbury, Bucks HP18 0PZ)

What were your issues with DM Worx? I've always found them really good. They always have a few track/race type of cars on the go along with the normal stuff.

I'd recommend Phil at CPC in Amersham. I took my 328 there for years & he knows the cars inside out

Agreed, well priced too.

I hear good things about TWG Automotive (Camberley) and Grosvenor BMW in Reading.

Thanks all - after a bit of ringing around, I will use ProTech. Seem a decent bunch and relatively close to me.

The Gibsons from TWG Automotive both (RIP Tim) used to race an E36, know the way round these cars well.
As does Clive from CB Auto Tech
Robin at RAW Motorsport too

I've used BM Sport. Go people to deal with

Any recommendations for the Surrey area. Had my e36 nearly 18 years now and needs a refresh.

Nothing fancy just sort the handling out and having a good check up.

Have you tried Biddenden Motor Works?

They are a popular BMW indy & run a few E36 race cars - they are located just up the road from Crago's, the owner races an E30 with an E46 M3 engine fitted - very nice car, all done the workshop.

They have a facebook page so you can check out what sort of stuff they do - I've used them for years, all enthusiasts too.
