    I use Bimmers South in Bogart. They did my auto to manual swap, full suspension refresh, and most of the cooling system - all on the E36. So far they've been great.

    I use them to.....last time I went to them they finished breaking my glove compartment, left the car filthy and my airbag cover comes off a lot easier now, after they replaced my blower.....but they do good work

    My wife's car (E90) hit a large piece of rubber and broke the fog light assembly. Athens BMW wanted $150 for just the part. Ben at Bimmer MW got the part (new) and installed it while we waited for $90. Thirty minutes in and out...

    I drive past that place everyday. They're outside of Winder on Hwy 53 between Winder and Braselton. I've only ever gotten parts from them but Ben and Yuri (I think they're brothers) are always working on cars there.

    They've only worked on my E36 and only under the car/hood. But yes, I do notice that they tend to leave the car filthy. They've recently gone through some personnel changes too, not sure if that is a good thing.

    Your Mileage DEFINITELY May Vary.

    Where exactly is it? Have you used the shop? Any better luck with this guy?

    The guy that owns the place is Jerry. He also does good work. He did my high pressure hose, and put my gas line back on when it popped off.

    Hey guys...I'm in Athens and currently looking at E46 M3s. I had one paid for and pending delivery but it turns out it was gray instead of titanium silver like I was told. Oops. Does anyone in Athens have a Silver Gray or an Interlagos Blue (any model) they wouldn't mind letting me come take a look at sometime? I'm just trying to get the feel for the colors. I'll buy lunch.

    If you're still looking, give Watkinsville Service Center a call. The owner (Darcy) is a great guy and he has some really knowledgeable guys working there. When I lived in Athens I always took my car(s) there.

    Okay guys, I picked up the M3 a few weeks ago. I don't have enough posts to PM any of the Athens guys yet, but if there are ever any meets, cruises, install days, etc. I'd love to meet some of the other enthusiasts around. See you around!

    Bimmerssouth has a bunch of great guys that work there and they have been doing the maintenance on my previous E30 Vert for 8 years now.

    The warehouse that they have, has tons of used parts and thousands of RIMs there.

    I'll third this. It would be good to meet some other BMW people in town.
    //been at the e34 board for years... didn't know there was an Georgia board, let alone an Athens group.

    Any other E34 people around here?

    Athens meet tonight, I have been running meets since 2006 in Athens, not BMW specific though. It's an indoor meet we hibernate for the winter, don't expect much car talk, but if you want to come out it's at Brett's off Atlanta Highway next to Phil Hughes Honda, we don't bite.

    Typically our meets are at Sonic next to Cycle World during the warmer months. Usually once or twice a month.

    Oh man, I missed it again! Ugh... On a positive note, I now work from home, so the likelihood of my making it to the meets has increased, assuming I'm not traveling...

    How the heck do I upload a photo of my car into this forum? All I see is URL upload only?

    Go down to "Manage Attachments."

    What's wrong with URL though? Just upload them to Photobucket or something.
