Garage that can refurb my 325i convertible?

[NickF]

Hi all,

I am in the process of inheriting a beautiful 1989 325i Convertible. It’s a one owner car that’s been garaged its whole life. It’s manual, done 100,000 miles and is diamond black with grey leather interior. Best bit is the factory fit M-tech 1 body kit. It was bought by my best mate’s Mum back in 1989 and I was there when she test drove one (I remember it was burgundy and auto) and went to the dealer to pick the car up with them. Anyway, despite it living in a garage, the car has a few dings, the leather seats are in bad shape, the exhaust is non-standard and looks rubbish and the BBS alloys have seen better days. The insurance company back in the day made them install a immoboliser that needs to go too - other than that the car is completely stock. Generally it’s a very clean car, with no sign of any rust, it’s just tatty around the edges. Does anyone know a place that will return this car to showroom condition? Not really bothered where it is, just somewhere great that will go to town on the car. It’s a keeper for me, but I want it to look like it did in 1989. Any help very much appreciated.

Cheers, Nick
