Does anyone know of someone who does body repairs on a e36 BMW.

I have got quotes from Auto body shops but the prices are out my range.

Looking to keep the price under 1000 for a new rear passenger quarter panel install+paint...

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

You probably already know this but a quarter panel piece to your body is alot of work to do.
Obviously it takes countless hours to weld, prime & paint.

You could try SOS autobody or everyone's favourite "Screamin' Paintworks"

Alyth Autobody did a good job on my 325 IS for a good price, but the M is going to Maranellos for its work...

You'll find them in the phonebook somewhere...

Somebody hit and ran it after the company Christmas party... Nothing too serious, probably about $2-3K to fix....

Got bumped on the rear passenger side... new tail light, bumper was pushed out of place so it needs remanufacture/replacing (we'll see once they get it off) and there is a small dent with paint chip that is starting to rust...so...once again I am off to the body shop...

If you drive an M don't cheap out. Most of the time you get what you pay for. My brother in law got several quotes to fix his car for around $3K but got hooked up with friend who did for under a grand. The front hood is pretty straight but the rest of it looks like Sh#!

Don't worry, not going to cheap out... Insurance is paying, the car is going to Maranellos to get the work done... I expect perfection!
