Took the 3 E36's track racers out for a bash at the BMW Club time trials event and had the time of our lives...

Building these cars was an amazing experience and has brought us all so much joy...

Still high on the adrenaline of the super close racing we had over the weekend...

Don't forget...we can build your dream toy too...!

Botched Rear Subframe and RACP repairs on BMW M3'S... We've been receiving lots of these lately...

Be careful who you take your car to for repairs...there are shops out there charging alot of money for truly sub standard work.

We pride ourselves in having developed the most comprehensive system in SA... no short cuts here. Do it once, do it right.

Another set of BMW E30 Sport seats out of our leather restoration bay.

These seats were very poorly repaired previously leaving us with a helluva task of trying to get them back to good shape.

Mismatched colour, hardened repair media and badly cracked substrate made this a real challenge.

We managed to salvage them and get them looking so much better....

We love what we do and it shows in our work...

For all your leather restoration needs please contact us...

The Car Collector... we love restoring your prized possessions!

Come feast your eyes on some of the finest BMW's in SA at The Mall of Africa today with the BMW Car Club.

Not forgetting that we've won this prestigious event multiple times in the past... which is testament to our ability to detail cars to the absolute highest level.

The legendary BMW E46 M3 AND BMW Z4M Share one of BMW's best engines ever made...well known for its award winning performance and true driver satisfaction, The S54 engine needs no introduction to any true petrolhead. This engineering marvel, needs some very special care and maintenance, as can be expected from a highly strung six cylinder screamer.

One of the key characteristics of this engine is its Double Vanos system that is prone to wear/failure with age and mileage. There are also certain manufacturers faults that need to be addressed in order to maintain a working Vanos system for years to come.

'Bulletproofing' your Vanos as its commonly known, is a process whereby critical parts and seals within the vanos unit are upgraded to higher quality parts to ensure years of trouble free operation.

We are fully equipped to do this process and recommend every S54 engine be done.

Protect your amazing engine with us today !

Vanos, Bearings, Subframe... all under one roof!

The Car Collector... we love S54's!

We refurbished these Brembo 4 pot calipers off a beautiful Mitsubishi Evo 9 recently... they came in looking well used and in need of some tlc. We removed all old colour and logos and recoated using a high heat caliper coating as well as installing new Logo's and finally a clear coat to lock it all in.

These can now be installed and give the Car a nice clean look with calipers that look brand new again !

The Car Collector... we love cars.
