zimbrick bodyshops are not bad. I would suggest you to go to the one on stoughton road. They did a great job on my fd's M3 and my gf's 325ci. If you want something cheaper, there's a shop in Middleton. I am sorry but I forgot the name of it. If you ask one of the service manager, they will be able to tell you that. hope it helps.

Thanks Kiddo, I will be taking it to the west side body shop behind Infinity. Much closer to where I live and I can stop by daily to check on progress, they will have my E90 for 4 days repairing some font end damage, hood, grill,
front bumper cover,front panel replacement and one xenon. The car is brand new so I'm really nervous about having this work done. By the way are you the black coupe, m6 wheels I see on campus?

If I'm not mistaken the Zimbrick Fish Hatchery body shop is the only one that's BMW certified - or at least that's what a recent email from Zimbrick indicated. I recently had a fender scrape on my '06 325i repaired by them and it was good as new after the stay.

OCD335: If your car is new, why do you need to repair it? What's wrong? And yes, that's my car.

Deer are all over Madison! Just not downtown.... I see them all of the time driving home. I take 14 to syene and on to S Syene and I would rather be hit in my car then on my motorcycle...but be careful and drive safe

Finest -

That's the route I used to take until I moved to Waunakee last year (lived in the Swan Creek neighborhood). I actually hit a deer in my wife's car on the curvy part of E Cheryl just west of Swan Creek, and barely missed a deer on S Syene a couple of times.

Yes! I just moved to Madison not too long ago so it would be cool to meet some other bimmer people...

And ShadeM3, I MUST see your new m3 when it comes in. I saw a few at Zimbrick a couple weeks ago and they are all really sweet but they obviously didnt have DCT. I hope you opted for the carbon fiber roof instead of the sunroof!

Madison Meet

Would like to meet in or around Mad Town. Early June looks good. By the way Zimbrick did outstanding work on my ride.

Another Madisonian

Perfect post for me to find. Backed into a cement post in a parking lot that was too low to see out the back window and have some rear bumper damage I need to get fixed. I was wondering how Zimbrick's work was. Glad to hear I have a few good options in Madison. And if people don't mind an old guy showing up at a gathering I'd love to join. Always fun to meet other people who are crazy about cars.
