Subject: Looking for a trusted Romanian restorer for two classic BMWs – BMW 2002 & BMW 2000 CS
Dear BMW Club Romania team,
My name is Fabien and I am a French BMW enthusiast.
I am contacting you because I am looking for a serious, trustworthy and genuinely passionate classic BMW restorer in Romania.
I have two BMWs that I would like to restore:
BMW 2002
BMW 2000 CS
Both cars require a substantial restoration, including complete disassembly, complete sandblasting, extensive rust and bodywork repairs, full paintwork, mechanical restoration and complete engine rebuilding.
I am not looking for a concours restoration or an expensive luxury restoration company.
My priority is to find a passionate craftsman or small specialist workshop, with an excellent reputation among BMW enthusiasts, who takes pride in his work and can offer a high-quality restoration at a reasonable price.
My target budget is approximately €35,000 for both cars together.
I understand that this is a limited budget for two major restorations, which is precisely why I am looking for someone who works from passion and has reasonable costs.
However, I am looking for a professional and transparent relationship:
detailed quotation;
work carried out in clearly defined stages;
photographs throughout the restoration;
no significant additional work without my approval;
invoices;
warranty on the work;
possibility to see previous restorations;
references from previous BMW owners.
Ideally, I would like to find someone with experience in BMW 02, Neue Klasse and/or E9, particularly serious bodywork and rust repair.
This is where I would really appreciate the help of the BMW Club Romania community.
If you know a restorer whom you would personally trust with your own BMW 2002 or BMW 2000 CS, I would be very grateful for a recommendation.
I am particularly interested in a talented craftsman who may not have a large internet presence but is well known and respected among Romanian BMW enthusiasts.
I am prepared to transport both cars from France to Romania if I find the right person.
If possible, I would be very grateful if the BMW Club Romania team could forward my request to members who specialise in classic BMWs or indicate the appropriate section/member to contact.
I am looking for a name based on genuine experience and reputation, not advertising.
Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards,
Fabien
France
