Any good workshop to recommend around klang valley to repair E46 car body, door & door panel repair etc?
My E46 is having problem since day 1 I bought it and is finally thinking of finding some specialist shop to repair them.
Mainly problem I'm facing are :
1) Passenger door need to pull hard from outside then only can open, which seems like got alignment issue cause when pouring water from out side, water may seep into the cabin.
2) rear passenger door very difficult to close, need to slam it hard.
3) When car reverse, the passenger side mirror suppose to move to bottom viewing angle, but mine always go to further left direction, this happen especially during raining, I suspect my side mirror wiring is having problem.
4) Some door rubber seal need new replacement.

Appreciate any good recommendation, thanks.
 
Had ur no. 1 issue, where water seeped into the cabin from the rear door. I actually went to another workshop earlier, but was told that my door trim was the cause. Burnt rm750 iirc for a new replacement. but rain still seeped in, only then went to Optimum in Kayu Ara for a second opinion. Found out that the door was not aligned properly, probably caused by the door slammed into something hard when closing it, making it ajar. The workshop simply 'bent/pulled' the door inwards to solve the issue.

Guess at times the solution for the issues are thru experience, a little bit brute force, rather than technical.

Item 2 guess its the alignment of the door catcher (the thing that holds/latch on to the door when u close it).

Door rubber seals u can DIY. can buy the item at BA.

Thanks for the feedback, is Optimum the correct shop to repair car door alignment problem? Even if yes, will not go there too, no good experience with them at all.
Still need to look for a good body part repair workshop
 
I would say the "correct" shop to go to. My point is they solved my issues that i faced, and the experience of the mechanics that u are talking to. Experience differs fm one to another bro. Ur poison might be my wine.

Since my issue was solved, had no compelling need to go look for another. Perhaps someone else can shed some light on ur predicament. If all else fails, Auto Bavaria is the place u shld head to then.
