My adventure begin (E36 325i (A) 94,

[UnoS]

last week, jalan2 around kedai potong... just to try my luck for cheap e36 parts... at the end 1 got one still good looking e36 3 spoke steering wheel non airbag for rm70 jer....

that's one chop shop at puchong (on left side if drive from putrajaya toll) quote me same stering model for rm650... what lah potong leher betul! kat mudah pun baru range rm250 to rm350 jer...

 

[V-Man]

The ChopShop at Puchong perdana is a cut throat. You'll be lucky to get anything reasonably priced. Besides, the boss/manager seems like got period and not interested in selling.

 

[firdaus325]

agree with u vman.

Bro how would you rate Blue Green with MSpeed?

Currently I goto MSPeed but sometimes I feel the boss ask me to change things which may not be broken. Thats why planning to try out Blue Green.

 

[UnoS]

Advantage MSpeed fast service compare to BG n hv good shop enviroment (waiting area just renovated). Summore can use creditcard if not enough cash. Then if bring wife n kid boleh pinjam kete Ah Meng gi Mydin if they boring waiting there

Advantage BG plak, they hv runner for barang2 chop shop.

For me both MSpeed & BG are good with E36 but most my visit only to MSpeed.
