BMW Classsic Center
Looks very promising. Now they need to open one in the US. Mercedes I believe has its classic center in SoCal. How about one for BMW in Spartanburg, SC, where they can use the infrastructure that is already there at the factory?

I'd be down with sending my E9 there. I imagine it causes some consternation with the likes of Coupeking and Carl Nelson, though, depending on the prices.

Hmm.
Do we talk about that classic center, which lied for years about 'no private car restauration for outsiders', but if you had the money you could give your car for them to restaurate it ?
Do we talk about that classic center, which incorrectly built an inka bmw 2002 tii ? See the related bmw2002faq topic
Do we talk about that classic center, which incorrectly restored almost any bmw owned historic car, which are displayed at the bmw museum ? Even a beginner bmw owner can should spot lots of problem with these cars = these cars are not 100% percent original
De we talk about that classic center, which in NOT pushing bmw constantly to remanufacture the NLA 02 / e3 / e9 / e12 / e21 / e23 / e24 / e28 part ?
So if we talk about this nonsence classic center, then my opinion is clear: no, thank you!

Interesting. Please post the 2002faq link, as a bit of searching did not turn up a thread like you are describing, and it sounds like something important to read.

Well, if BMW Classic Center's prices are anything like those charged by the MB center here in Orange County, I don't think Coupeking and Carl Nelson have anything to worry about. Peter and Carl can serve the "Walmart" segment of the market, while the Classic Center goes after the "Neiman Marcus" set.

Nothing in either of the two links said anything bad about the program, aside from possibly incomplete reporting.
As far as the prices go, I am not so sure based on some of the prices others have been tossing around.
According to an article in Autoweek it looks like BMW plans to open a Classic Car Center in the USA "as soon as a suitable partner can be found". Wonder what that means?
Spartenburg makes sense. I vote for the BMW NA headquarters in Montvale, NJ.
