It has photo galleries of Winfield, Alloway, Foose, Trepanier, Starbird, Rolling Bones, Alan Johnson, Coddington, and 90 more I'm not familiar with, but have work of such good quality that you might want to learn about the ones in your area.
Thanks Brian for getting me to look this up!

the above and the other cars in the showroom are a private collection and not for sale
It's a 1951.. .yeah, I had to ask.
With this spare parts collection for restoration, I think if they need it they will have one on hand to use for those hard to get parts
http://www.bimmerdoc.com/and for some really informative and good read, go through their blog, it's amazingly interesting... and I'm not a BMW guy... unless it's an Isetta of course. http://sandiegobmw.wordpress.com/
Read this one example and you'll agree: http://sandiegobmw.wordpress.com/2008/12/22/bmws-your-college-kid-and-cars/

Always get a second opinion about car repairs, and never go to any shop that doesn't come recommended by a trusted car guy... I saved Mick $2500

Mick called me up one afternoon a couple weeks ago telling me that the BMW dealership told him the 2004 Mini was soon going to need a new clutch, and it had a cracked radiator, a blown head gasket... and would cost about 3500 to repair. Nothing was under warranty.I told Mick to ditch the dealership, go to the PRO in transmissions... Don Wang, DRW transmissions http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2007/04/not-just-transmission-mechanic-dons-gn.html
Mick was treated to an honest mechanic for a change, and they set him straight. The head gasket did need to be replaced... and the trans in the Mini was fine. The guy who took it for a test run told Mick, "I'm gonna be hard on it, that is what it takes to feel it out, and see how it responds... if it feels bad, we'll know it's ready to be replaced."
It responded like a pampered trans with many years of life left.
Score one for honest mechanics, and DRW transmissions.

My alternator was having an intermitent short... and then it would fry the wires from the ignition switch to the alternator. I'd replace the wire, test the alternator, and it tested fine. So i couldn't find what the problem was. I'd drive the car for a month and then it would happen again. Tom and his guys found the problem, and fixed it. Done, no more trouble. Love these guys.

The only place you'll need to take your car for electrical problems
0 comments Posted by st at 4:07 PM619-444-7850, tell them the yellow 69 R/T sent you. They may not remember,
'cause once they fix it, it doesn't need to come back. I was there 10 years ago for my Super Bee, and 5 years ago for my R/T
317 North 2nd Ave, El Cahon.
East side of the road, just in the middle of Walgreens, McDonalds, and the car wash.
