    I initially contacted Classic Bahnstormers to diagnose an overheating issue with my BMW e28 and to also perform an appraisal report. Through the diagnostics it was determined that my engine was in overall poor condition and there was a crack in the block. Steve and team then commenced a project to source and fit a replacement motor as well as resolve all necessary issues to make my vehicle safe and reliable for future motoring. This was a long endeavour but Steve and the Team worked tirelessly, dealing with many setbacks and unforseen issues. I am incredibly impressed with the workmanship and communication throughout and was delighted when it came time to collect my car at the end. I would not hesitate to contact Classic Bahnstormers for future work because there passion e28s and Classic BMWs is clear to see. I have driven the car approx 1000 miles since handover and had zero issues.

    I own a 1982 E21 3 Series. I would strongly recomend for quality work and enthusiastic honest service. I had an appraisal which was very thorough and categorised 1. safety, 2. reliabilty and 3. nice to do. We agreed a budget and electrical, fuel supply, braking and welding work all performed as planned. The experience started with breaking down enroute and being rescued by the CB team! Not a service but a kindness! Since returning the car to me about a year ago it has been more reliable and economical (100% so in fact) than the rest of our family cars which are 35 yrs younger! As needed the car will be back in their care. CB put the enjoyment into owning a classic BMW as I now trust the car.

    I found the Steve and the team at Classic Bahnstormers completely by accident whilst searching for an E30 Mtech 2. After a couple of conversations and a visit I decided to buy one of their stock cars an e28 M535i for a restoration project with them. Steve was brilliant in listening to my ideas, keep it stock, keep it stock. The suggestions made to upgrade the challenging parts of a car from the 80's wheels & brakes was appreciated and agreed with, this only done after future proofing the car. The rot went, new panels and fabrication came, the car was painted , engine, transmission and suspension overhauled & rare parts sourced. What a car I have ended up with!!, the work your team has put in is simply amazing.. I love it, thank you so much for working with and working me through the process.... It is a pleasure to drive feels tight and new but old yet alive - how driving used to feel..

    I've had an e28 518i as a daily driver for 16 years. It has been fantastic but as it approached 35 it was bad need of a refresh. As work began at classic bahnstormers it became clear there was far more welding and engine work needed than was initially thought. It's never easy to hear that kind of news so good communication is absolutely key and that's exactly what I got, honest appraisals, estimates and options. I visited the workshop on a couple of occasions during what had now become a more extensive restoration project so saw how bad some areas of rot really were, but I also got to see quality and craftsmanship of the new fabrication work. This was reassuring, I knew the car was in safe hands. I didn't want a concourse restoration as it was always going back to daily duties, and I had worries the car wouldn't 'feel' like the same car. All this was understood by classic bahnstormers and they've given me back the best version of what I gave them. Good for another 35 years, exactly what I wanted. I've had it back for a month now and I'm still grinning like an idiot just driving to work. Highly recommended (as if you couldnt tell). Services: Painting, Body & Trim, Welding

    After careful consideration I chose Steve and his Classic Barnstormers team, to carry out an appraisal of the potential works and and costs involved to return my BMW 535I Sport, back to life after being in storage in barn for 12 years or so. I have to say the works were carried out to a high standard and all the way through the process Steve keeped me updated with information and photos. If your in the market for this type of work I would suggest you give them a call. Regards Paul
