A New Chapter

Munich Legends are pleased to announce the launch of the Munich Legends ‘chapter’ of the BMW Car Club UK. The Munich Legends team have been looking for ways to forge closer links with the Car Club for some time, giving members exclusive access to some of the valuable resources built up over the last twenty years. 

Conceived as a tongue in cheek take on the Hells Angels Chapters (without the leathers), Munich Legends aim to provide a high level of service to club members such as priority access to our vast stock of parts at discounted prices (including many items unavailable elsewhere), members-only areas of the website and online shop, and even free servicing as part of a new loyalty scheme. 

The Car Club members pack also offers other great benefits such as an exclusive reduced hourly workshop rate, exclusive online accessories and merchandise as well as free impartial phone advice from the specialist technical team for all Club members.

Munich Legends becomes Dinan Dealer

Munich Legends are proud to announce their appointment as Main UK Dealer for Dinan, the North American BMW performance tuning house. Dinan is arguably the leading US BMW tuner, building a huge following in the States over twenty years. Their passion for BMW both on and off the track rivals that of any of their European counterparts, with the added bonus of a more favourable Dollar-Sterling exchange rate making US sourced products even more attractive.

From performance re-maps for the current E90 3 series and E60 5 series to the full blown 647bhp E63 M6 upgraded stroker motor, Dinan provide cast iron warranties on all their products, guaranteeing piece of mind to go with superb performance.

Munich Legends launch open new dedicated restoration facilities

Munich Legends are proud to announce the opening of a new dedicated restoration facility at the Ashdown Garage, home of Munich Legends for nearly 20 years. The Restoration of some beautiful Legends is already underway in the new facility, such as a superb 3.0 CSL undergoing a full bare metal respray, total mechanical and interior overhaul, and a cherished 2002 being carefully returned to road going condition. 

Veteran Munich Legends mechanic Mick Hope shares his colleagues’ enthusiasm for the new facilities “we are all genuinely excited to be more involved than ever before in the restoration side of the business. Last week I worked on a 2002 that would have been serviced here as a new car when I did my BMW apprenticeship in 1968. Maybe it even went on my ramp. It is a real pleasure to be putting these classic Legends back to their original glory.” 

The decision was taken to provide dedicated facilities for restoration work as the volume of interest has increased dramatically over the last year. General Manager Stuart Draper sees this as a natural progression for the company. “As we get more and more people asking us to work on their cherished Legends, we wanted to take this work out of the main workshops into a controlled environment where each individual car can be worked on away from the daily hustle and bustle of the service centre facility. Individual components can be laid out without risk of them getting in the way, owners can visit to see the progress of their project and some customers have even asked us to provide stage by stage photographs of their project for posterity. We are also using the new space to build track and race cars for special order customers. All this is so much easier now.”

The new facility is also better suited to press events, as a perfect combination of showroom and workshop. For all enquiries related to restoration work, track day and race car preparation or any other special projects, contact Stuart on 01825 741 161.

Munich Legends appoints Andy Pulford as Parts Manager

The management are pleased to announce the appointment of the new Parts Manager at Munich Legends. Andy Pulford joins Munich from a local main dealer where he consistently achieved top performance figures during his 6 year tenure. His valuable experience in the BMW dealer network will add to the training available from the Munich team on the more esoteric items sourced from outside of the BMW UK network.

General Manager Stuart Draper was Munich Legends’ Parts Manager for nearly ten years and is looking forward to passing his hard learnt knowledge onto his successor. “This gives us a real edge on our competitors”, says Draper.”Not only do we have access to parts not found in the main dealer network, but we also now have the inside track on OEM parts more than ever before. This should make us pretty unbeatable”.

MINI Legends Launch

Munich Legends have now officially launched their MINI Division, MINI Legends. Founded on the same principles that helped Munich Legends take the BMW world by storm nearly 20 years ago, MINI Legends already has a large following. The MINI team has already found some very individual MINIs to sell through the dedicated MINI showroom, such as a 220bhp fully prepared 2 seater Cooper S and a stunning pair of individually spec’d Cooper works models
