Car # 227 From Olgivie Automotive
Just picked up my Grey with silver stripe BDR. Car was assembled by Olgilvie automotive. Bill and Rich assembled the car and went over the top to ensure I was happy with the build. The car from BDR has some inherent problems (IE not enough adjustment in the suspention for toe in, toe out on the rear). Bill and Rich had the adjustment pieces machined and got the front and the rear to within " BMW spec" . Because of this the car drives awesome, noshake at any speed. All in all the BDR was a good experience with Olgilve motors overcoming any shortfalls of the car as it was delivered. The BDR is a great car but it is only as good as those that assemble it.

Assembly (or maybe I should have qualified, final assembly) which includes engine/ trans install, is a little bit more than tweaking. Tweaking is fixing all the issues mentioned in other threads in this forum.
So let me restate this"The BDR is a great car but it is only as good as those that perform the final assembly and tweak it" |
