Overdue thanks to ICS!

**Guambomb** · 03-15-2006, 09:01 PM

I just wanted to publicly thank ICS for what they did for me. ICS went out of their way to make sure one of their awesome creations was buttoned up and ready for delivery after I purchased the car from the previous owner on ebay. They personally picked up the car (2.5 hours and 133 miles away) with absolutely NO CHARGE to me and brought it back to their shop to give it a look over. I'm not even a direct customer to them and they went out of their way to make sure one of their cars was given the treatment it deserves. I was not intitled to anything, having purchased the car from Sean (dtmbimmer) and hoping that everything would be "good to go", they made sure it was and held it until Intercity Lines was able to pick it up for transport. I can only imagine how good they treat paying customers. And as far as the car goes, it is everything I hoped for. It absolutely halls ass and then some!! The car is so solid too that the speed can be deceiving. 130mph can honestly feel like 40 but the acceleration to such speeds is crazy! Anyway, thanks again George and Brian and as they say on ebay, "Highly recommended A+++".

Sweet ride man, congrats on the purchase and welcome to Fi club!!!

**danp412** · 03-15-2006, 09:27 PM

Is that the one that was on ebay for about a month?? Absolutely one of the most beautiful Turbo M3's I have ever seen, congrats! ***Wipes drool from mouth***

I am a paying customer but think I give them a hard time more than often cause I can be real anal when it comes to my car. I complain and pick on little things that other customers probably would not (which I am sure George and Brian grew accustomed to by now

). But I know that ICS does very good work and their customer service has always been top notch.

It's great to hear that the whole deal has gone better than the way you expected.

Low Boost:

**DakarDave** · 03-15-2006, 10:43 PM

you got one awesome car... I got a ride in that car, and on high boost.. that car is something else.

Regarding customer service... George and Brian are cool like that...

**jon volk** · 03-15-2006, 10:50 PM

Damn, thats a nice clean car. Enjoy it!

Thanks for all the comments above. I've only put the car on Hi Boost once for a couple of lite pushes on the freeway. Very very, how do you say(?) - ah yes, RESPONSIVE! I've pushed it a few times on low boost and got the waste gate to open maybe twice. F***'n awesome sound that is! I plan on getting a camera mount for the roll bar and getting some vids soon. Some LS1 equipped corvette with bolt ons in the area has been talking major crap about BMW's in our city (License plate supposedly says (BMW EATR), I can't wait to meet him on the highway!

**Captain** · 03-15-2006, 11:02 PM

My Hero!

**carcrazed4life** · 03-15-2006, 11:30 PM

I was envious of Sean's car. Money on the wheels, the brakes, the kit. Just perfect. Favorite Yellow M3 to date. The ICS crew is awesome and customer service is great. Enjoy it!!!

Crank it up and put your foot into it.

Enjoy the car. It actually has my old S52 in it.
