Turner Motorsports?

Does anyone here have any experience with Turner Motorsports? http://www.turnermotorsport.com/html/index.asp

I went to a local BMW/Mini performance shop and they recommended them for their pulley and software.

Any thought?

They come highly recomended. I just recieved an order from them today and I've been up there once to visit. I'm heading there Saturday to check out a BMW rear spoiler to see if would fit on a Mini.

If I ever get a head, I will most likely have Turner install it.

I just made my first MINI purchase with them a couple days ago (caliper stiffening kit, rears), and the order was processed promptly, as well as my follow-up inquiry. My experience thus far has been positive. They seem to have a solid reputation in the BMW world...

TMS is a first class organization, owned and operated by Mr. Will Turner. They are well-respected in BMW circles and have been quick toget on the MINI bandwagon as well.

I've had dealings with them for BMW parts and help for about three years. Solid crew, met the road crew out at Laguna a year back in the pits, when they found out I was from thier neck of the woods I walked away with a hat, shirt & posters! It was a good time.
A fellow BMW CCA member just showed us some suspension work they did on a 04 330xi. Very nice work, and it was done when they said it would be done. I've never seen an AWD BMW look good, -this one does.

In writing to Dave there for advice, about three months ago I asked about the Mini and if someone whos used to RWD would enjoy a FWD car.

He stated that he has a heavily modded 02 M3 at his disposal. He prefers to drive the Mini! Its the best car for doing 120MPH at the track as it is 25 around town. That comment from such a well respected BMW "nut", changed the way I think about Minis. Now I just gotta fork over the MSRP and get one. Man I hate it when they won't deal at all!!!

As others have mentioned, I wouldn't hesitate to deal with Turner. I've heard many good things about them.

I posed the same question as you before buying my Borla exhaust from them 2 years ago, and having them install it. People had nothing but praise for them, and my experience was excellent. They charged me for less labor than it actually took, since it was the first Borla they had installed and it took a bit of extra time.

Did a great job with my short shift kit, too.

The Turner shop is first class top to bottom with a great deal of track experience.
