Car transporter recommendation


Ian

Recommended Posts

I need to ship an e30 from Rochester, NY to Los Angeles, CA.  Any recommendations for a transport company?  We are getting the bait-and-switch from a couple of supposedly reputable companies that advertised closed carrier transport, then when time comes to arrange the pickup they are suddenly open carriers.  Ack!  

Thanks in advance,

Ian

I've used UShip a lot to find an enclosed transport:

I've shipped 2 motorcycles (one from LA, one from Pennsylvania) and 1 car (from San Fran), and was very happy each time.

 

If you are patient, you can get a decent rate.  I got the car shipped  for 1500 to my front door.

 

Good Luck.

Very happy with plycargroup.com, enclosed, excellent service & communication. I shipped one of my BMWs with them from Bedford NH to their Torrance CA location last year. Can get a free online quote.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
