Process

Delivery

If you choose to drive your newly resto-modded BMW home, you may fly into the Asheville, NC airport, conveniently located just 3 miles from Decaf's facility. Alternatively, you may arrange a shipping service to pick up the vehicle and have it returned to you. Decaf will supply you with additional documentation related to the operation and maintenance of any modified components or systems.

Final Inspection and Testing

Your BMW will be driven for several hundred miles to ensure that the project meets the expectations set out in the scope of work. Any deficiencies will be communicated and corrected before delivery.

Reassembly

Your BMW is reassembled in Decaf's facility and subject to high quality standards and attention to detail. Every part or assembly that goes back onto your car goes through my hands.

Mechanical

If body work is being performed, any mechanical components will be removed before hand so that they may be restored or modified in parallel. Decaf works with various craftsmen and suppliers for custom drivetrain configurations, interior restoration, audio system upgrades, metal refinishing, powder coating, zinc plating, anodizing, and more. When required or desired, Decaf also employs 3D scanning, CNC machining, and 3D printing techniques to reproduce NLA parts or modify existing parts.

Body and Interior

Should the scope of the project include paint or interior work, these operations will be sublet to craftsmen that meet Decaf's high standards for quality. All disassembly and reassembly of the vehicle in preparation for such work will be performed at Decaf's facility.

Consultation

After reviewing your initial questionnaire responses, we will meet to discuss your goals for the project and determine the scope of work to be performed.

Delivering Your Car

You can drive, ship, or tow your car to Decaf's facility in Arden, NC, just south of Asheville. Decaf can also locate a suitable chassis for you if you do not already own the vehicle you have in mind.

Inspection

Upon arrival, Decaf will perform a full inspection your BMW to determine any additional maintenance or upgrades required to support the scope of the project. Any additional work will be estimated and presented for approval.
