I had reliable carriers pick up my E46 and E92 today which I am shipping from Detroit to Los Angeles. From everything I have read, these guys are among the best in the business and really take good take of your car. I see their trucks in Detroit all the time as their headquarters are here and they're always transporting all sorts of unique cars from Roush, ford, doge or chevy so they're used to lowered cars and limited production high end cars. Their trailers are also built with custom cars in mind. Of course you will pay a premium for the service and expect to pay twice the going rate if you were to ship open trailer through some broker and random truck. But in the end your car is not exposed to elements, people messing with them or overhanging tree branches on the streets leaving you with a bunch of scratches.
I asked them to put my E92 on the top rack to preserve the CF roof from rock chips and they had an open spot so they were able to accommodate. My E46 went on the bottom but they used a big plastic bag to prevent rocks or coolant/oil from dripping on the roof. The 46 is super low and cleared the trailer without problems. So far I am very pleased with the service and attention to detail. They spent 30 minutes per car documenting all the flaws on the body/wheels as well.
for what its worth. both cars were tied down using the tires and not suspension components.
I am picking them up next week so we will see how the experience will turn out at the end !
