I would recommend the garage below for the central belt of Scotland.

We have even managed to negotiate a 15-20% discount for club members on servicing and mechanical repairs

B.M.Motors,
71 Station Rd,

Priory BMW in Wallsend, Newcastle have an excellent sales and service team.

I bought an E36 in 1996 from "Richard" at Priory and, not having been back for eight years, I went in to look at an E46.  I bumped into Richard in the car park and he remembered both my and my wifes names and our old private plate registration!  Of course, I bought the car!

The E36 once went back for a cracked rear lens (just two weeks after I bought it) and they replaced it free while I waited!  The E46 had a tiny rattle at the top of the rev range (my wife couldn't even hear it) but Priory sorted it in minutes under warranty.

Tip Top.

For great service and good prices in the North West try Baymow in Stockport 0161 456 1114.

These guys specialise in BMW's of all kinds and you get a discount on presentation of your club card.

Garages like this are now few and far between.

Although it's an 80 mile round trip I will without doubt be using them again.

Munich Leg ends have always looked after my cars in a professional if not slightly eccentric way.... loved the E28 M5 courtesy car

B&M Care in Pudsey, Leeds - as good as a dealer, twice as
trustworthy, half the price. Genuine parts (naturally) and BMW-trained
technicians.

Williams of Rochdale - very good main dealer.

No M5 courtesy car! But Williams will collect your car and deliver it back
to you when it is ready, and B&M Care offers Corsas for a fiver a day.

I found that R.A.W Spares in Croydon were great when I urgently needed a replacement lambda sensor and a pair of working headlight adjusters fitted to my E34 to get it through the last MOT, much cheaper per hour than a main dealer and they have a huge stock of BM spares!

I put my M3 in for a few bits and Phil Crouch (sorry if Ive spelled it wrong) of CPC Auto Services (@ Birds) did a brilliant job!!! Im very happy with his work and the man himself. He's a really nice guy that knows his stuff and even dropped me off and picked me up from the station....you dont get that anywhere!!

Cheers mate!!

It has to be Vines of REDHILL for me, everytime. Their parts department are very helpful, especially locating parts for my 89 325i Convertible.

Their sevice department, likewise, is superb. They've looked after my 5's for the last 8 years and I've never had a problem with them. The car always comes back nice and clean and to say they are honest is an understatement.

Can be located on the Brighton Road in Salfords Surrey, soon locating to just up the road to Bonehurst Road.

Not bad, like i say, its more the fact they are very straight forward to deal with. One example was when i took the e39 in with a weeping transmission cooler and as I'd already diagnosed the problem and partially stripped it (I had to so that i could verify the problem) they dropped some of the labour off what it should have been. The recent ABS problem I had was the same. They were really busy at the time but still found time to run it up on the diagnostics there and then so that they could tell me which sensor was faulty. I only popped in on the off chance to book it in. They knew that if i knew which one it was I'd do the job myself so it was more than fair of them.

Can't compare prices with any others as I would not entrust my pride and joys with anyone else.

Cheers

Agree entirely.

David Guy - good bloke and a salesman to deal with.

Bought two E46 M3's from him now and he keeps me in touch with what is going on.

Got no service complaints either.  Top notch outfit.

Just taken my car to Damon Hill (this afternoon) for the first
time. So far so good, service has been excellent. spoke
personally before taking the car over to the service manager,
he seemed to know the problem straight away.

And they offer 25% discount on M Series work



I've always used Godfrey Hall in Coventry, and had excellent
service from them too, trouble is they dont offer the discount for
4yrs+ cars in the M Series!
