Guys needing a BMW dealers in the central belt who are familiar with M5s for some servicing and warranty work. I could take to Inverness Calderton but I'm afraid that they aren't so familiar with M cars. Have heard good and bad things about Glasgow. Was thinking about Stirling though.
All opinions greatly welcomed
Thanks Finnie ------------- Silverstone Blue 2006 E60 M5, 1999 Caterham Superlight R, 204bhp! |

BM motors in Law? There is an indy in Govan/Ibrox area but haven't heard much about him other than when he opened up, don't even know if he is still there. BMW dealers in Glasgow, well I can only recommend Harry Faribairn in the Southside. Not sure about their experience of M cars but being in that part of the world I would imagine they have certainly sold a few. They have always been very helpful to me. I found they talked to me not at me (unlike the old Henry Bros staff) and listened to me when I described faults. I would stay well clear from Douglas Park for obvious reasons.... ------------- Be exclusive and drive a Petrol 5 Series!

If its Warranty work then I'd try Menzies in Stirling! And couldn't fault Harry Faribairn either as Andrew has said they are a good bunch! ------------- E46 328ci now sold :(

I can Agree with Haggis, Pheonix seem to be pretty good, I've used them for both my bm's & there well versed in M's. They seem to have an M in when ever I visit them. If your really keen they have a brand new E92 in the show room in daker yellow, ask them if you can take it for a test drive, perfect for passing some time while yours is in the shop But as with every garage there always worth the watching Good luck ------------- Living the M///

Pheonix in Kirkcaldy. I travel from Falkirk to use them,
avoiding Menzies and the city Dealers has always been good to me, especially with Warranty work. Good luck Finney, how you getting on anyway? Who you working for now? -------------  http://www.bmwccscotland.co.uk/cars/e46/m3csl.html" rel="nofollow - My Car 2004 M3 CSL and 2009 E90 M3 |

I know Andrew has had issues with Douglas Park in Glasgow
but,I've been using Douglas Park @ Hillington Industrial estate (Off the M8 near Breahead)and I cannot fault them in any way. They have never let me down in any way shape or form.Warranty work has been 100%,service 100% and when acting on my behalf with goodwill applications to BMW they have exceeded my expectations everytime. ------------- |
