The only decent place I know remotely near is Autotech in Liverpool. Strange but the website doesn't have a number only an email address.
They've been around a while and never heard anything bad about them.

Try Darren Wood Near Stockport on 07767394316. Highly recommended, works on my e30 touring and e28 never a problem and very reasonable.

Another positive for Chris W, but I use Rockvale (www.rockvale.co.uk) as it's nearer to home - Chris is in the middle of nowhere :D

Bought a few cars off Mark and they've worked on quite a few of mine, honest, does a good job, can chat to the mechanics and decent prices (btw he hates diesels!) - also gets a lot of work from David Holmes BMW so they can't be that bad :wink:
Previously owned loads of old E30s, E34s, a few E36s, E32s, E39s and an E38.

Currently in a diesel Audi - miss me old E30's....

I can't imagine BM Tec saying the E30 is crap, Andy is well known for his retro attitude :?

Try Cheshire BM -0161 339 5444 and ask for Derek or Paul and tell em Kieran put you in touch, these lads wont stiff ya I can assure you.
