Hello,
I'm looking to give me M3's engine good service (adjust valves, ignition time and others settings).

Do you knew any good mechanics or garages (BMW M3 specialist) around London (pref west and south)?

If its a general service/autopsy and you are looking for the car to get the attention it needs the only person i would take your car to is Pacerpete.

Pacerpete is a top geezer.

Also there is Bexley Motorwerks over in Kent too.

I have to say I though Pete was an American! :cry:

Others I can think of include CPC/Birds at Uxbridge. Avoid Munich Legends in Sussex unless you like having your pants pulled down! Thorney Motorsport in MK. Moseley Motorsport in the Telford area. Personally! I cant recommend Bexleys.

Poor workmanship (Thats what happened on my car!)

Optimistic time estimates for work to be carried out. i.e they say X weeks and its X months

"Ive heard" not so good power from their engines as well. Maybe some could confrim/deny that.

Workmanship was spot on for the M3.

The timing was good for the M3.

The power on my Dad's is 270hp, so I wouldn't say all that bad from the spec...

Daryllzimms car wasn't giving that bad power either...

Neither was player6's car.

Definitely give PacerPete a try - he's the only person I'd trust with my M3.

Be prepared for a wait tho.-especially if your car's got leather..... :eek:
