Hello can anyone suggest a good mechanic, I own a E30 M3 and believe it has a small oil leak along with a few other bits that need sorting. I live in Hertfordshire and wondered if you guys knew a good trustworthy mechanic that knows there way around these cars

Thanks
Manny

I may be totally wrong but I think I've heard Pacerpete on here is in the profession and is up your way. Not entirely sure. Search his name and send a PM.

Pacerpete is your man.

Don't expect it done in a hurry, he's very busy, but most good people are.

Pacer Pete he had more E30 M3s and Sport Evos than I had hot dinners.
But he is often busy so you have to book a few weeks in advance unless is a quick easy fix

Otherwise BMW Dealer

I don't get this one, if your M3 is a pile of scrap and you don't want to pay much to get it fixed because the car is shit and worth 2 bob, then i get it!
On the other hand if your concerned enough to source an M3 expert because you want the work to be done correctly by an expert that has experience working on M3's then cough up or sell up. Simple!!

The cost of Pete's work has nothing to do with money.


He extracts payment in other ways.

A bit late for you now, however although I've not used him personally a mate takes his M coupe there and has been very happy with him, and I've heard of others taking E30 M3's there as well.
