Hi,
Can anyone recommend a good garage in Dorset, Somerset or Hampshire that they can recommend to carry out services and repairs to E30's?
I recently purchased mine and took it to local BMW for service which I think is becoming an expensive mistake as they cannot remove spark plug (one snapped off) meaning they want to charge me 600+ to sort out. The service 2 will cost me around 1k
so getting frustrated and thinking they are out of touch with E30's even after assuring me they could carry out the service.
Thanks

There's a place called Fritz Bits near Taunton. I've never used them for repairs/servicing but I'm thiking of buying an exhaust from them for my 318iS.

Ohh. Can't seem to find anything recent.
Might not go with them if they're rubbish. What bad things have happened?

This should help to show what happens when something is supplied from them and there is an issue....

Avoid Fritz and Grants like the plague. I lived in Taunton for 5 years and used both. For Hampshire I used Iridium Engineering outside Southampton but does depend on where you are as to what is convenient.
