Don't know where you live mate.

But I have had m3's for 8 years and have always taken mine to

BM Motors

Tell him Gary sent you with the Sport Evo. He also give 15-20% discount to BMW car club members.

I wouldn't take my cars to anyone else. He knows all there is to know about BMW's and in particular the S14 engine.

He is well known in the car club Checkout this link

actually a specialist is the last thing on my mind 2day, as my m3 cab got broken into this morning, just got back from the copshop to have it fingerprinted, waste of time. the ba..tards stole everything out of it, satnav/dvd/tft screen, my amp, subs, even my f..kin diamond cufflinks my gf bought my 3days for valentines. absolutely gutted.
but thanks alot gary, actually that place uve just mentioned in wishaw rings a bell? im sure ive been there b4 a few years ago, does he have a huge house with a driveway on the side and a big workshop behind it? p.s im in edinburgh.

well they broke the front quarter glass, so tryin to find new glass has been a mission, all these auto glass companys have been quoting me silly prices to have it supply and fitted, then i phone my local bm dealer, and the quoted me Ãƒ”šÃ‚£22 but just didnt have any in stock.but thank f..k they didnt nick the hardtop, there were probably too metally challenged to even realize it was a convertible.

Hi mate sorry to hear of your rotten luck.

I'd love to kill the feckers. In answer to your question .... Yes that is the same garage it is run by a guy called Davy Blackhall, and he is very good with these cars.

Yours would not happen to be a black cab on an "L" plate would it?
