Hi there, I have a 1989 325i... can anyone recommend a reputable engine rebuilder for me as I’d love it to have a rebuild before I take it for a tour...
I’m based in the south of England
Look forward to hearing from you guys!

the only one i can think of down south is BMR performance in crawley,
they do have a very good reputation & one of the owners (barry) is a member on here.

no worries, if you are on FB they have a page so could be worth a try via that.
