I got a quote from the stealers for Ԛ£140 for a oil change on my 320 !!!!!! I dont want it rebuilt !!!!

Anyone know of good BMW specialist in the south east, just wanna get the book stamped by somewhere that does BM's, I am a mechanic so do the rest of the work myself, just wanna stamp the book as it has a full BMW service history.

Hi mate,
I know of two places: BMW Chandlers (stealers) in Hailsham, just off Diplocks roundabout;
and BM Auto Sport (Parts and Accesories and Alloy Wheel specialist). I have a card with his number: 07909900222

hope this helps
Jose

[koos]

Have you guys taken anything to the above companies?

[JOSEMI]

Never to the stealers... A friend of mine (mechanic) does the tricky bits for me when I can't.
about BM Auto sport, I haven't, but heard good things about them around here in Eastbourne. They have a website www.bmautosport.co.uk

[koos]

We have a branch in eastbourne, Rossetts, Mercedes Commercial Dealers.
Useless info I know.......

[JOSEMI]

I am not too keen in taking my car to the a branch and rather do it myself with my mate, it sounds silly but I want to know what is going on around under the bonnet of my car and had experiences in the past of dodgy jobs in the mechanics so...

I know what you mean dude, thats why I do all the work myself. I just wanna stamp for when I sell it.

[JOSEMI]

sell it really why ? - by the look of it in the picture it looks mint mate, are you going to get another one ?? if so, which one is your choice ?

[koos]

I dont wanna sell it yet, it's only got 56000 on it, i'm just thinking to the future, resale and all that. Next is a 325i or 318iS or..... build a 325 turbo to throw in this one. Getting married in dec , so only next year.

[JOSEMI]

56k that's why it looks like it does.
Congratulations mate, all the best ! - that should be a different thread tho !!

Koos,

There is a good independant place in Monksgate (half way between Horsham and Cowfold), called GCS Engineering.

They specialise in all German cars, and regularly have Porsche, BMW and Audi's in their workshop.

Cheers,

I use a guy called Mark, MJF Engineering, 01306-713232
He is excellent and based not too far from you by Capel/Beare green below Dorking. I'm in Horley and it only takes me about 15 mins to get to him cross coutry.
He was one of the first mechanics that Munich Legends employed and has a long history of BMW's. He knows his stuff and also races a 325.

[Fushion_Julz]

I'm with Mags....and can recommend Mark at MJF

Give him a call....

Mags: did you get your bulkhead sorted?

[AndyTouring]

Munich Legends are in Sussex just south of East Grinstead.

Don't know what their rates are but I would expect them to be cheaper than a main dealer (but not by much).

They know their stuff with older tackle - got my 635 there.

Don't get tempted by the CSL's, 635's, Alpina etc.

[mags]

I could recommend that you *dont* go to Munich Legends in my personal experience.


Hi Julz, Not yet, haven't had a free weekend, I was also trying to get hold of a guy on the BMWCC forum who said he could lend me the tools to de-pin the fusebox.

[m3ben05]

Munich legends are excellent but expensive. TCS automotive in High Wycombe are good and reasonably priced.

Lol..last time I looked, though, High Wycombe wasn't in Sussex!

If you are gonna drive and can't get MJF to do what you need, try Munich Motors in Wokingham...not used them myself, but they get very good feedback from everyone who uses them...

[m3ben05]

Its in the south east tho, like the guy asks for in the original question.

Mark is also a very good mechanic, as is Alex Elliott, both in sussex

[Fushion_Julz]

Oops..apologies..I say the guy was in Sussex and forget the rest it was so far up the page!
