Ive just picked my wife's E46 318i y2k from a main dealer after having a new head gasket and thermostat fitted.They've done a good job and I got discount as the car is over 10 years old and also discount on the stat as they only put a new one on 2 years ago.The ? is I bet you cant guess how much the bill came to?Have some guesses and ill tell later!

Why would you not touch them with a barge poll? The cost?

If so then not all of them are expensive, for example Chandlers BMW charge only £50 ph +vat on cars over 10 years old.

Thats cheaper than most specialists!

Maybe its a Northern Ireland thing, but dealers are just crazy prices.

Independant every time, or buy a book and some tools and suprise yourself!
