Used to work for Sytner over a year ago they were in the process of buying Rydale then.

Sytner say they are the best company to work for, may be true but the managers need major training

Quiffe diffs for the E30 retail at £600 new! or get someone to rebuild it.

Doubt the dealership can affect the prices that much TBH, I would expect BMW have some sort of RRP!

Spot-on there Dude. Only influence the dealership parts department has is whether or not they offer (or give if pressed) any discount and the amount of any said discount.
IIRC, Rydale only recently bought-out Lind. Sytner becoming a pretty big UK BMW dealership group now.
This is why I no longer drive an E30......
