Gearbox specialist in the east mids

[eltax91]

Hi guys

Just picked up an e61 525i for the daily grind. It's got an auto box and is on 134k miles, with no evidence of an oil change in the comprehensive history.

So, I'm looking for recommendations of a gearbox specialist to take it to and get it done. I know its pricey, but I think worth it.

Anyone got any trusted guys around? I'm in Coalville, but anywhere east mids is good

Top Gear in Mount Sorrell. Had my VW caddy van box fully reconditioned and they offer a great service. Been established for many years. Ask for Tim.

Thanks guys. Car ended up here:- http://www.mechanicalworkshop.co.uk/ and is being done right now. They came well recommended by a few Land Rover geek friends of mine. The gearbox in question is the same in my BMW as it is in the L322 RR.
