Hi,

If you see my thread here:

http://www.pistonheads.com/gassing/topic.asp?h=0&a...

I have a fairly substantial problem with my Z4M that I am fearful could completely run me dry in terms of repair costs (M engines are not renowned for being great to repair on the cheap). So to try and help out a little bit, does anyone know any good BMW specialists that aren't rip-off merchants near Basildon? The car will need to be picked up as it, for obvious reasons, doesn't work under its own power.

Please help me out with any contacts you have as I only bought the car last week frown

+1

They spent about 90mins looking for what was in the end a non-existent fuel leak and didn't charge me.

Just outside Basildon, but Moores Motor Services in Wickford do a lot of BMW work. Rob Moore who I've known for about 20 odd years has always owned beemers and knows them and their common problems well! Would be worth a punt mate if you find nobody else. He also used to crew for a BMW race team I seem to remember.
