Could have sworn i paid £58 an hour last time i was there, but i could be wrong.
Plus/inc vat maybe?
I dunno.

Either way, much better than BMW main dealers!!

Birds are now charging quite a lot more than they were in 2010

I'd estimate nearer £100 an hour including VAT based on the price I had for some work.

How did OP get on with Birds BMW ?
How did he find the customer service etc ? Are Birds much cheaper than BMW Main Dealers ?
How do the following BMW specialists compare Birds, Technosport and BM Sport ?

Pretty sure that was Prophets. Not relevant I know but my brain has this habit of storing useless information.

Pretty sure birds were one of the first BMW Dealer franchises in the UK :-)

Getting my first BMW from them in the next few days. - So far been helpful, and really good to a noobie like myself!

Already considering getting it remapped by them in a couple of months (120D M sport) - would this be a bad idea?

Birds are very good, but also very expensive.

Phone Phil at CPC : http://www.cpcpe.com/

He used to work with the guys at Birds and will give an honest assesment of what it should cost.
I and my son use CPC - Phil is terrific and knows of what he speaks. Just got my son's Z4M Coupé back from him where he fitted a range of suspension upgrades for us.

Just an update - Received a great service from both Gordon and Jason. Thoroughly impressed with their car sales, highly recommended.

I hear that for some BMW models, Birds have sole rights to supply and installation of Quaife LSD's; can anyone confirm? If this is true and am a little peeved as there is literally no competition or any chance for customers to shop around. It's like those petrol stations on the motorway which can pretty much do as they please...where else are you going to go.

I have used Birds for many years, and they are passionate about BMW's, and are very experienced and professional in what they do.

You waited 2 years to say that, and a decade to reply to the thread.

Cool story brah.
