RPM Technik or Back Draft Motorsprot?

[Phil-06sjw]

Hi everyone, I recently got myself a very nice 981 GT4. I have had the car for 2 months now, and got to know it quite well on a recent Nurburgring trip.

I have a few things I wanted to get looked at. This is my first Porsche, and I am looking for a decent specialist to look after it. I am in MK and looking around. It looks like BDM markets themselves as a Porsche specialist, along with a number of other brands, but I also had RPM pop up and Rennworks.

I called Rennworks, and they asked me to call back next week. They are booking into mid-August already, which to me is a good thing, as it shows their demand. However, I wanted to have the car looked at in the next few weeks.

Does anyone have a view on BDM and RMP?

I see loads of good reviews for RMP, with price being the only comment from some, but I am more than happy to pay for a good service.

I am wanting just some general work
- Car inspected (as its new to me and I am new to Porsche)
- Handbrake is long to engage
- It has full Porsche history but I can't see BFC or Diff and Gearbox oil being changed
- Oil separator is what I think is causing a pulsating wine, and it isn't very pleasant
- Geo
- And maybe fit a MR12Volt.

Many thanks

Mark at BDM looked after my R8 and did an excellent job of it. Not cheap (£120ph iirc), but good service.

There were a few Porsches in over the time I had my R8 in but I didn't know they were a specialist (this can be a self awarded title, no idea if that is the case here).

When I has my 981 S, I used a specialist in Wellingborough called DW Performance. The head tech used to work at OPC Silverstone.

I'm MK based as well.

I've used RPM on my old GT4 for some time (services, track set up, maintenance and mods) and they have been excellent.

Good communication, work done on time and in line with estimates - a big shout out to Lydia and Joe form me.

Another shout for RPM. Use them for my GT and GT3, lot of work on the GT including KW dampers, clutch/service etc, currently with them now for an issue which they've turned around quickly as I'm at Goodwood this weekend.

Very enthusiastic and skilled team with an impressive expanding facility. Usually a few CGT's there for work along with the odd 959.

I’ve tried many, many specialists over the years.

Now only ever use RPM for my Porsches.

RPM Technik

Have driven a few cars that have been set up by RPM they really know there stuff, really nice guys to chat with also and not expensive taking into account the expertise and experience you get. They did my mates 992 ST recently and hes very fussy its transformed his car.

Most popular specialists will be booking months ahead, especially for ones that do work on the GT cars as it's spring and everyone gets their cars out

Offering to leave your car at the garage and them look at it when they get a chance (sometimes between jobs) then it will increase the chances with the uncertainty that the car might be in for an undertermined length of time.

Think there is a guy on the Facebook groups who imports and can install the mr12volt

Another vote for RPM Technic.

I also used JZM in Kings Langley and Jaz in St Albans, both of which aren't much further from you (as a second choice)

Never used RPM but only hear good things about them.

Have used Mark at BDM plenty of times, sound bloke and knows his way around a Porsche. No hesitation in recommending him.
